The stripes are the point, and they're three flavours rather than three colours: caramel, strawberry and banana, moulded in parallel bands along the stick. Paddle Pops are a lighter, icier ice cream than a tub product, and that's deliberate. A stick aimed at children has to hold its shape out of the freezer for longer than a rich, high-fat ice cream would manage, so the base is built to resist melting rather than to be dense. There's no coating and no crumb here, unlike most of the Streets stick range, which leaves the colour doing all of the work. It has been a fixture of Australian corner shops and school canteens for decades on that basis alone.
