When I saw these Koala School drink tubes, it reminded me a lot of Otter pops, though the cartoon animals and plastic tubes really are pretty much where the comparison ends. As far as I could tell, these are not meant to be frozen and the flavors include orange, yogurt, and strawberry (whereas Otter Pops have 8 flavors). Even though these are really cheap, 88 yen/$1.10, they aren't as cheap as Otter Pops. I did like how these seem to be designed for kids, but show a bartender shaking a shaker on the front.

Those remind me of the frozen treat Bolis made by JelSert (the same folks that make Otter Pops). http://static.fjcdn.com/pictures/BOLIS_6e22d7_783255.jpg
Maybe the treats you featured in today's blog can be frozen? Maybe?
2 problems with Bolis:
1) The plastic is really thick and can darn near rip your teeth out if you are trying to tear one open.
2) If you have someone cut it open with a knife or scissors above where it tapers you can't enjoy the Bolis without letting it melt first :(
Otter Pops win hands down.
You do freeze these, then snap them in half, they are super yummy and taste much better than otterpops cause they are more creamy!
Susie: I never heard of Bolis before! These do look a lot like them though. I guess the cheap and simple Otter Pops packaging serves the whole concept better!
KeFreak: Thanks for the info. I am not surprised that they are better because they are creamy. So many things in Japan are creamier (and fattier).
Thanks to both of you for reading and commenting!
