National Freezer Pop Day!

It's a real thing! We're not making it up.

National Freezer Pop Day falls every year on July 8. Jel Sert Co., an Illinois-based snack food company, started this day in 2020. It is an annual celebration to cherish those delicious freezer pops that we used to enjoy so much. There will always be a child inside all of us who longs for cold popsicles during the hot summer days. National Freezer Pop Day is a new holiday that can help us make our summer days cool and refreshing.

A freezer pop is a water-based, flavored frozen mix. They are also known as freezies or freeze pops. Most of the content is water and it is sweetened with sugar. Food coloring and flavor are added to the mix, it is packed in a plastic tube or a casing and sold. 

As time went on, however, manufacturers realized that the freeze pops were popular with outdoor workers trying to cool down and beat heat stress. With that in mind, they began making new mixtures that were aimed less at children and more toward workers, packed with electrolytes and potassium to replenish that which has been sweated away. They still have fun flavors, though, including lemon lime, cherry, mixed berry, orange, and grape!

To do our part, Nova will be running a 10% discount on our Sqwincher freezer pops for the next week*. Enjoy a bit of childhood nostalgia with a cold treat to refresh yourself during these hot summer days, with more potassium and less sodium than many common electrolyte replacement drinks.

*The discount will run from 7/8/25 to 7/14/25.
