A Straight Dope Classic from Cecil's Storehouse of Human Knowledge
What's the diff between a Creamsicle and a Dreamsicle?
November 14, 1975
Dear Cecil:
OK, Popsicles and Fudgesicles I understand. So what's the difference between a Creamsicle and a Dreamsicle?
The sherbet-like shell of the Creamsicle is identical to that of the Dreamsicle, but the payoff inside is ice cream in the former, ice milk in the latter. The difference in price, last time I checked, was about a nickel.
