Dear Cecil: OK, Popsicles and Fudgesicles I understand. So what’s the difference between a Creamsicle and a Dreamsicle? C.S., Chicago

Cecil replies:
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.
