The weather is heating up all over the country, except maybe here in the Bay Area. Warm weather means folks are reaching for cooling treats. Popsicles tend to be lower in fat than ice cream, but ice cream is cool comfort food. While most people prefer one type of frozen treat over the other, some opt for popsicles because the calorie count is lower. What about you? Which frozen treat are you more likely to eat?
Popsicle or Ice Cream?

Ice cream for sure! Although it's not exactly warming up up here in Northern VT...
1Does soy ice cream count? I would eat regular more often if I could stomach it!
2I'm vegan so it's popsicles for me!!
3Without a doubt ICE CREAM! I'd rather have the real, creamy, deliciously rich stuff than a fake, "fruit-flavored" stick of coldness!
4Ice cream, although I tend to go through phases depending on how I'm feeling.
5Popsicles all day long.
6Popsicles por vida
7Ice Ice (cream) baby!
8I'm lactose intolerant - so it's popsicles for me. tropical fruit please.
9Popsicles hurt my teeth -- they are too cold and never taste right. Ice cream all the way!
10My BF's parents own an ice cream store - local, organic, amaaaazing stuff. Ice cream all the way.
11I really prefer ice cream, but I've been sticking to popsicles lately
12FROZEN YOGURT
13Popsicles! Specially those that are from Latin America. A Mexican store was recently open near my house and they sell the best popsicles ever
14Definitely ice cream. Higher calories or not, at least it is a bit more than sugar and artificial flavoring. I have to agree with totygoliguez, though. The real-ingredients popsicles at the Mexican grocery store are also great.
15I hate popsicles. Sorbet for me.
16Definitely Ice-cream!
17No contest--ice cream!
18Popsicles. It gets so hot here that ice cream is too heavy.
19I can't even remember the last time I had a popsicle. I find them messy and not terribly exciting. It is either ice cream or gelato or fruit smoothies, mmmmmm.
20Ooh, when it's really hot out, I love popsicles. I make them with real juice and they're delicious.
21ick to popsicles. i love ice cream + froyo!
22Ice cream and Fro Yo!
23Whatever's available...usually it's ice cream, so that's what I'll have. I like going to get frozen yogurt though...and I don't mind popsicles - except they seem like they have more sugar than yogurt or ice cream. Don't know how true that is, but that's what it tastes like to me.
24Ice cream, duh! Popsicles do not excite me, and I hate the taste of the stick. No ice cream on a stick for me, either, unless I can scrape it off into a bowl first.
25Ice cream is my weakness. I could eat a whole Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough pint in one sitting. True story.
26Mmm, fro-yo.
Ice-cream is a bit too rich for hot summer days.
Of course it doesn't help that I'm slightly lactose intolerant... but fro-yo is worth the discomfort
27Fruitfull frozen fruit bars at Whole Foods are better than popsicles and the coconut is yummy!
28I have always preferred popsicles over ice cream. I like the fresh taste it has and since I'm not allowed to eat any diary products (I'm lactose intolerant) it's easy to chose.
29Ice=lollies. i think it's a childhood thing
