The Internet Is Arguing Over The Correct Name For ‘Zooper Doopers’ & The Madness Must Stop
A debate has taken hold of Twitter with users arguing over the correct name for the icy summer treats all Australians know as Zooper Doopers. The madness must stop.
It all kicked off as user @fetusleen posed a simple question: What are these sugary iced sticks below called and what’s the best flavour?

To any Australian, the answer is bloody obvious. We are talking about national treasure and actual lifesaver from the summer heat: the humble Zooper Dooper.
Aussies rushed to (correctly) identify the icy treat.
20 Zooper Doopers almost look quite sad and lonely. It’s not summer if your freezer doesn’t look like this. pic.twitter.com/6yT8NFRckx

However, people from all around the world had a variety of responses. One of the most popular has a rather bizarre name.

We have our answer. They are called Zooper Doopers but this is also accurate…
Pink, and they are called “stop eating those or you’ll ruin dinner”

As for the colour, we may never agree on the superior flavour…but Fairy Floss FTW!
