Yes, another popsicle day. Blueberries, despite their name, are not so much blue as indigo (between blue and violet). Blueberries that are bought commercially come from species that are native to eastern and north-central North America. Blueberries were for years, and sometimes still are, handpicked, especially the more delicate varieties. Another method of "picking" them is by simply shaking the plant. Blueberries are a sweet fruit and are, unlike so many fruits called berries, actually a berry in the botanical sense.
A blueberry popsicle is an ice lolly or ice pop, which are flavoured ice on a stick, flavoured with blueberries. Although they may not have much actual blueberry in them. Popsicles themselves are actually a brand of ice pop owned by Good Humor-Breyers. However, the name popsicle has become more of a generic name for ice pops than one associated with a particular company.
