You call it     ESKIMO PIE

I first heard this one many years ago when someone got the
idea of selling a chocolate coated piece of vanilla ice cream
wrapped in tin foil. It's trade mark was a picture of an eskimo
standing in front of his igloo. It was heavily advertised in the
New York  City area and was sold everywhere.  However,
it was soon eclipsed by someone who had the idea of mounting
the whole chocolate covered ice cream on a stick and
calling it a Good Humor Ice Cream Pop.   Which is still being produced
in the millions today.

that you ate when you were a child)
