LOL! One of my elderly cousins was the candy lady and she had frozen cups all the time. I used to get hooked up! 😂😂
My Grandmother too in Pensacola
I always said that when I grown up I'm gonna be the Cold Cup Lady 😂😂
We called them cool cups in Houston. Bought them from the neighborhood cool cup candy lady. Dang I miss those times.

I love surprises.
I remember going to a private school and we had a froze cup lady too!

My auntie was the frozen cup lady, candy lady, "candy" apple lady, chip lady, and the "drank" lady!.....She sold plates on Saturday and Sunday! My childhood was so lit!
Wow Jeremiah. That is good. At least you didn't have to worry about buying anyone else's frozen cups of food. Thanks for sharing!

*BE BLESSED AND HAPPY AND KEEP SHARING YOUR PRETTY SMILE*
Dey call me da flip lady or da candy lady. I had 3 freezers in my house. 2 was just for flips. I made between 150 and 200 flips everyday. .50 each. A hundred bucks everyday just from flips. And I always sold every one ov them. But these things should be $1 each cause koolaid and shuga...ain't cheap! I don't sell them anymore but everyday and anywhere I go, someone always ask me if I still sell dem good ass frozen cups😂. And when da lil kids see me dey say...dey go da chilli cup lady. I kiss it. Do sometimes I would make them and post them on my fb page and tell em to come get em...dey free! Thanks for sharing this.🙏🏾😋👍🏾👏🏾
Wow that's cool to hear from an actual candy lady herself. I couldn't imagine have 3 freezers in my place. lol 100 to 200 flips a day. Wow you were making a lot of money back then. I know that was a lot of work too! Yeah I'm sure Kool aid and sugar was definitely not cheap back in the day. Now it's really cheap to buy. Still popular though. It's amazing how things have changed since then. Thanks for sharing your story.
IT warms my heart to think of this small way of keeping money in our neighborhood. GOD BLESS the frozen cup candy lady.
Oh wow, 3 freezers.
Use to buy them in the projects i grew up in they wore. 50 cent!!! 😎👍🏽 throw back days
That’s right. The Candy lady sells flips for 50 cent
I AM THE ICEE LADY N MY HOOD...50¢ A POP
Wow that is Awesome Cathy! Thanks so much!

Dade county here, grew up calling them frozen cups. I remember buying one mostly everyday after school for 50c with a hot sausage, I can’t remember the last time I had one of these, thank you for the video 😩
You're welcome not a problem. Happy that this video brought back memories.
In Chicago we call that a “Icey” or “Icey cup” or “Slushy”. Funny how every city/state calls it something different, but is referring to the same thing.
I know right. it's crazy bruh. Soo many different names and versions but at the end of the day, it's the exact same thing regardless of how it's made.
Lol I said the same thing about “Icy cups”.
Icee cups in chicago
I’m from the south side of Chicago and we used to have this guy walk around selling Icey cups when I was a kid. 1$ a cup! I was just telling my kids about him and then this popped up!
Atlanta calls em icys of slushies too
The worst feeling was when you squeezed the cup to flip it upside down and it slid all the way out and hit the ground.
NolaWhoDat504 Oh I've experienced that too. Painful memories. LOL
🤣 yes
Yes! That was the worst!!😂😤😢😂😠😂😂, especially if you couldnt get another 50 cents right away and all you could do was watch everybody else tear theirs up!!😂😂😂😂
@@tyrarenae3486 My cousin was always on the block hustling, he made sure I kept CandyLady fair!!!
@@ChuckysBride304 That's so good! When i dropped mine, i always wished i had someone to hook me up!!!😂😂😂
I almost cried watching this video, it reminded me of New Orleans when I was young!!
Simple times! Lawd how I miss home
Happy that this video brought back memories. Thanks!
When I was growing up in Florida we called them flips 😂 I lived right next door to the flip lady 😌 I miss those days lol
Awesome Rachel. You were lucky! Thanks for sharing!
Are your from Orlando as well 😁?
Brings back memories..on the "rez" we call them "ice cups". My neighbor still sells them today for 50 cents a cup😎😁
Ice cups sounds fitting. Wow they still sell them today? I thought it wasn't the same as it used to be. There's still a few people who still makes them. Thanks for sharing your story.
Well damn !!!
Really! That's nice to know. I thought about opening a Candy House.
Where I grew up, we called the chilli bear. Charleston SC
You are right growing up in Chicago as a kid in the 70's you always had those neighbors that sold ice cups for a quarter 😊
As a child in Memphis in the 80s we called them “Freeze Cups” & they were in white paper cups. Looks good & refreshing! Just in time for summer.
Cool that is good to hear. I know right. Thanks for sharing!
Mane wat? Ms draper was the candy lady in the Foote Holmes had the Fi freeze cups
Cool
Yup! Just up the road in Nashville it was the same thing! In the 90s they were 50 cents...go to the freeze cup lady with a pocket full-o-change! Lol I need a sac FULL
Yup, I just said that lol...
Straight up throwback I haven't had a frozen cup since I was a kid.❤❤❤❤❤
You are right about that. Thanks for sharing!
We call 'em "lilly dillies" down in here in Palm Beach County, FL. ☺
That's what's up!
561 baby!!!
Lilly Dillies in Pahokee, FL - Palm Beach County!
Yes yes!
Delray Beach, Fl 🖤
I'm from uptown. We called them "icebergs" or "frozen cups." Those were the good ole days!
You are right about that Tangelica! The good ol days. Too bad those days are now a distant memory! :)
Charlie Andrews By sharing these recipes you are bringing part of the good ole days back!! You’re making history.
We called them freeze cups in VA too!! I want one right now!!😋
I’m from p-town my grandmaw always make dem shits.

yep so sad
Or wanted to see liquor added into the mix 😏
🤣😂
Max McMahn It's more than 3 now. LOL Everyone has their own opinion, name and story behind this popular frozen treat. Some people like it and some people may not like it. It's cool with me! :)
I’m from Mobile Alabama we called them “FREEZE CUPS” and we got them from “DA CANDY LADY” they came in white styrofoam cups and was around 25 cents to 50 cents
Awesome Jeron! Thanks so much for sharing your story!
Mrs. Clay, who did three generations of hair in my family, sold snacks on the side, including these _Chilly Cups._ 😊 She put hers in paper cups, which made pushing the ice up easier than a plastic cup. Man, this takes me back. 25¢ each back in the ‘80s…or a free treat, if you were well behaved waiting for your mom’s hair appointment to be done 😉😄
Wow, that's good to hear. What a time that was selling these for 25 cents. Same here in the 90's. Thanks for sharing your story!!
Charlie thank you for bringing back old memories. My grandmother was one of those people who had her own store out of her low income apartment in Lake Charles Lousiana. The kids & adults would come from miles around to get her frozen cups. U made them perfect. When my grandmother made her frozen cups it was like taking a science class everything had to be measure down to the T. Other women in her complex would try & sale frozen cups but they where no match to my grandmother. Besides her special love she put into making them she also had 2 secret ingredients she put in her cool cups, that definitely kept them wanting more. My grandmother would get up early in the morning because the kids would come before they went to school. Believe it or not this is how my cousin college got paid, my aunts down payment for a car & also my cousin was able to have a beautiful wedding off that strong black woman hard work. I can go on & on about my grandmother. I learned(I know this isn't proper grammar) so much from her. All her wisdom is what keep me going daily. Thanks Charlie for not letting those old traditions die. May my grandmother aka mother Dear R.I.H!😇
You're welcome Barbara not a problem! I appreciate the compliments! Wow some people don't really measure their ingredients. Oh yeah I'm sure she made a lot of money off of them. lol People were really hustling back in the day making all sorts of sweet treats. Thanks for sharing your story.
Beautiful. Just lovely ❤️
Lord that sounds so good, I wonder what her 2 ingredients were. God bless. Gonna make my grandkids some. Those were the good old days
Small world ! I stumbled across this video because I was trying to explain what a frozen cup is to my friend in St Louis…well I’m also from Lake Charles ☺️Goosport…my frozen cup lady was Mrs. Willie Mae …this was a great story 🫶
Well… Go on tell us those secrets ingredients from grandma.
My auntie use to make these frozen cups for us when we were children, she use to put bubblegum in them before they frozen, we LOVED them in the hot summer months! 😋❤️
Wow. Someone said the exact same thing. One other person. I bet they were good. Thanks for sharing your story.
Awww
When I was little we call them cool cups you took me back with the cool cups I love it you be blessed
Wow that's cool. Thanks for Sharing!

We called it “Dixie cups” in Baton Rouge. They cost 50 cents. 💜
I just commented that!!! The dixie cup lady sold candy, chips, and pickles too!

@@sisisgrowing1279 right 😂😂 these were 25 cents.
GA Homesteader91 I heard that from a few people that's from the Baton Rouge area. It does seem fitting as the liquid is frozen in Dixie cups! All the one's I had was 25 cents. The highest price I heard was from New York. 2 dollars and 50 cents. lol

Awesome. You are right about that! Thanks for sharing my fellow New Orleans native!
Those frozen cups look so amazingly delicious Mr Charlie. Growing up here in Louisiana, they were a great summer treat as a child. We bought them for 25¢ for a small one, and 75¢ for a large one.♥️🦋
Yasss
Heyy Minda! I appreciate the compliments. Yes you are right about that. These were a great summer treat as a child. All the frozen cups I had were the same size and the same price 25 cents. I wish they would of had a larger one for 75 cents. lol
I'm 48yrs old and I still make Dixie Cups. My kids look at me like I'm crazy and I just say to them " its a childhood thang you wouldn't understand."
That is awesome! Good to hear that you are keeping the tradition going. Thanks! :)
That’s what we used to call them , Dixie cups, we’re the 70’s babies!!
We called them freezies. The lady lived around the corner that made them. They were sno-ball flavors in paper cups. The best on a hot summer afternoon in Metairie, Louisiana.

We call them Dixie cups 🥰 I like adding pineapple juice to my mix
Yes ma’am. That’s the only way to make them.
I am gonna try that adding the pineapple juice
stlgirl3674 yes I add it to tropical punch or the blue raspberry lemonade. It’s bomb
smileyface985 That name seems fitting since that's the cup the liquid was frozen in. Ohh yeah the pineapple juice just takes it up a notch further. Some people even add fruit cocktail or fresh pineapple. Soo good! :)
Yesss,my mom use to make them and instead of all the water,she’d add pineapple juice too. Try you’ll see a difference
In Alexandria La we called these “Frozen Cups” 25 cents each! And we had a candy lady damn dear every other street. GOOD OL DAYS
I know right! Same here in New Orleans. Definitely the good ol days! Thanks for sharing!
In Pineville all we have was a candy lady since the store was too far but she sold at .50 a cup along with freezer pops, ice cream and nachos.
Lol ours were 25 cents too. And yep, there was always a Candy Lady or Cool Cup lady. We had everything, went to her for pickles, cool cups, chips, frito pies and more.
I doubt if these ladies exist anymore.
I remember them being called frozen cups too😊
Cool!
Omg I miss these days! I was just telling my nephew about growing up in the 90s here in CA and having icee houses in every hood❤
I know, right! What a time that was. Thanks for sharing!! 🙂

Wow. Almost at 100 degrees. Thanks a lot! lol
Right? Hot as hell here in Dallas today lol
In some black communities of Florida in the 1970s, we called them "honeydrippers". And we just called them by their colors instead of by the actual flavor...... Great memories!
Wow that is awesome. Oh yeah absolutely. We did call them by color as well. Thank you!
Yes!! I was looking for this comment
Yup!
Charlie, you took me back to my childhood living in New Orleans!!
I know right. Glad this video brought back memories! Thank you! :)
I could listen to you talk all day!! People from New Orleans are some of the most welcoming hospitable people I have ever met.
I appreciate the compliments. Thank you!
Never had these before but they look delicious! They remind me of a type of slushy.
Thanks for giving this recipe from someone living in the west coast!! It’ll make a great summer treat!
Wow that's something. You're welcome not a problem.
Yes indeed memories as a child going to Louisiana to families my Auntie made these we called then Huckabucks
I know right LaWanda. Huckabucks actually has it's own page on Wikipedia. Check out the link if you like. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huckabuck

First time I heard d that word "huckabuck" was from rapper manny fresh while shooting a video I love it
They call it “Cold cup” on the west bank
My grandmother sold cold cups in fightenville Lafayette, La.

Yes, we’ve always called them cold cups.
Huh Bruh!

@@CharlieTheCookAndrews 😂😂😂😂 And doesn't it just have a ring to it?!
ShonRich21 I was looking in the comments for my Charleston peeps! I’m a child of the 80s, and we used to buy chilly bears from the “candy store” (which was this older lady’s house) for $0.50. Those were some good times!
Charleston 💪🏾 The pineapple chilly bear was my favorite 🤤
We called them “icees” in Maryland, got them from the neighborhood candy lady. Brought me back to my childhood.

The island I grew up on in the Caribbean we call it “special” and use syrup drinks and local fruit juices like tamarind, soursop, etc not kool aid. My favorite one was a milky one don’t know what it was made of though lol
Wow Special. That is interesting. Thanks for sharing! :)
I grew up in New Orleans and we called them huckabucks. Thanks for posting this-I haven’t had one in forty years. Loved spearmint and the sky blue ones. I think the huckabuck lady used to use sno-cone syrup in hers. 👏👍❤️

Thanks for this Charlie, I use to love when the old ladies put the fruit in the bottom. NO was a great place to grow up.
Yesss
You're welcome. Oh yeah some people used to put fruit cocktail at the bottom of the frozen cups. That was really good too. Yes absolutely! :)
CHARLIE!!! You’ve made my day!!! Frozen cups are a childhood staple! You know I was raised in the South so this goes even beyond New Orleans. I think that most black folks who grew up back in the day had these. 😂😂 This is a summer MUST! ❤️❤️
Hey Alethea. I am happy to hear that I made your day! Yes you are right about that. Frozen cups are a childhood staple. Yes it does go beyond New Orleans and the south. People as far as Canada have fond memories of this popular treat. Lets say it's a universal things! We can all agree that this is a summer MUST have treat! :)
In Florida we called 'em, " Honey Drippers".
That is good to hear! :)
In Puerto Rico it was and still part of our childhood. We call them Limbers. We even have tropical versions like passion fruit, coconut and tamarind. My mother made them and now I make them with her recipes.
Awesome Sade. Good to hear that you are still making them. Thanks for sharing!
In Houston we call them cool cups! Ohhhhhh the memories🤎🤎🤎
We called them Popsicle Cups
@Jessica I've heard of the cool cups too! Glad this video brought back memories!
@Latte Popsicle cups??? I guess that's kinda fitting!
I'm from Jacksonville, FL and we call them Honey Drippers! We add fruit too. Now I gotta go to the Honey Dripper Hut and buy some to hold me over until I make my own.
Cool, that is good to hear!! Thanks for sharing!
Honeydripper, with pineapple💕💕💕
@@samantha5199 Alrighty now!
Where is the Honey Dripper Hut located? I'm always in Jax. I lived with my grandma for a while and I remember going to the candy lady house for Honey Drippers. Great memories!!
@@melelov 1665 W 25th St, Jacksonville, FL 32209.... Search Honey Dripper Hut on FB

That's awesome. I'm happy this video brings back memories. I appreciate you for sharing. Thank you!
I grew up in Algiers, off General Meyer. So true about every block having someone that sold candy and cold cups! I used to make them for my kids. I think I need to make some for my grandson!
Awesome Steph! Thanks so much for sharing! If you ever try the recipe, let me know how it turns out.
We used to call those Kool-cups in Houston. Go to this lady's back door. 50 cents a cup!
When I was coming up it was .25 cents for a small one.
Yup that’s how it was in VA too go to the back door 🚪 lol o
Cool cups i like that
Indiegirl007 Several people from Houston tx have said the same name "Kool cups" Some range from 25 to 50 cents. All the ones I purchased was 25 cents.
Indiegirl007 I’m from Houston as well.. 5th Ward.. went to James D Ryan Elem. We would buy them on the way home after school from the candy and cookie lady for $.25 cents across the street from the school.. For another $.25 cents you could get fat man cookies or a pickle with a candy cane in it..
In Florida during the 1970’s, the cups were smaller and were called “Lilly-Dillies”!
jc2007rose I so remember the Lilly Dillies !!😂😂😂
The name definitely stuck. We still call it that where I'm from lol
Yes the cups were much smaller. I was actually looking for the smaller ones but couldn't find them so I worked with whatever I had! Wow quite a few people have mentioned about the Lilly Dillies. I'm getting used to the name now. At first I was confused as to how it got it's name. I guess it's a regional thing because they are so many names.
Period!
Palm Beach, Miami, Lauderdale
Born and raised in NOLA. Huckabuck, iceberg, frozen cups - 10 cents when I was child and 25 cents for my children. Loved lemon and pineapple flavored.
That's awesome. I appreciate you for sharing your story. Thanks my fellow Nola native!
Aye!!😁I remember the good old fun days back in my home town in Houston when my momma used to sell these, except we called them “Cool Cups”. The blue raspberry and cherry were the most popular ones, she would sell pickles, sodas, laffy taffy’s, chocolate candy, and chips.. she had the neighborhood on lock! 😊❤
Wow, that's awesome and good to hear. Thanks so much for sharing your memories of this classic frozen treat!
These would hit the spot with this heat we having down here in SW Texas. Anyhow also I'd pour some vodka or tequila on these bad boys. 😂😋😁
It would really hit the spot in the heat. It really keeps you cool. As far as the vodka and tequila goes, if you add that then this would be more of an adult treat as kids wouldn't be able to eat it at all. lol
@@CharlieTheCookAndrews true😂
Any alcohol at 80 percent or more does not freeze, although it will become thicker, so be careful, they will be more runny!
Yes! Good idea
That's what I'm thinking! I can of crushed pineapple!
Oh my goodness you have brought back my childhood we used to do those when we was growing up and I thought we only did that in North Carolina I didn't know everybody was doing it that is a childhood treat right there thank you for sharing
Yes Monica. Looking at these comments with all the different names and regions. It's definitely a universal thing. Happy that this video brought back memories. You're welcome not a problem.
I thought only folks from Charleston, SC did this. We call them Chilly Bears.
We just called them Slushees in NC, and I lived right across the street from the candy lady house. I use to be over there, every damn day. My Moma use to be like yall making that lady rich 😁😅🤣
Thank you for bringing back childhood memories.
You're welcome, not a problem.
my grandfather is from Mississippi and I remember him making me these all the time from me growing up. he passed before I got the opportunity to ask him how he made his so good. I know it's just cool aid but his was always so good
Cool, Happy that this video brought back memories. Thanks for sharing!
All my time in New Orleans and I’ve never knew how to make a frozen cups!!
That is good to hear! Same here. These were and still one of my favorites!
When I saw this ..I remember my summers growing up in Louisiana...it was so hot these frozen cups was lit.....
I know right. Happy that this video brought back memories. Thanks for sharing your story!
I bought some tropical punch and pink lemonade today! This hot weather made me think about making some. I haven't had a frozen cup in decades. I'm making half with fruit and half without 😋
Awesome that is good to hear! Thanks for sharing!
Took me back to my childhood and yes there was bubblegum and spearmint(my fave). Your whole channel gives me life.
Happy that this video brings back memories. Thanks so much!!
Yasssssss, in my NOLA voice.... BubbleGum was my favorite
Yes that bubble gum blue was soo good. I'm sure that wasn't Kool aid. I also loved Pineapple too!
I'm thinking of how to make space in my freezer for these. I'm going to look for the pineapple flavored kook-aid. My favorite is tropical punch, blue raspberry, or any other flavor mixed with lemonade. You brought back memories with this simple but good hot weather treat. Thanks Charlie
oh yeah these can take up a lot of space in your freezer. The tropical punch is my favorite as well. Glad this video brought back memories. You're welcome not a problem!
In Jamaica we used plastic bags fill it a little less than half and made a knot we called them suck suck or coolings
Girl you betta mix that koolaid with lemonade! I don’t even drink that stuff but I know how to make it good🥴
I LLOOOVE your energy! omg I am so happy I found your page.
I appreciate the compliments! :)
What GREAT MEMORIES for me! I had those as a child while visiting relatives in Mississippi during the 1970's and 1980's. I will have to make some next summer!👏👍❤😁❤
Wow that's cool. Thanks so much for sharing your story! :)
This brings back childhood memories...we use to buy them from a lady for .25 cents
Especially the pineapple and the pineapple chunks on the bottom
Oh yeah them pineapple chunks at the bottom it was sooo good. They even had some with fruit cocktail at the bottom too. Those were good but I love the pineapple ones muchhh more. Glad this video brought back memories.
It's amazing how this simple frozen treat instantly brings back happy childhood memories! Awesome job Charlie for choosing vibrant colors that make the presentation "Pop".
I appreciate the compliments RLS. Happy that this video brought back memories. Oh yeah absolutely. I wanted a colorful presentation as that's how it was growing up. It wasn't just one flavor or color. People had several different flavors and colors and I wanted to present that in this video.
Yes making these today....Thanks Charlie!
You're welcome Dana. Let me know how it turns out. Thanks!
@@CharlieTheCookAndrews My 5 yr old granddaughter loves these and my 19 yr old grandson took some home with him saying am still a kid. :) Thanks Charlie!
U just brought back huge memories for me!!! Raised in Louisiana. Had lots of huckabucks growing up! In Puerto Vallarta now. We love u in MX❤️
Happy to hear that this video brought back memories. Thanks!
I literally think EVERY Black family has made these. I still make them because I have kid's. I also make them in the ice tray.
I was just thinking I lived in Chicago all my life so
I dont think this is state specific 😂
I'm 66yo and my grandmother used to make these and sell them to the neighborhood kids. I make them now when my grand kids come over.
Yeah best summer thing to eat
Florida we made freeze cups.
Kendall xo You are right about that. Oh yeah I remember the good ole ice tray where they would take kool aid and add it in there and freeze it. People were pretty creative back then. They used whatever they had, unlike today's world. Much different than those days.
I'm from Alabama we called them "bebops" as a kid. Great memories Charlie!
Yes, amd I'm also from Alabama.
@Yogi Tee "Bebops"? Now that's different. I wonder how it received that name. Glad this video brought back memories. Thanks!
iloveoldschool It seems that a lot of the names are based off of regions. It has soo many different names. lol
iloveoldschool what part of Alabama are you from, because everywhere that I’ve been in Alabama they were called frozens or frozen cups from the 70’s until now. Bebops must be a new name?
@@msalwaysclassy1 I'm in Birmingham but I was raised in Bessemer. We have called them bebops as long as I can remember and I'm 41.
It was a joy reading of all the different names these things are/were called in different regions. 🙂
That is good to hear. Thanks!
Brings back so many memories
Happy to hear that this video bring back memories. Thanks!
