Depends on the size and the truck. The ones when I was a kid had the big 'uns. I don’t know what size you’re getting when it’s 20 for $4 but I imagine it’s one of the smaller ones. The flavor is the same though.
It doesn’t matter to me, though. The orange sherbet Flintstones push ups were superior in every way.
If your favorite ice cream isn’t a screw ball (with gum on the bottom) then you are wrong. 2nd place is one of the cartoon character heads with gumballs for eyes.
I can respect that, but we were poor as fuck and those cost more than the humble push pop, especially from the ice cream truck. So the push pop beat them out by being the tastiest I could afford to get more than one of and I never really tried those.
I did try the bomb pop because they were dirt cheap at the 4th of July celebrations but they never did it for me the way the push pops did.
I’m in my 40s, so you’re not aging yourself too badly. I could get a couple of push pops for a buck. Anything else decent would cost more than a buck for two.
Actually stinks we don’t have an ice cream truck in my area. Only thing we get is nasty sno-cones that have decade old syrup or Hawaiian frozen ice that’s like $5.
I just meant the popsicle brand bomb pops you can find at the grocery store. Because selling one of those for $5 would be price gouging children. Which is uncool.

I’m going to be aging myself but I haven’t bought something from an ice cream truck since before 9/11.
I almost remember prices being either 1.25 and 2.50 depends how fancy the treat was.

Ditto on the age. Kinda funny.

I want a screw ball damn it.
If you’re not getting the one that vaguely looks like sonic the hedgehog we can’t be friends.
I’m on team Michelangelo.

Push-pops are impossible to find these days. At least the ones we had as kids…with the stick in the middle.
I did manage to find them at one local chain supermarket (Wegmans), but they were store brand, not Flintstones.

They stopped making the big ones about a decade back. The ones sold by the truck should still be larger, but not by as much as they used to be.
They also went up in price a lot. Firecrackers used to cost ~$0.29 wholesale but they raised it to ~$0.55 when they shrunk them.
They did WHAT!?! First they took the Flintstones off the push pops and now this.
