Certain "Otters" might wear
some funny costumes
on the plastic sleeves of frozen
treats for mass
consumption, but here
at OnoPops we know the story
of Hawaii
can be told with the handmade, tasty
flavors we have in the food all
around us.
Each of our flavors wants you to know
its name and its unique character or
characters,
so keep eating until you get to know
everybody in the Ohana!

New! Check out these latest
characters!
Just the angriest, cutest little
indigenous bird you would ever
want in your fruit tree. And
he's ready to make hassles for
anyone who even mentions
making a cape.
Kula Strawberries and organic
Meyer lemons from Big Island make
this an automatic refresher.
Lil Hayden Mui's mom and the
accountant for P.A. Bean plantation,
Pepper always helps her son with his
homework so he can grow
up and go to college like the kids
from Honapu Academy.
A half cup of backyard habanero in
5 gallons of ripe, organic Oahu
mangoes gives this one a refreshing
creeper burn that you
might even find addictive.
Pepper's sister Honey Girl is a
little less type-A, and a little
bit more of a sweet-hearted tomboy
living down on the
plantation.
She keeps Sonny Boy Freisas
guessing on whether or not he gets
another date with her.
The name of the flavor is the
list of ingredients -- nothing but
those three things go into this
rich, pure OnoPop.
Exquisite.
Moka Annisette came to the
islands from the San Francisco
chocolate factory many moons ago
to check out
where his cousins grew up in
Wailua. He likes to hang out
with Lemonfruit Stargrass and
contemplate the
constellations.
Like a frozen chocolate truffle
on a stick, this is an excellent
expression of the outstanding
quality of Wailua Estates
chocolate.
Our first OnoPops villain!
Desiree Lilikoi's uncle Dr.Orchid
was experimenting with the essence
of passion fruit,
stumbling on the secret formula
that turns him into
Mr.Passion! He stalks Hotel
Street at night making
mayhem!
Vanilla ice cream hand-dipped
into lilikoi sherbert, and that's
just as mouth-wateringly ono as it
sounds.
Just the sweetest little immature
guy you’d ever like to meet. Lil’ Hayden Mui gets good grades at
Plantation School and
loves Math League. Now if he could only stay out of
trouble with the Melon twins, he
wouldn’t be grounded so much. His mom Pepper Pitt
doesn’t want Lil’ Hayden to turn out
like his dad, her ex-husband
“Paps” Mui.
If you like pickled green mango, you
will LOVE this. If you no like,
you maybe should skip it. We let
the pickled O'ahu mangoes set up
and pickle nicely before we made
pops out of them.
And now, your OnoPops favorites and
their flavor personalities!
Water Based Flavors:
Paps is just an aging plantation
rapscallion, farmer and local boy never
meaning no harm, been in trouble with
the law since
the day he was born.
Made by combining the ripest fresh
organic white pineapples from Maui, so
sweet and very low acid, with our
special homemade blend of
Li Hing Mui powder to create a
sweet tangy treat you can't
resist.
Ladies and Gentlemen I give you
-- The Poggs!!!! Loco the Lilikoi, Oggie the Orange
and Gary the
Guava,
three fruits from different
walks of life who got together
to form a rock band and try to
change the world.
A layered treat of Oahu lilikoi, Big
Island guava, and organic Kona oranges
that will sing in your mouth.
This retired British naval orange
is old enough to remember why the
Union Jack is on the Hawaii State
Flag.
Admiral Raj spent several campaigns
in India, developing a taste for the
spicier side of
life.
Good chums with Captain Hayden,
naturally.
Organic Kona oranges swirled with a
syrup of organic Big Island cinnamon,
the naval orange and Indian spice, so
nice.

Flavor: Honeydew-Mint
● Character: Dewey Melon
Here’s a local haole rascal who goes to
the Plantation School with Lil Hayden
Mui -- and he is the twin brother to
Kooky Melon,
the biggest troublemakin’ little wahine
on the island. He
stays frosty even when he gets in
trouble and might get lickin’s.
Perfectly refreshing on a hot Hawaiian
day, the cool, ultra-fresh mint taste
from Mohala Farms and the sweet,
fleshy honeydew's from
Aloun farms in Wahiawa -- can't beat this flavor for
staying two degrees cooler than everyone
around you.
This wrinkled old pickled plum is one
wise, bespectacled Japanese detective,
operating with his tough Thai cop
sidekick, Basil,
who speaks with a Hong Kong-Brit
accent. They have arrived at the
plantation to investigate the evil of
Dr. Rambutan.
Made with all natural ume made in
the Japanese Alps. No msg or additives, only
the purest, intense salted sour plum
sweetened
with our thai basil infused local cane juice.
● Flavor: Kalamansi-Coriander
● Character: Cory Adobo
This wise Filipina has organized the
workers on the Bean Plantation into Farm
Worker’s Local #808. A humble housewife before
being
thrust into politics, she knows how
hard the common fruit has to work to get
by. Her tart wit and homespun speeches have
made her a hero
to working class fruit
everywhere.
● Flavor:
Papaya-Rangpur-Lime
● Character: Miss Jamaica Bean
Spoiled heiress of the Bean Plantation,
P.A. Bean’s daughter spends most of her
time lounging on the veranda enjoying a
cool beverage.
She secretly wishes she could run away
with “Paps” Mui, but knows her
daddy would never let her marry beneath
her station.
Sweet, floral with a hint of sourness for
balance. The complex sour and
mandarin flavors of the Kona Rangpurs give
structure to the lush ripe
papaya, with Pure Hawaiian Vanilla on the
finish. You'll feel like a princess
nibbling on this one.
Milk Based Flavors:
Miguel brought his coffee farming talents
to the islands, along with his trusted
donkey Pepe, from the South
American coffee
plantations
many years ago. He tries to stay
out of the trouble “Paps” Mui
and Sonny Boy “Goats” Friesas
are always getting him into.
Strong brewed organic Kona coffee blended
with island cream and pure Hawaiian
vanilla to create a rich, high-test latte
on a stick.
It gives you the get up and go you need
to ride your donkey up the mountain!
Auntie Abbie Pi, the Chinese-Hawaiian
matriarch who raised “Paps”
Mui as an orphan, lives in an old house
way up on the stream
in the back of the valley. They say
when she was a young girl, she was the
banana blossom blooming in the heart of
almost every
young man on the island.
This is a beloved family pie recipe of
our mom, Jenny, adapted here for the
paleta. Ripe apple bananas are
carmelized into a
banana pudding, blended with rich, mild
Naked Cow Dairy Wainae cream cheese and
island milk, then swirled with an
organic
coconut and graham cracker struesel.
It's the Hawaiian pie classic,
frozen on a stick! For reals!
Sonny Boy "Goats" Freisas is
just an upcountry boy, a local hunk easy
on the eyes for the ladies. He and
"Paps" Mui are
always up to some mischief on the
Plantation.
An all Maui flavor, we've swirled ripe
Kula strawberries into Island Fresh milk
and cream, and spiked it with the
excellent
goat cheese from the good goatherds at
Surfing Goat Dairy.
Charlene used to work as a showgirl with
Desiree Lilikoi, but she’s too old for all
that now, and works these days with Sweety
Kikkoman at the
saimin shop on the Plantation. Her hopes and dreams for
fame fall on the shoulders of her son
Gary, as he plans to take the world by
storm
with his rock band The Poggs!
Pure Big Island Guava, cooked into a
tangy pudding, and folded into rich and
fluffy whipped island cream. A
classic of the old Hawaiian
diner,
this is for anyone who misses the old
King's Bakery as much as we do.
● Flavor: Caramel-Shoyu
● Character: “Sweety” Kikkoman
Waitressing at the saimin shop on the
Plantation, she forgives Lil Hayden and
his friends when they don’t tip on their
manapua’s after school.
“Sweety” has a heart of gold
and will find love someday. Until then, she stays a little bit
salty.
A local version of fancy French salted
caramel, you have got to try this one to
believe how ono it is.
