Popsicles are a confection made primarily of water, some sugar and food colouring. They melt as they absorb ambient heat and reach a temperature of about 0o C. Due to their shape they have a high surface to volume ratio allowing the rapid influx of heat (Q=UA(T1-T2))

Like most frozen articles the main melting occurs when all of the mass aproaches the melting point.

Aside: In Alaska, Canada, Siberia and other locations with property north of 60o, popsicles may be stored outside on the back deck for up to 8 months of the year with no fear of melting

Popsicles melt quickly because they are frozen treats with a low melting point. When exposed to heat, such as warm temperatures or room temperature, the solid ice in the popsicle quickly turns into liquid water, causing it to melt rapidly.

which popsicle brand melts the fastest?

Darker popsicles melt faster than lighter colored ones. The amount and type of sweetener in ice cream can also affect how quickly it melts. Sweeteners lower the freezing point of the ice cream mix, which causes it to melt faster.
