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

How do you stop the Popsicles from melting in the impossible test summer?
Try placing the Popsicles in the freezer for a few minutes before taking the Impossible Test Summer level. This can help slow down the melting process. Additionally, try to solve the level quickly and efficiently to minimize the time the Popsicles are out in the heat.
Can popsicles get freezer burn?
Yes, popsicles can get freezer burn if they are not properly sealed or stored in the freezer for a long time.
Do snowmen melt in rain?
Yes, snowmen can melt in rain since raindrops can warm up the surface of the snowman, causing it to melt. The rainwater can also saturate the snow, making it wet and more prone to melting.
Does sugar affect how fast liquids melt?
In general, sugar does not affect the rate at which liquids melt. However, adding sugar to water, for example, can slightly lower the freezing point of the liquid, making it freeze at a slightly lower temperature.
