I'm gonna be fair: Exactly how in-our-face has the Popeye cartoon/comic franchise been since the Robin Williams movie? And it has literally been two generations since that came out.
Still a better driver than a lot of actual people -
Popeye is one of those ageless cartoons like The Flintstones or Tom and Jerry; they're prolific enough throughout our culture, that even without having seen a single episode, certain references are almost universally recognized. Popeye and spinach is literally the most recognizable aspect of the whole show, i.e.: had they shown a picture of Popeye, I guarantee she would have gotten it right. I find the humor in that she answered the question with a confidence not befitting her actual consideration of the question answered. She herself even mentions it at the end of the clip.
But like I said, she gets a pass given the circumstances. Had this been a trivia question on a pass/fail test, I could be harsher, but given it was a contest and immediacy the predominate factor, she's allowed a dingbats response. I mean that's kinda where 90% of Family Feud's entertainment comes from.
Y'know, when you questioned it, I looked up pictures of "push pops" on Yahoo.com and while some look nothing like the picture I posted, some do...

I mean, not one that's contained in a toilet paper roll...
It's not a LITERAL toilet paper roll. It's a cardboard tube not UNLIKE a toilet paper roll with a plastic plunger you pushed the sherbet up through as you ate it, hence "Push-Pop." They're delicious!
I would not trust manufacturers to NOT use recycled toilet paper rolls... But seriously, is it like that because it's handmade or something? Our push pops were a lot thinner.
No, they weren't handmade; they were manufactured, and it wouldn't surprise me if the DID source the material from the same source as toilet paper companies. They were cheap, so I imagine it as a financial decision to make them with cheap materials. If they're still around, they may have upped the packaging quality, but I've not had one in years, so couldn't say.
