In most browsers the shorter and more specific variant of the code will run faster (in some instances much faster) than the second variant and so it makes sense to use the shorter and more specific version. It also makes the code easier to read and maintain.
In the United States and Canada frozen ice on a stick is generically referred to as a popsicle due to the early popularity of the Popsicle brand, and the word has become a genericized trademark to mean any ice pop or freezer pop, regardless of brand or format.
How long do popsicles last? Popsicles last for 6-8 months in the freezer if kept at a constant temperature. The shelf life of popsicles depends on a variety of factors, such as the best by date, the preparation method and how they were stored. Popsicles are typically made of sugar, water and flavorings.
