Abstract: The invention relates to an article for absorbing drips while consuming a frozen treat, and more particularly a device which can be axially received on an end of a stick and slid upwardly adjacent to a lower end of a frozen portion of the treat. In the preferred embodiment, the drip-absorbing article comprises a first absorbent member which encloses a second absorbent member. As drips fall from the frozen treat, the absorbent members absorb the drips and prevent contact with a user's hands and/or clothing. Additionally, as the frozen treat is consumed by the consumer, the article can be used to push the remaining portion of the frozen treat upwardly so that the consumer does not have to insert the stick handle into her mouth, which can be dangerous to children, nor eat the frozen treat from the sides, which generally results in the frozen treat falling off its stick.
