I am wondering, could you lose weight by consuming ice cold popsicles. Now considering you r using energy to melt the ice, and your body actually heats the cold water to your body temperature.... all that takes up heat and you may in fact be burning calories.
If this is possible, perhaps it is one of the easiest and fun ways of losing weight. Let us say that you could lose 100 calaries by eating one ice lolly, so if you consume say 10 a day, you will end up losing a 1000 calories! My my, you don't even have to work out!
This is just a silly theory of mine. Perhaps we have a dietician and a physist here who can help us with the calculation.
Q. How much joules/energy/calories will you burn to melt one ice lolly weighing approx 100 grams?
Q How ,any calories will u gain from the sugar they add?
Q. Should all fat people eat of ice lollies?
Q. Should we go on a ice lolly craze?
Q. Should I do a PhD on this?

Sorry, you don't burn that many calories heating up cold liquids. Here's an interesting article on the thermic effect of calories:
http://science.howstuffworks.com/question447.htm
If you ate your popsicle, I suspect you'd burn about 5 - 10 additional calories (if that). A popiscle probably has about 40 - 100 calories. So you'd become overweight if that's all you ate.
The benefits of eating / drinking cold items is largely over emphasized. It's a nice benefit, but don't expect to drop major pounds as a result.

So many answers... dude you're very young. Don't say that "I am a student so I don't get time for anything". You have all the time. Eat whatever you want to. Just go outside in evening and play some outdoor games. Specially Football, Badminton, Cricket etc etc. Play as much as you can. Play football daily for an hour or two and you'll see the changes.

The calories dont balance out. if you want to eat ice, youd have a net negative effect. But its really not a good idea for your long term health to lower your core temperature.
