Elsie Stix were plastic ice cream sticks that were toys after ice cream was eaten. They came out in the early 1970s through Borden, Inc. in the United States

The history of the Elsie Stix appears to have really started in the 1950s with U.S. Patent 2,844,910  a construction kit made out of wooden ice cream sticks by the Southern Ice Cream Company of Kansas City, MO. This patent was extended in 1972 with U.S. Patent 3,663,717  and U.S. Patent 3,748,778 . The new toy design utilized plastic and modified the stick interlocking design.
