(Actually, it may be that I don't *want* to know because I think it's some sort of tall, cold desert I'm not allowed to eat.)
Everyone (for at least 3 generations back, from me) in both sides of my family have called them 'iced tea spoons'.
(But we've used them for everything else listed, plus rootbeer floats, olives, cherries, etc, and even scooping out the last of the peanut butter. )
