Re. the meaning of "Hyouka."
I wasn't familiar with the word. (My Japanese isn't very good.) I looked at the Japanese-language wikipedia site, and apparently, it's the name given to frozen sweets of all kinds, both traditionally Japanese & western, but usually non-dairy ones, like shaved ice or sorbet. Popsicles are part of this group as well.
Edit: I think a good translation is "Ice Candy." After all, the kanji are 氷 (hyou, meaning "ice") and 菓 (ka, meaning fruit or candy.)
