Buttermilk is what's leftover after churning the cream to make 
butter.  It can also be "made" with additives/bacteria to sweet 
milk.  Personally, I find buttermilk disgusting, although my dad has 
been known to drink it.  Mostly, though, people use it to cook with--
buttermilk pancakes, cornbread, etc.

As for "buttermilk pop" I have *no* idea!

As someone from Kentucky, I think buttermilk is utterly vile.  Truth be
told, I've never tasted any, but it looks so horrible that I can't even
imagine putting it in my system!  My dad used to drink it, too, but bleh!  
 
As for buttermilk pop... I have no idea either and I was born and raised in
KY as was my dad and my mom grew up there.  It's probably one of those
stereotypical Kentucky things.  There are tons of 'em.  I live in Seattle
now, and I don't have an accent and people always are amazed that I come
from Kentucky.  It's right after the 'do you wear shoes' question. :)
