What in hot weather is your go-to ice lollie or ice cream?

[-]

BigUnderstanding3751@reddit

Cherry brandy or apple cider lolly from the ice cream van. My son likes the bubblegum one that turns your tongue blue.

[-]

QuestNetworkFish@reddit

Got to wait till it gets a bit slushy though, but then it's god tier

[-]

DarthScabies@reddit

Definitely. What's your favourite flavour?

[-]

QuestNetworkFish@reddit

Orange. Anything else is blasphemy and has no place in my life

[-]

DarthScabies@reddit

Lol. Fair enough. The strawberry one is quite pleasant.

[-]

Ninjataye@reddit

I pull it out and turn it upside down then pop it back in as the bottom end is really saturated with flavouring and it's also softer. Had a lime one from Lidl yesterday and it was beautiful

[-]

lulukeab@reddit

Nobbly bobbly or if wanting something more refreshing, fab.

[-]

Hightimetoclimb@reddit

We spend the summer with nearly constant supply of fabs in the freezer

[-]

Electronic-Bus-5350@reddit

Ben and Jerry's dulce delish or a whipped vanilla cone covered in raspberry sauce off the ice cream van. It used to be a double nugget before they were discontinued. I'm still heartbroken about that

[-]

Informal-Scientist57@reddit

Fruit pastille or a lime calippo yeah I prefer it to the orange one

[-]

RaidersGuy85@reddit

AMT Coffee used to do an amazing coconut ice cream. Haven't been to one in a while to know if they still do it though.

[-]

Fantastic-Pear6241@reddit

Used to be Twister till my Crohn's meant I couldn't have anything with lactose anymore.

Now I'll take whatever vegan ice-cream I can get.

The fruit lollies are always good.

[-]

Maverick81_@reddit

Does anyone else remember the original Twisters in the 80s; they were apple and pear ice??? Then they changed it to the ice cream version

[-]

oooohshinythingy@reddit

I think aldi have them, it’s all ice lolly including the twists

[-]

oooohshinythingy@reddit

Yeah they’re lovely and less than a quid fifty for a box of 4 or 6

[-]

I have a really distinct memory of a sour apple flavoured ice lolly shaped like darth Vader’s head that I ate as a kid in the 90s but I’ve never found anyone who tried it, I’m starting to think i must’ve imagined it! Sucks constantly hankering for something you can’t have!

[-]

Nameisnotmine@reddit

I remember this.

[-]

everybodyctfd@reddit

They recently updated the Twisters to include dairy which is honestly so annoying for someone who is lactose intolerent.

[-]

palebluedot365@reddit

I do. But I actually prefer the new ones.

[-]

dead_pillow@reddit

Lime Calippo.

[-]

Und3adShr3d@reddit

Does nobody remember Zap lollies? Morrisons do a very good copy called ‘Rainbow lollies’

[-]

UberMcWolf@reddit

Solero

[-]

DaughterOfATiredMech@reddit

X2 and only the original

[-]

rocketscientology@reddit

They can’t hold a candle to the original but I am quite partial to the strawberry ones

[-]

shaf74@reddit

The only answer

[-]

Cary14@reddit

100% white magnum as a second

[-]

tmr89@reddit

[-]

Automatic-Pie-111@reddit

The best

[-]

fistmcbeefpunch@reddit

Perfection

[-]

Effective-Stretch951@reddit

All of them

[-]

BrownSparrow@reddit

Twister every time

[-]

anabsentfriend@reddit

Twisters used to be my thing. But they've changed the recioe this year and have started adding milk, so I can't have them any more. boo

[-]

BrownSparrow@reddit

Oh no I'm sorry that's terrible! I've just looked and it seems the Aldi fake ones are milky too

[-]

Phoenyx_wilson@reddit

I like the mini double caramel magnums, I like Ben and Jerry's phish food, caramel core one and brownie one. I have just been enjoying the slyshies from homebargains which are really nice in peach flavour.

[-]

jonathananeurysm@reddit

Barrat's Banana. You can get them in Iceland and they taste like the old foam banana sweets. They do cola bottle ones too.

[-]

fergie_89@reddit

The weird jubaloo blue raspberry ice triangles. Taste like I can feel flavours. Absolute crack lolly.

[-]

TheRealJustSean@reddit

R whites

[-]

Illustrious-Still132@reddit

Mars ice cream if I’m at home. White chocolate magnum if I’m out

[-]

keepinleeds@reddit

Fancy! Nice chocolate choices

[-]

sir-diesalot@reddit

M&S pineapple, coconut and lime ice lollies, tropical fruit juice on a stick.

[-]

Brilliantspirit33@reddit

Callipo or Solero

[-]

Capable_Tip7815@reddit

Nuii ice cream lollies.

An ice pole after a run.

My brother's village does a traditional Italian milk ice cream.

[-]

MegaNumberFourteen@reddit

Del Monte orange ice lollies!

[-]

Adorable_Click_7071@reddit

The watermelon one from rowntree hehe

[-]

walkthelands@reddit

Fruit Pastel lolly (but see my comment in related thread yesterday) or Calippo

[-]

iWasDISSOCIATING@reddit

Jimmy's iced coffee. It's like 82 kcal but creamy like an "actual" ice cream. Confused, but happy.

[-]

Loud-Willingness2814@reddit

These sound nice!

[-]

iWasDISSOCIATING@reddit

I'd definitely try them, mate. A bit spendy usually but I think I got them half off a while back from Ocado. Didn't feel quite so bad then lol

[-]

random_username_96@reddit

Ice lollie if I'm just thirsty, ice cream if I want more of a snack.

[-]

Another_Random_Chap@reddit

Strawberry Cornetto

[-]

vbloke@reddit

This is awesome

[-]

Personal-Visual-3283@reddit

I love a cider lolly - like the ones you got from the icecream van in the 90’s - but they are few and far between these days… so lemon sorbet. Love anything lemon in the heat

[-]

Various_Extreme_8773@reddit (OP)

Yeah loved them ciders lollies.

We used to pretend we was drunk after having one .lol.

[-]

AnneThisaway@reddit

Twisters

[-]

OverTheCandlestik@reddit

Rum raisin

[-]

Various_Extreme_8773@reddit (OP)

That was my mums favourite.

[-]

CaptainYorkie1@reddit

If I'm near by one of the vans it's Yorkshire Dales Ice Cream, one scoop Double Chocolate and one scoop raspberry.

[-]

pixie1947@reddit

All of them, but if you had a gun to my head, I'd go with a Fab

[-]

CodAdministrative765@reddit

Fruit Pastilles lolly, strictly one colour at a time.

[-]

Gfunksoul86@reddit

Cherry brandy

[-]

musicallymotivated93@reddit

The own brand mint Magnums from Lidl

[-]

magentas33@reddit

Rowntree Mango.

[-]

kalendral_42@reddit

Morrisons mint choc chip cone or magnum double gold caramel billionaire

[-]

sihasihasi@reddit

Lidl mini "magnum" are ace

[-]

cowboysted@reddit

I believe people outside of Ireland have not had the pleasure of a Joker, it tastes like a fanta ice cream float.

[-]

Rizzomorph666@reddit

Almod Chocolate Icecream from Lidl. It's just unbeatable in terms of quality and price. Second best would be pink Magnum with cherry filling.

[-]

diamonds_and_rose_bh@reddit

Lidl have just started doing a knock off of the magnum cherry ice cream, its just as good!

[-]

mythtixx@reddit

Fab is my go to. Used to feast but they're like cardboard now

[-]

Remarkable_Cut6521@reddit

White chocolate magnum all the way

[-]

Latte-Addict@reddit

White chocolate anything all the way :)

[-]

Remarkable_Cut6521@reddit

Agreed!

[-]

Clear_Raisin@reddit

twister for me

[-]

ukteaboyuk@reddit

Neither. Cup of tea!

[-]

Delilahpixierose21@reddit

Cider lollies.

[-]

excitedbynaps@reddit

Zap!

[-]

Owl-In-The-Sky@reddit

Usually a rocket or fruit pastille lolly, they’re a nice safe option, always refreshing.

If I wanted to splash out or had a shit day, Ben and Jerry’s blondie brownie core used to be the absolute best, but I think they’ve been discontinued.

[-]

Rubberfootman@reddit

Strawberry Mivvy.
