What in hot weather is your go-to ice lollie or ice cream?
Posted by Various_Extreme_8773@reddit | AskUK | View on Reddit | 147 comments
Mine, I enjoy the cheap ones from asda or iceland the Rocket lollies. I'm sure other supermarkets sell them aswell.
But my Mrs is a sucker for ben and Jerry's cookie dough.
Ps sorry about my grammar, I needed to amend the title to get my question posted.

Cherry brandy or apple cider lolly from the ice cream van. My son likes the bubblegum one that turns your tongue blue.
DarthScabies@reddit
Calippo.
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?
BigUnderstanding3751@reddit
Cola for me
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.
JimmieSavsscumsock@reddit
Yes.
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
g33k_d4d@reddit
Cider refresher
GoldenSilk6@reddit
Twister
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
Specialist-Crazy8541@reddit
got to be cornetto
Cougarpause@reddit
Solero
Madog-Hellgeese@reddit
Cider Refresher!
Informal-Scientist57@reddit
Fruit pastille or a lime calippo
Good_Solution_@reddit
LIME?
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.
catmadwoman@reddit
Rowntrees mangos.
qwertyytrewq02@reddit
Calippo
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
Maverick81_@reddit
Any good, have you tried them?
oooohshinythingy@reddit
Yeah they’re lovely and less than a quid fifty for a box of 4 or 6
Canadayawaworth@reddit
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

DaughterOfATiredMech@reddit

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

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)

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.

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

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.
Rubostars@reddit
Ice lolly: Melona, all the flavours are so good Ice cream: Haagen-Dazs dulce de leche, rum & raisin, macadamia brittle
DeapVally@reddit
I'll have a feast if they've got them. Or a cornetto. Twister if I'm in more of a lolly mood.
sapphire-sky-dragon@reddit
Calippo...sooo refreshing ice cream cant top ice lollies or slush.
Proud_Ad_8915@reddit
Snickers or rocket lolly
Good_Solution_@reddit
New found affection for snickers (white chocolate)ones and semi melted mars ice cream recently.
Spiritual_Bet3955@reddit
I like Ben & Jerry's cookie dough too!
inkywheels@reddit
When I was a kid it was cider lollies. Now I'm a Magnum guy, but also partial to the watermelon shaped ice lollies (the Aldi ones that are a dupe of the I think Rowntree versions?)
erimoja@reddit
Ice lollies most of the time with occasional sorbet.
trustmeimabuilder@reddit
We've just discovered Intense Coffee Mini Magnums. Six in a box. Absolutely gorgeous.
lost-in-midgard@reddit
Iceland do a cola bottle shaped cola one 👌
Poo_Poo_La_Foo@reddit
I love the ones that I cannot recall the name of. My nibblings love them! They are different colours in chunks all the way up. Cylindrical. Rainbow colours.
BrownSparrow@reddit
Fruit pastel? https://www.nestle.co.uk/en-gb/media/pressreleases/allpressreleases/rowntree%E2%80%99s-launches-ice-lolly-inspired-sweets

gurk6117@reddit

Cornetto style toffee ice creams are incredible. I can't believe I've been having the normal variety for so long before discovering the godly toffee flavour.
Tour-Sure@reddit
Calippo
UKMegaGeek@reddit
Gotta say, the 'juice' at the bottom was always my favourite bit.
Tour-Sure@reddit
So good
aaron2933@reddit
Slush puppy freezy pops

Has to have chocolate. Preferably a mars one though they’ve gone downhill in recent years
InterstellarDwellar@reddit
Feast, although I bought one the other day and they scammed me with the chocolate bit in the middle
Loud-Willingness2814@reddit
I love the Nui pistachio ice creams, only when on offer though. We had some really nice cherry cola lollies recently but I can't remember where from, Aldi or Lidl I think.
