Ice Lollies

[Eddie]

Yes this is a poll and yes it is limited to pops of yore (from your childhood). 4 choices maximum.

 

[jyxz]

Lolly ice!

 

[Eddie]

Not northern

 

[jyxz]

Well some of us are!

 

[Madison]

Calypso or Calippo?

 

[Eddie]

Humour me.

 

[Eddie]

Calypso or Calippo?

Oh bloody hell. Were they different? I probably meant Calippo now come to think of it.

Can someone please edit?

 

[Sheena]

PROPER OLD SKOOL NEWSAGENT MR FREEZES- AND THAT ACTUAL BRAND

(Not the shit ones you get in supermarket freeze yourself boxes

 

[Sheena]

Though I do love a Twister

 

[straightorbroken]

Rowntree Fruit Pastles are my go-to, but any cheap ones will do for the function of something cold as I like to just plough through them.

Lime Calippo are divine. Big ones over the mini ones.

Anything citrus works. Lemon Sparkles yes please.

I generally don't eat ice cream at all, but Twisters are amazing.

I also like sorbet things, but dislike chocolate being added to them. There's some kiwi thing I used to see - I tolerated the chocolate pips, but it was a clash.

Sun Lolly - not had one in ages, but now I'm going to hunt them down or an equivalent if they're off the market.

Yeah and I meant Mr Freezes instead of the Chupa Chups too.

Oh dear this is not going well

 

[Eddie]

I wish they did a pop version of just the pineapple ice-cream found on a Twister. I always found that to be the best part as a kid - I'd often lick it out first

 

[Eddie]

Also not a lolly but blue raspberry Slush Puppy please and thank you

 

[disneyteletubby]

I haven't had one for ages but Fab lollies are my favourite. I like the various fruit juice ones in general (mango, orange). At the ice-cream van after primary school, if not the single 99 flake, I often went for Mr Bubble (that blue lolly ) or a cherry flavoured one.

Most recently I had one of those Nuii ice-cream lollies (Australian macadamia nut and salted caramel) and I prefer it to Magnum for sure.

 

[Agneeta]

I'm only about Aldi gelato at the moment.

But if I'm out and about a Magnum is my go-to.

 

[Agneeta]

Fab's are fine but I'm only interested in off brand ones that are sprinkles only.

 

[Agneeta]

I have never heard the term lolly ice. Fucking stupid.

 

[Eddie]

The white part of a Fab never made sense to me.

 

[hyperwoof]

Calypso or Calippo?

Very different

Turns out I'm not the only one:

Yeah - if Solaro’s can get in the list then Fruit Pastles should also. I have some in the freezer right now - they are terrific

I’d add Ice Pops. Super duper cheap, basically solid ice with a little flavour, had a lot of those as a kid.

Yeah as Sheena mentioned I specifically remembered the Mr Freezes brand but couldn't recall the name.

Don’t taint the whole of the north with this silliness.

In fairness I think I did that. In my defence I recall having this argument with someone (from I think it was Scunthorpe) at university EONS ago.

 

[Eddie]

Brown on the outside, white on the inside? You might have me read. @Star

 

[jyxz]

lolly gobble choc bomb

We are not accepting Lincolnshire.

Feasts are amazing.

Anyone selling the knock off versions (Festivals) instantly get refused my trade.

 

[Indie]

Just a simple strawberry split is my cheap icelolly of choice.

 

[Eddie]

Oh I forgot about Splits too. Polls are my failing, evidently

I bought some feasts from tesco the other day but when we went to eat them they had all melted somewhere along the way and were all mush. Fuming

I used to have lots of these ice pops too

For the first time a few days ago on the news (BBC I think) I heard them called ice poles.

Ice poles is what we call them up here. At least that’s what I’ve always known them as. @ZenGiraffe?

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Yeah they're ice poles, and I thought that was what they were called everywhere

 

[disneyteletubby]

Haha I was reading some Reddit thread about it and that seemed to be the consensus amongst Scots

 

[Indie]

Kinda surprised you don't call them ice juice
