    i prolly like callipo the best.

    but i used to adore solero

    might have the gf go look for one if its hot again, but was never super keen of ice creams and stuff, my teeth are pretty soft.

    also i do like the frozen yoghurt. mmmm creamy.

    i used to like feast when i was a kid, but once i got older i started liking the adult magnum version better. but reall yi was only eating it to get to the chocolate.

    there was a good line in psychoville

    "I told you not to get a magnum, you could have got twenty ice pops for that!'

    My son (3 and a half years old) loves FABs so I've been pinching the odd one here and there...

    Yeah, feasts are my #1 too!

    When I was little I used to like the ice rocket lollies, occasionally have one nowadays purely for nostalgia purposes.

    Anyone remember Mr T ice lollies? They were cola flavoured lollies in the shape of Mr T? Can't find a pic anywhere. My mates swear they're just a figment of my imagination...

    I remember things like fat frog and them icepops that were just ice flavoured.. the long ones / fat ones.

    I normally get things like cornetto but own brand, BUT prefer the iceland ones (strawberry) more than the tesco / asda etc ones . thats what I used as a ciggy replacement when I gave up. (they were a bugger to light :p )

    I used to buy from the ice cream van as a kid, cider / apple lollies.. and them oyster ones.. BUT as I've got older realise some folk don't wash their hands after going loo.. so won't buy from an ice cream van..lol

    I don't care too much for ice cream of any sort, makes me thirsty.

    I'm quite fond of thhose Twisters that were mentioned earlier and I love Lemon Ice lollies or just plain orange ones.

    As a kid, I loved Dracula lollies. I've tried before to find a picture of one online, but have always failed. The closest I can find is this...

    But that's not the one I used to get as it says it's red and black. The ones I used to like were made in the shape of Dracula and were a pure red, raspberry flavour. They won't make those any more :(

    I also quite liked these too...

    Jubblies were the mainstay when I was a kid, and those ice cream things in a plastic cone that had a ball of gum at the bottom, Screwball.

    As a young child I was never allowed chewing gum. Either my parents were worried about me choking or, more likely, they didn't want me to get it on the settee. So a Screwball was a way of me getting it without them knowing. Mmm, forbidden gum... :D

    @ everyone, cos' I can't arsed to quote 55 people :D

    Tangle twisters are crap and replaced the superior Tongue Twister.

    I'm glad somebody else remembers the Count Dracula lollies.

    Funny Feet were awesome replaced by Freaky Feet which were gruesome, because they had fruit puree which still had seeds in it, swirled in with vanilla ice cream and why oh why was just the big toe covered in chocolate :???:

    Calippo's were good in juicey form but I remember them going creamy at one point? Not good!

    Fabs used to be one of my faves, but they're just not the same now, I think the chocolate under the sprinkles is cheap and nasty now or something?

    Oh Beanz you can still get Jubblies, and also the delicious but somewhat inferior Sun Lollies. I think you can still get screwballs as well....Oh the sheer amount of times I almost choked on the rock hard bubble gum :lol:

    ....and here's mine

    Twango's were awesome, replaced by Pizazz which were alright because they tasted the same.

    Possibly my fave none creamy ice lolly is the Cider Refresher or a Lemon Sparkle (The strawberry sparkle was good but it changed, it was sickly).

    My fave hybrid has to be the Strawberry Mivvi :D
    Every night is curry night!

    ... I liked the hundreds and thousands on them :)


    Edit:

    I remember buying another type of lolly as a kid from the ice cream van which includes these free tattoo transfers. I think you had to soak them in water or something before you stuck them on your arm. Anyone know what lolly you got them with?
  • edited July 2011
    Calippo's are the best, and there's always a routine to eating them for me. Buy, leave for about 10 minutes to soften up a little, start to munch and by the time you get to the last inch or 2, it's quite slushy with a concentration of the orange flavour. Yum!

    If a Calippo isn't available, the fruit pastille lollies are also very nice too, or a Fab.

    the screwball with the bubblegum, I used to fantasise about those when I was about 6. I cant even remember if I ever got to have one or not, just remember wanting one

    bit of false advertising there?

    "crunchy hundreds & thousands stay absolutely still over cool stripes of strawberry and vanilla ice cream" would be closer to the truth surely, but I'm guessing
