In the ever-growing pantheon of fancy iced treats, I believe the humble lemonade lolly is still the superior choice.

And if you’re turning your nose up at this right now, I encourage you to give it a go. Most refreshing, tastes like childhood.

    It is good. But I think for the perfect combo of refreshing/tasty you can’t go wrong with the equally humble orange juice lolly.

      @leraje Hmm, personally I find the orange ones tend to wear out their welcome by the end.

      But I respect your take on this important matter.

        They do, but I find that (after constant experimentation when the kids were young) home made lollies made with 50% fresh OJ and 50% water are perfect.

          @leraje Well that puts the cat among the pigeons, introducing *homemade* lollies into the mix. I guess we would need to test homemade lemonade ones too to be sure.

          …brb ordering a lolly mould.

    I tend to disagree. The lemonade lolly is very good, but the rocket lolly is the definite winner in this race.

      As much as I respect your right to this opinion, I wholeheartedly disagree. I do not need multiple flavours confusing my palette. Lemonade all the way.

      @LunarLoony Ehhh, they’re ok I guess but the pineapple part stings my tongue, gotta dock points for that.

    @teahands @ukcasual you like vanilla ice cream, and lemonade lollies? It’s like nobody ever told you that chocolate was a thing 🤔

      @dev_ric @ukcasual I like chocolate the way god intended! As chocolate. Or cake. Preferably both at the same time.

      Clearly my tastes in cold treats are just a little classier than your own. No shame in it, I won’t judge.

        @teahands @ukcasual see, for me, nothing beats that crunch of frozen chocolate. The best bit about a magnum is the crunchy layer it’s wrapped up in 😁

        Classy though? Pfft. I’m basically a starving Alsatian when it comes to treats. They skim over the taste buds at an astonishing speed 😂

      @vext01 Those were my favourite when I was a kid, except I’d always forget that only the outside bit is nice and then you get to that tedious solid choc in the middle 💤

      Reminds me of when I tried to make fizzy milk in the Sodastream. Do not do this.

      Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !okmatewanker@feddit.uk

    That shape… it has to be R.Whites, right?

    hard agree, i’m suffering from the after effects of a flu jab right now and a lemonade lolly sounds heavenly.
