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.
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 😂
That shape... it has to be R.Whites, right?
- @Pyroglyph Excellent lolly identification skills! It was indeed.
Bomb pop is king
- Bomb pop beer is a thing and I bought some red white and blue energy drink that tastes like bomb pop, too.
- @KeefChief13 Wtf is a bomb pop
  
  Red white and blue popsicle

Edit. Thanks, I couldn't work out to make my c searchable
- 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
As a kid we had sticks and cups that made them. I tried milk to many times and every time it was bad
- Reminds me of when I tried to make fizzy milk in the Sodastream. Do not do this.
Not a mint feast though, is it?

I miss mint feast...
- @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 💤
  
  You heretic! That's the best bit!
If Japan has taught me anything, you may want to check the ingredients list on that before consuming.
hard agree, i'm suffering from the after effects of a flu jab right now and a lemonade lolly sounds heavenly.
- @Duchess Does that thing people do when they send *internet hugs* also work with lollies? Let's see.
  
  *internet lemonade lolly*
  
  It's much appreciated lol
No lollygagging!
Nah Mr wippy with a 99p flake is banging
