With the summer weather out, there's nothing more refreshing than a cool lolly or ice-creamโ€ฆ

I still love a zap but they're not so easy to come by now. I quite like a feast too if I'm feeling like chocolate.

What about you? Do you like a classic Mr Whippy with a flake? Or perhaps something more fruity like a calippo?

    Mint choc Cornetto for me, or a Big Feast (remember those?)

    Ooooo no @SheffieldMan1976! Please tell me they still sell them?!

    Probably not, I've not seen them for years.

    Love mint ice cream @SheffieldMan1976, great choice!

    The watermelon lollies from Rowntrees are my favourite, they taste a mix between sorbet and ice cream๐Ÿ˜Š

    It would have to be a feast or a classic '99 with a flake. I feel like we don't see / hear ice cream vans much anymore.

    When's the last time anyone saw one?

    Feats seem to be a big hit so far!

    I haven't heard one around here for a while @Rachel_Scope. There were plenty at the seaside over the weekend though.

    @Mary_Scope I don't think I've tried one of those yet but love watermelon. Had a solero the other day and I'd forgotten just how much the outside of that's like sorbet. Was so refreshing.

    Gotta be:

    1. Mr Whippy (no flake!)
    2. R Whites Lemonade lolly
    3. Calippo Shots

    Preferably at the same time if possible!

    Speaking of ice creams they don't sell anymore, did anyone ever have Cool Bits?

    Soleros are my go-to if I fancy something fruity, but I also love a Gold Billionaire Magnum. So good! You can't go wrong with a Mr Whippy or a Screwball either.

    Reading this post reminded me that I used to love the Walls Funny Feet ice creams. Don't know what that says about me as a child ๐Ÿ˜‚

    They looked like this:

    Apparently they sell an updated version of them in Iceland if anyone else wants to relive that slightly strange period of ice-cream history!

    I like a magnum too but they're so expensive it's definitely a fancy treat. Quite like the cheap knock off supermarket ones too, to be fair. Have you had any of the funky flavours?

    I remember these! Not sure how I feel about a grown adult eating a foot lolly. Especially if there's eye contact ๐Ÿ˜‚

    I think it's probably a bit weird no matter what age you are @Holly_Scope ๐Ÿ˜‚

    It's an ice cream Lolly ya nutter, not an actual foot! ๐Ÿคฃ

    My favourite flavours of ice cream are toffee, mint and caramel :)

    Ooh a mint feast! That's brought back some good memories @Amberpearl. I read something quite sad though. They replaced the solid chocolate in the middle to a gooey centre ๐Ÿ˜ซ

    Does anyone like the classic Mini Milks?

    Mr Whippy is my go to ice cream, sometimes a 99. Hear the jingle of an ice cream van that comes around every day between 3 - 4pm. I've never bought one from him though.

    Of modern ice lollies, pink chocolate Magnum. As a kid, strawberry or pineapple Mivvi, Fab, Cider Quench & also, Funny Feet.
