Well I'm not sure this is right with regard to ice lollies...

[Sparklingbrook]

That bottom layer? Nooo. Rocket lolly better than a Fab?

I've found my fellow Nobbly Bobbly people here! If you've ever had a Nobby Bobbly, you know

Sorry to derail slightly, but I find it weird that people in the UK call such things 'ice lollies'. In Australia we call them ice creams which seems more sensible, given that they usually contain cream that is, indeed, icy.

I'd only call 'water ices' (ie non-creamy ones) 'ice lollies'. But there are some which do contain dairy for which 'ice cream' would be just as wrong - ice cream has to be a softer texture. The cornetto and magnums are ice creams.

Corneto goes in the top tier, mini milk gets it's own tier below the bottom and rocket takes place of the corneto in the 3rd tier.

I remember when twisters were called tangle twisters, they seemed pretty exotic back then.

I'm sure there was a neopolitan ice-cream original version, called a tongue twister.

I also liked walls fat frog and Dracula (though NOT the abomination that was relaunched a few years ago)

Nope. In our house Fab is the go-to always.

It's weird. Maybe it's from just before they put those warnings out not to shove them up the holy tunnel to cool down.

Weird times, cornettos at the bottom indeed

Cornettos and magnums are sickly. Wouldn’t touch one 🤮

Magnum needs a tier of its own, it’s amazing.

Fruit pastille lollies are top tier. Rocket lollies are shit.

Mum's gone to Iceland

Its got Ice Cream in it - Ice Cream

Just Juice - Ice Lolly - Lolly Ice

Cornettos have been maligned and Jubblies taste of wet cardboard

Fabs are bloody delicious and only 90 calories - what's not to like?? I always bite all the chocolate off first and crunch all the sugar strands, yum. Jubblies don't belong anywhere but the bin.

I love a vanilla mini milk

When I was a kid we were only allowed either a mini milk or a lemonade sparkle from the ice cream van (the cheapest ones). Had to be a REALLY special occasion to be allowed a Feast or - aspirational - a Cornetto, which were normally strictly for grownups only!

Where are the fabs?

Ooh, no. I hate combined ice cream and lolly. I like a lolly. I like an ice cream. I don't like both on one stick. Ice cream should not be coated or combined with anything except chocolate.

@jay55

I tried some of those alcoholic ones, and I went to push it up, and the bottom split open and I got ice lolly lap. They were pants.

Oh no. I'll need a bowl maybe or just tip it into a glass, which kind of ruins it I guess.

Yes! Since I was tiny I have strongly felt this! They should never mix!!

I occasionally make an exception for a Solero, but the fruit ice with ice cream inside and ice lolly outside is a work of the Devil

My bin tier

Mini Milks
Rocket lollies
Jubbly

As a child I always had a 'Funny Feet' from the ice cream van.

My DD got a Whippy the other day with an ice lolly stuck in the top. I was like . Just all kinds of wrong.

Cornettos are not allowed on the table . They are ice creams.
It's a bit like the England football team fielding an non English player.

I agree completely.

I'm also still waiting in hope for the return of the double chocolate caramel magnum.
They can get to fuck with their raspberry and the white chocolate. Bluuurh.

You get those in Iceland

I used to work for a company that made the rockets, fruit pastille lollies, nob bobs and fabs. We had free ice cream every day and I loved it!
I agree that nob bobs should replace rockets. Never liked those

@ssd I can't go in Iceland. I can't be trusted and come out with all sorts! They also do Fruit Salad sweet ice lollies, and Sherbert fountain ones with a LIQUORICE STICK.
Although I quite fancy a try of a Funny Feet...

Do dogs get a vote? Mine would put cornetto stop because it's not a lolly - sticks are annoying because of not being allowed to chew them.

Whereas a cornetto... ah, food of the gods dog indeed. We were once in a park when a small child dropped one with only the topping and a bit of the ice cream gone - the cone was all there. Fortunately the child wasn't unduly distressed (it was far too big for him tbh).
So, fair game for a dog... now, visualise a cornetto, and also the snout of a standard dachshund. It turns out that if the dachshund has the sense to take it wide end first, the cone is a perfect fit. He gradually melted and munged it down with absolutely none escaping.
