I'm having a double 99 with chocolate sauce. DH is having a cider lolly.
What do you want?

I want what I had one summer when I was maybe about 12? (So 94 or maybe was 95?) it was a lemon shaped ice lolly bit like a magnum size but the ice cream inside was lemon flavour and the shell was a hard sorbet (similar to the starburst lollies in the 90s)

Wavesintheriver · 11/04/2025 19:26

Now I miss those starburst ice lollies too 😂

That sounds fantastic, no idea what it is/was, but I’ve changed my mind and want one of these.

They don’t do ice cream vans like they did in the 80s that’s for sure!
The one that came round our way was like a full mobile sweet shop and whatever money you had, even if it was only 25p, you could get an ice cream made up to that price , so you’d just ask for a 30p screwball for example.

Was it just a lemon sherbert?

Theextraordinaryisintheordinary · 11/04/2025 19:29

Screwball pls circa 1988

It was like the starburst ones so ice cream centre

Catandsquirrel · 11/04/2025 19:30

A ice lolly with a joke on please, I've not had one in years.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 11/04/2025 19:31

Can I have a Midhight Mint chocolate ice -dark chocolate and mint ice cream ( you'll need a Time Machine though ....)

CakeFace1234 · 11/04/2025 19:32

A screwball please with red and lime sauce and sprinkles.

Soubriquet · 11/04/2025 19:32

Just a screw ball with blueberry sauce please. Vanilla only. No cone

Condensedmilkdrinker · 11/04/2025 19:35

What is an oyster?! Screwball was always my fave, purely for the naff, chew-once-and the favours gone- bubblegum at the bottom!

Baggyprincess · 11/04/2025 19:36

99 please

MrsMoastyToasty · 11/04/2025 19:37

This is cruel!!
There's no ice cream van outside ... but if there was ... Mr Whippy thing with 2 choc flakes (double 99) and 'monkey blood' (strawb sauce) please.

I know, I might have to put my shoes on and drive down to the Co-Op.

Misspacorabanne · 11/04/2025 19:41

A feast please, either the original or the mint version, I’m not fussy! Thanks! 😉

Mylegishangingoff · 11/04/2025 19:42

It's funny I should see this thread. Dh has literally just ran out to the ice-cream van. I'm not sure what he will get probably a 99 but I'm just out of the shower after running 10km in 20degree heat so whatever it is I am going to devour!

MrsMoastyToasty · 11/04/2025 19:42

Nobbly bobbly for DSIS.
