In light of the current high temperatures, I'm coming around with my ice cream van.
What are you having?

I agree but I’m not sure Ice Ice Baby would adapt to dingly bells 😆

sanityisamyth · 26/06/2026 22:05

Calippo. Prefer lollies to ice creams. Don't like cones.

It's exactly the tinny dingly bells that give me the heebie jeebies 😱

How about Daddy Cool then? 😆

Open to any other suggestions, what tune does your local van play MNs?

A whippy ice cream (the dense stuff not the really airy stuff) in a tub with nuts and chocolate sauce 😋

FireBreathingDragon · 26/06/2026 22:13

A banana lolly please!

underseige05 · 26/06/2026 22:16

99 with a flake, raspberry sauce and sherbet in a pot no cone. BUT I cant have diary so it's a huge risk to eat it 😫

Error404FucksNotFound · 26/06/2026 22:17

99 with nuts, bits and sauce.

CanIbeRio · 26/06/2026 22:17

Take me back to 1978 and I'll have a Haunted House lolly please!

unsync · 26/06/2026 22:30

A Mr Whippy. As a child, a Haunted House.

goldenhunter · 26/06/2026 22:32

Oyster with red sauce! But they never seem to have oysters anymore which makes me so sad!!

Would have been a feast, I bought some for the freezer the other day and was very annoyed to see they e completely changed them! Why oh why would they do that, they had always been my favourite 😕

They're just gross now!

Agree, I had one recently & threw it away after the first bite, horrible. However gave the Aldi version a go & they’re lovely, how I remember the originals!

Fraley · 26/06/2026 22:50

Lemon Ice with a whippy top, raspberry sauce, sprinkles & a flake!

Blarn · 26/06/2026 22:51

99 with juice and a flake.

AnOldCynic · 26/06/2026 22:59

Cider lolly.

Momrage · 26/06/2026 23:04

Tub or waffle cone, 99 with flake and rolled in chopped nuts

managingexpectations · 26/06/2026 23:33

Double chocolate wafer with vanilla icecream
or
an Oyster with chocolate sauce and chopped nuts.
I wish we still had ice cream vans round here

Crispynoodle · 26/06/2026 23:41

I would follow your ice cream van wherever to get my hands on the ice lolly that had jelly in the middle I think it was called a wibbly wobbly

TheGriffle · 26/06/2026 23:43

Screwball with bits, juice and a flake please! (Hundreds and thousands and raspberry sauce)

In my earlier days it was a toss up between that and a Calippo Shots. They were delicious.

GoneWithTHeWindJammers · 26/06/2026 23:46

An oyster with a flake

rosyposybluebell · 26/06/2026 23:47

I'd have a Dracula ice lolly - black ice lolly with red jelly inside.

Therewerelionsonce · 27/06/2026 00:26

@FridgeJenga our local van plays Teddy Bears Picnic and it creeps me out.
I would like a vanilla tub with chocolate sauce and nuts please.

Waitinggame42023 · 27/06/2026 04:31

If it's circa 1999 I'd like a Solero Ice lolly please (frozen whizzed up real strawberry in a lemonade shell), or the old Twisters that were bright lime green and actually had flavour. Otherwise a cider lolly or pineapple split please.

hahabahbag · 27/06/2026 05:07

Feast, not the mint one though.

DanaScullysLegoHair · 27/06/2026 05:07

A 99 dipped in sherbert with raspberry sauce. Or an Uncle Mac 20p special (Ice cream in a cone with an ice lolly stuck in the top).

One of the local vans played the Match of the Day theme tune, quite jolly!

Davros · 27/06/2026 07:21

I think ice cream van jingles are a bit like clowns in that they can feel sinister. A way to lure children away from safety. Or am I overthinking this? 🤡
