Currently on my second Fab. Even the coolest part of our house is 28 degrees. How many more ice lollies are acceptable in a day?!

According to my DS at least 3.

Storminateapot · 26/07/2018 14:07

I had 3 yesterday. ASDA cider lollies. Mmmm

PinkHeart5914 · 26/07/2018 14:07

It’s hot as many as you like

TheShapeOfEwe · 26/07/2018 14:07

As much as one per hour would seem reasonable in this heat

scuttlemama · 26/07/2018 14:11

This is what I am wanting to hear!! I’d forgotten how nice a Fab is, simple but effective!

4 once it goes over 30, so basically 1 for every 7.5 degrees. HTH. 😂

Holidaycountdown · 26/07/2018 15:00

As many as you fancy...mini twisters are only 45kcal...so 40 of those is still under my daily allowance 😳🐷

EnglishGirlApproximately · 26/07/2018 15:02

Iceland rocket lollies have become a staple here Wink

Kerantli · 26/07/2018 15:06

1 for me, cause any more would have me on the loo for the rest of the day Sad
Bloody love Fabs too!

HoomanMoomin · 26/07/2018 15:10

All of them.

Stephisaur · 26/07/2018 15:14

I would say an entire box would be reasonable Grin

Gettingbackonmyfeet · 26/07/2018 15:50

Yes also according to My DS1 aged 5 a all the ice creams are acceptable and ds2 aged 2.5 jumped up and down and yelled ice cream repeatedly....so I assume he concurs

scuttlemama · 26/07/2018 17:32

I’ve managed to still only have two, but I think I’m going to ‘need’ one before getting DC’s to bed and maybe one after dinner.

I’ve got some magnums in too Blush

A word of warning about Magnums. Well, the coconut ones, at least.
They are addictive. They are also cunningly sized so that a whole one isn't quite enough, so you have to have two.

After a couple of weeks on the 2-Magnums-A-Day-Diet, I put on some trousers that fitted comfortably when I bought them, which was pre-diet. They were so bloody tight I could hardly breathe.

I reckon I've got an extra 3 inches round my waist because of those bloody Magnums.

Katescurios · 26/07/2018 18:12

Raspberry double thingy magnum are the best!

Raspberry ice cream wrapped in chocolate with raspberry coulis then more chocolate.

They don't last long once purchased.

Titsywoo · 26/07/2018 18:18

I've been mainly existing on choc ices. Cheap and not too many calories but bloody tasty.

Allthewaves · 26/07/2018 18:21

Iv brought lolly mould due to ridiculous lolly consumption. I make them from pure fruit juice so the 1 or 2 4 count as my one a day Grin

MoonsAndJunes · 26/07/2018 18:23

One ice lolly per hour should suffice.
Keep going until the box is empty.
fab lollies are fab! Do you scrape all the hundreds and thousands off with your teeth like I do?

Gazelda · 26/07/2018 18:23

I didn't know this! I thought you were only allowed lollies at weekends, on holiday or if you see an ice cream van.
Fortunately, Tesco delivered my weekend lollies this morning so I can enjoy them this evening and nip out to Spar first thing in the morning to replace.

Jamiefraserskilt · 26/07/2018 18:59

In theory, the ice lollies are made in batches using one huge vat of loveliness. Therefore, you may eat a vatful and it is considered to be one. After all, you have to cut food into pieces to eat and that is considered to be one meal.......

ohamIreally · 26/07/2018 21:52

Ooh didn't know that about mini twisters! Got a couple in the freezer. I've been going for the mini magnum praline so I reckon I could have 4 mini twisters for the same calorie intake Wink

MipMipMip · 26/07/2018 21:57

Unlimited. In this heat you sweat out all the calories.

Sandsnake · 26/07/2018 21:58

Haha - clicked on this thinking ‘bet she’s not talking about Fabs...’ and you were! It’s near limitless, I think. I had three Fabs on Monday, and chain ate two of those. When I was pregnant I once had four ice lollies in a row.

SupposedStudent · 26/07/2018 22:03

Assumed this was going to be about fresh knickers.

HotStickyTired · 26/07/2018 22:07

Fabs are shite. Tesco had loads of them left when I was in. They were all.sold out of Callipos, which was what I went in for. Sad sweaty times :(
