To call a Magnum a lolly?

[MerryMarigold]

My kids say I'm being ridiculous and it's an ice cream. I know it's made of ice cream but it's on a lolly stick therefore it's a lolly to me. Likewise a solero.

AIBU?

YABU! Definitely an ice cream.

Yabu, 100% it's a choc ice. Onna stick.

They're all ice lollies whether they have ice cream in them or not

To me, ice cream is in a cone/tub. If it is on a stick, it is a lolly... an ice cream lolly.

Lolly here too.
If it’s on a stick, it’s a lolly.

Only two kinds of lollies: lollipops and ice lollies. A Magnum is an ice-cream, even if it is on a stick.

A Magnum is a Choc Ice

^ I said that with the confidence of someone supplying a dictionary definition but obviously I have no idea btw 😉

YABU, an ice lolly is flavour ice to me, not flavoured cream like an ice cream.

Ice lolly - fruit flavoured, like one of those traffic light ones. A calipso is a weird stickless one.

Ice cream - milk based, on a stick or a tub. Like a magnum, or Ben and jerrys.

Twisters are a weird ice cream lolly hybrid imo.

Choc ice, with exciting USP of being on a stick. (Or it was whenever Magnums were first marketed.)

DH ‘do you want anything from the shop?’
Me ‘ooh, an ice lolly please, one of those magnums’

It’s deffo an ice cream

Ice lolly = flavoured ice

No would never in a million years think an ice cream was an ice lolly.

Ice lolly frozen juice.
Ice cream =creamy. Ice cream.

Magnum is definitely ice cream not ice lolly.

It's definitely a lolly as it's on a stick.
From my childhood I remember 'funny feet'. No idea if you can still get them but they were lollies too.

I think you could call it either tbh

But I think it’s a choc ice

Also now I want one

I know a fair bit about the ice cream supply chain and to be honest both words are used interchangeably to describe any ice cream line.

Personally I like to call milk or milk alternative based products ice creams and water/fruit juice based products lollies.

Ice cream lolly. Now I want one

Lol - there’s no way on earth that a Magnum is a lolly. It’s 95% ice cream!

You are as unreasonable as the people who call all sweets “toffees” or call cordial “pop”

I hate it when people offer me a glass of pop and I get lukewarm orange cordial. Who are you people that participate in such nonsense? and why do you continue to taunt me?!

I was in the hairdressers during the heatwave and I’m normally just offered tea, coffee or water and was super excited to be offered what I thought was going to be a cold fizzy drink. But no it was weak warm blackcurrant.

ice lollies are made of ice, ice creams are made from frozen custard!

Nope it's not a lolly. That's like calling a sweet a chocolate.

Lolly's are orange/lemonade etc on a stick.

Although having just Googled the definition of ice lolly, I might have to eat my words! 😁

1. a confection in the form of a piece of flavoured ice or ice cream on a stick.

Yabu, Lolly is short for ice lolly or it's a sucker lolly (e.g. chupa chups). Would you call an American corn dog a lolly just because it's on a stick?

Definitely not an ice lolly. That’s absurd. But my mind is really blown by posters claiming it’s a choc ice. Surely choc ices are rectangular blocks of ice cream covered in a thin layer of chocolate and wrapped in paper - and only that.

This can’t be, can it?

A magnum is an ice cream, or a choc ice on a stick. An ice lolly is frozen juice/flavoured water on a stick. An ice pop is one of those little long thin frozen pouches of flavoured water.

It’s on a stick so is def a lolly
