To bite on ice lollies

If I have an iced lolly, I always bite a piece off then suck it in my mouth. Apparently this, according to my daughter, is weird and no one does that. You’re meant to lick the lolly.

AIBU to bite it?

I do the same as you

Everything is ‘weird’ to the youth of today. 🙄

Licking things is disgusting imo. Sticking your tongue out and licking it 🤢

What do you do with a Mr whippy?

A cautionary tale for the lolly biters out there:

I have been biting icelollies recently and twice experienced really painful 'toothfreeze'. A bit like when you press your hand on a warm radiator after a snowball fight.

Be careful folks!

Now that I use sensitive toothpaste, I can nibble off little bits but beforehand, it would have been far too cold/sensitive to do that.

If you only lick it, it’ll take ages to finish it. It’ll get boring so I’d do the same as you. You’d bite a magnum, a lolly shaped ice cream.

If it's a chocolate type ice lolly (like Magnum for example) I go in for the bite. If it's a fruity traditional type ice lolly I go in for a very satisfying suck.

I can't say I've ever got bored when eating anything Grin

Really? I’m the opposite

Maybe I have got it wrong

Nooo! I never suck a lolly. All the favour will be gone and all you’ll have is a sad lump of plain ice.

I bite ice lollies. With Magnum type lollies I bite all the chocolate off and then eat the ice cream. Not weird at all😅😅
