I like a Solero although that has ice cream in it so not one for the ice lolly specialist.

I’ve just got back from France where I came across a lemon and mint Solero with no ice cream in the middle. Really refreshing...

Ooh, okay I shall have to look out for it when we cross the channel in July.

"Lolly ice" is a Scouse affectation. The civilised world refers to them correctly as ice lollies, because that's what they're called. 

This is probably true.

I'm fine with affectations anyway.

Orange Ice lollies are my favourite and am partial to an Orange Maid or the Del Monte ones.

I don't mind a cheeky cider lolly either.

I love them too and the rowntree lollies with the different colour bands like fruit gums. I agree that ice lollies should not have ice cream in them. It's just not refreshing in hot weather.

Anyone remember Lyons Maid Orbit - used to be a treat

we used to get two  "ice cream vans"  come round, and only on a Sunday........... Walls and Lyons Made........... the former had all the "mass produced" well knowns................. the latter...............

Cider Lollies
Cherry Brandy Lollies
Top Hat  (plastic container with a plunger to push up)
Screwballs (plastic cone with a bubble-gum ball at the "top")

as close as you will get to vintage in todays market. i put 3 in my gob at same time. But agree with op, the lack of such treats is utterly despicable. lyons maid need to sort it with zoom, cider quench etc.
The wooden sticks are also useful as les paul recommended action checker at fret 12 on the thick e.

Meh. I don't eat any ice lollies. Kids stuff .....

There's only two ice creams that I would buy - Toffee crumble and Magnum Almond, but I would only eat a Magnum if I could microwave it for 15 seconds first.

I like Twisters too, I have to confess. They’re not as good as they used to be though: the ice cream piping round the outside used to be pear flavoured and it was ace, now it’s just lemon and lime.

I totally agree btw about all the old lollies. My local ice cream van does them all and they’re far better than any of the modern stuff (although I like all the modern stuff too, I’m not fussy)

Lolly ices not ice lollies ffs.

Who the actual fuck says that?

Get in the sea. And take your lolly ices with you.

Twisters are quite nice.

But I'm afraid I like the modern ones even if they are a rip off. A good orange Solero is lovely.

But ultimately, they all pale into insignificance next to the wonderful 99 flake.
