In the ever-growing pantheon of fancy iced treats, I believe the humble lemonade lolly is still the superior choice.

And if you're turning your nose up at this right now, I encourage you to give it a go. Most refreshing, tastes like childhood.

It is good. But I think for the perfect combo of refreshing/tasty you can't go wrong with the equally humble orange juice lolly.

[-] teahands@mastodon.gamedev.place 5 points 1 year ago

@leraje Hmm, personally I find the orange ones tend to wear out their welcome by the end.

But I respect your take on this important matter.

[-] leraje 1 points 1 year ago

They do, but I find that (after constant experimentation when the kids were young) home made lollies made with 50% fresh OJ and 50% water are perfect.

@leraje Well that puts the cat among the pigeons, introducing *homemade* lollies into the mix. I guess we would need to test homemade lemonade ones too to be sure.

...brb ordering a lolly mould.

I tend to disagree. The lemonade lolly is very good, but the rocket lolly is the definite winner in this race.

[-] joe_archer@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago

As much as I respect your right to this opinion, I wholeheartedly disagree. I do not need multiple flavours confusing my palette. Lemonade all the way.

@LunarLoony Ehhh, they're ok I guess but the pineapple part stings my tongue, gotta dock points for that.

Edit. Thanks, I couldn't work out to make my c searchable

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !okmatewanker@feddit.uk

@teahands @ukcasual you like vanilla ice cream, and lemonade lollies? It's like nobody ever told you that chocolate was a thing 🤔

[-] teahands@mastodon.gamedev.place 4 points 1 year ago

@dev_ric @ukcasual I like chocolate the way god intended! As chocolate. Or cake. Preferably both at the same time.

Clearly my tastes in cold treats are just a little classier than your own. No shame in it, I won't judge.

[-] dev_ric@fosstodon.org 2 points 1 year ago

@teahands @ukcasual see, for me, nothing beats that crunch of frozen chocolate. The best bit about a magnum is the crunchy layer it's wrapped up in 😁

Classy though? Pfft. I'm basically a starving Alsatian when it comes to treats. They skim over the taste buds at an astonishing speed 😂

As a kid we had sticks and cups that made them. I tried milk to many times and every time it was bad

[-] joe_archer@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago

Reminds me of when I tried to make fizzy milk in the Sodastream. Do not do this.

Bomb pop is king

[-] teahands@mastodon.gamedev.place 2 points 1 year ago

@KeefChief13 Wtf is a bomb pop

[-] KeefChief13@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Red white and blue popsicle

[-] teahands@mastodon.gamedev.place 1 points 1 year ago

@KeefChief13 Seems to be a USA thing, maybe? That is a much better flavour combo than our equivalent rocket lolly though, can't argue with you there!

[-] KeefChief13@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Lol it is probably a usa thing, but it taste really good haha. What is a rocket lolly?

[-] teahands@mastodon.gamedev.place 1 points 1 year ago

@KeefChief13 Imagine basically the same thing but the three flavours are strawberry, pineapple and orange instead.

Properly mid tier lolly in my clearly expert opinion.

[-] KeefChief13@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That does not sound bad

[-] PsychedSy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Bomb pop beer is a thing and I bought some red white and blue energy drink that tastes like bomb pop, too.

[-] vext01@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

Not a mint feast though, is it?

I miss mint feast...

[-] teahands@mastodon.gamedev.place 1 points 1 year ago

@vext01 Those were my favourite when I was a kid, except I'd always forget that only the outside bit is nice and then you get to that tedious solid choc in the middle 💤
