20 British ice creams and ice lollies ranked from worst to best | Metro News

 

So you don't have to pollute your eyes by looking at The Metro, the list is :

20. Choc ice

19. Fruit splits

18. Screwball

17. Nobbly Bobbly

16. Mini Milk

15. Rocket Lolly

14. Fab

13. Fruit Pastille Lolly

12. Lemonade Lolly

11. Ribena Lolly

10. Feast

9. Calippo

8. Cornetto

7. Twister

6. Maltesers Lolly

5. Solero

4. Oreo Cookie Sandwich

3. Ben & Jerry’s Cookie Sandwich

2. The traditional 99

1. Magnum

 

 

OK, so what is the difference between a choc ice and a Magnum? Isn't a Magnum just a choc ice on a stick? My top on the list is a Solero but clearly the best ice cream is Streets Bubble O Bill

[mrbios]

Cornetto at number 8!? Pah, heathens made this list!

Magnum = thicker, better chocolate + higher quality ice cream. Also allegedly first made in response to a request from Roger Moore.

Well, a Choc Ice is a generic ice cream, and I have known some pretty poor onces in the past. The Magnum is much nicer smoother ice cream with thicker chocolate.

 

Personally I would have put the 99 at the top of my list.

[Bedders]

Cornetto at number 8!? Pah, heathens made this list!

 

Yeah, but heathens that put Ben & Jerry's Cookie Sandwich at #3. I absolutely love those!

 

Also, obligatory Shaun of the Dead:

Whaaaat!! No Mars Bar ice cream !!!!

[tekins]

Need an Ice cream now - wonder when the van will turn up outside......

[jdoyle]

a lack of HB ice creams stunted the UK market.

 

My favourite from Ireland was the inappropriately labelled but delicious :

 

[synaesthesia]

Nick Frost, Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright will not be amused.

[Al_NetSupport]

Need an independent enquiry on how Cornetto only made 8th place - would be top for me ( especially a strawberry one).

 

And yes - a Magnum is a Choc ice on a stick - even if my wife completely disagrees.

if it hasnt got a flake in it its not a 99 its just an ice cream cone

[newpersn]

ive always had to say a 99 with a flake to our ice cream vans round by me...

[GuyJD]

99 should have been #1 IMHO

 

I do like a Mars Ice cream but in this weather its Calippo's and Solero's all day long, I wouldn't even touch a magnum in this heat because you'd be wearing most of it before you'd finished.

[Theory]

#1 Should be the Frozen Blood of my Enemies infused with Tears of the Damned.

 

But hey, that's just me!

[simonw]

I'm sure there used to be a Tutti-Frutti ice cream, but then again I am old. Think I'm going to launch a comeback campaign like the Whispa one!

And FYI Farm foods selling 2 boxes of 8 Magnums for £6

[HarryMonkey]

I went to the cafe in Sainsburys last night and they are doing old fashioned ice cream wafers for 60p.

 

Had to have one.

There is no way to eat a magnum without chocolate falling off of it FACT!

Never taken one whole?

[GuyJD]

Never taken one whole?

 

Maybe a mini

[clockend25]

Damn it. Started searching for some of the old classics.

 

Would kill for a Zap right now.

[Dos_Box]

Nice to see the screwball represented 😀

[XiJ]

The trouble with these type of lists is they're created by imbeciles. 99 is a classic. Been around since the dawn of and is simply perfect. Number one every time.
