Is it just me who gets a bit overwhelmed at the choice these days? Every type of chocolate bar now seems to have an ice cream equivalent but the ones I liked best, strawberry mivvis and the plain orange ones are nowhere to be seen.

I agree, Mr Ts do a box of 6 lollies equivalent to a Mivvie 2 strawberry 2 raspberry and 2 pineapple. I’ve recently got hooked on mint Magnums.

I quite like magnums but there are so many different kinds. No wonder there is no room for the basic lollies any more. Is Mr T Tesco? I am not fond of pineapple but am sure I can find someone to give those ones to

Yes carbonara Tesco I think they also do plain orange ones too.

Strawberry mivvis always remind me of visiting my aunt and uncle in Devon, my mum wouldn’t have bought those, too extravagant!

I make my own! Just put fruit in a blender and pour into moulds. Currently have pear, apple, and rhubarb with yogurt layers. DS & DiL are happy that the GC get something healthy. I have a pack of frozen mixed berries which I intend to use too.

Oooh, a strawberry mivvie. Used to love those. And we do indeed have far more choice than there ever was. I'll hover over the freezer counter, quizzical look, until the cold gets to be too much then grab the nearest thing!

Only ever eat orange or Scottish raspberry ice lollies which I have every day (instead of a pudding). They have to be a certain texture so are either Tescos or Aldis. I was a fan of the R Whites lemonade ones until they changed the shape and texture of them which I was very upset about! Not keen on ice cream lollies although today I found some Christmas tree chocolate ones in the freezer so we've had one of those at lunch time. grin
