Ice Cream World Cup

    So here it is after the popularity of Omackeral's Chocolate Bar Tournament today. An ice cream world cup. Instead of each category competing in a one off match each category is divided into 8 groups of 4 ice creams in each one.

    So here's the rules there will be 5 rounds first will be the group stage, the next will be the last 16, then the quarter finals, then semi finals and final. Two ice creams will progress from each group to the last 16 where it is straight knockout the first will be the ice cream with the most votes the second the ice cream with the second most votes.

    The ice creams I have included are all ones which are currently on the market and I have only included ice creams sold as singular ice creams and not in tubs so no Hazelbrook farm or Ben and Jerry's or the like and no favourites from the past like Fat Frogs.

    Also I will be taking breaks during this and will not be continuing all day or over night. I aim to get this finished by Monday so that will spread the entertainment over a number of days.

    Group A
    1. Twix Ice Cream
    2. Solero (Red Berries)
    3. Mint Cornetto
    4. Almond Magnum

    Group B
    1.Ice Pops 4 Friends
    2.Maxi Twist
    3.Fruit Pastilles Ice Pop
    4.Smarties Ice Cream

    Group C
    1.Calippo
    2.King Cornetto
    3.Choc Ice
    4.Snickers Ice Cream

    Group D
    1.Twister
    2.Magnum Dark Chocolate
    3.Kinder Bueno
    4.Loop the Loop

    Group E
    1.Feast
    2.Brunch
    3.Cornetto Classico
    4.Crunchie Ice Cream

    Group F
    1.Nuii
    2.White Magnum
    3.Kinder Ice Cream Stick
    4.Solero Exotic

    Group G
    1.Strawberry Cornetto
    2.Flake Ice Cream
    3.Maltesers
    4.Raspberry Magnum

    Group H
    1.Mars Ice Cream
    2.Split
    3.Iceberger
    4.Dairy Milk Ice Cream

    Each group is done separately

    Mint cornetto wins everything. Anything less and I will revolt..... or just eat a load of mint cornetto's, whichever one is easier.

    No Golly ice bar..? Bloody woke thread if you ask me...

    Solero Red Berries for the first one

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Choc Ice just beat them all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,754 ✭✭✭✭Princess Consuela Bananahammock


    What about the Oreo ice cream cookie?!

    Might not be available but STILL - it is the ice cream "world" cup, is it not?

    Mod- Is there anyone interested in running this tomorrow. I've spoken to Stephen and he is not around tomorrow.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,982 ✭✭✭✭Deja Boo


    No reason OP couldnt've been allowed to do it when he posted the (well-thought out) thread and had the time.

    Had no idea a thread simply being "too much of a good thing" was lock-worthy reasoning. Takes modding to a whole new level.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 890 ✭✭✭seamusk84


    Is it still round A?
    If so it has to be the Twix Ice Cream.
    It is the perfect combination of frozen caramel and thin chocolate. Possibly the most refreshing while also being decedent ice cream bar on a sunny day!
    Twix.

    Hope this kicks off tomorrow....

    Look, no point in this thread

    The semi finals would have been loop the loop v brunch and iceberger v classic cornetto

    In a hard fought final, brunch beat iceberger by a crumb.

    We had just had the chocolate one.

    My freezer is empty 'cept for vegetables.
    My local shops are closed now and I therefore cannot sample any icecream until the morning.

    Last week, I could easily walk to the shops to buy chocolate, putting the chocolate, at an unfair advantage over icecream.

    So what I'm trying to say here, is Wibbly Wobbly Wonder.

    Imagine having the two threads running at the same time, I can just picture the absolutel bedlam.

    It’s still around but it had a facelift. Instead of one big piece of biscuit, it has little chocolate coated biscuit balls in it. Tasty but not as good as the original.

    No Loop The Loop?

    For me it would have to be a toss up between a Brunch or an Almond Magnum.


  • Posts: 26,052 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Twix tops Group A, no contest.

    Everyone who likes or even just approves of mint ice cream is a deviant. :(

    Twister to romp home with ease. Anything featuring pear flavoured ice lolly cannot be beaten.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,667 ✭✭✭policarp


    Cornetto Classico.
    Love them nuts.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,893 ✭✭✭tusk


    Had a mint Cornetto today as it happens and by God was it disappointing. Nothing tastes the same anymore


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,784 ✭✭✭highgiant1985
