    So many classics. Including my favourite, dracula and would ya look at the prices. Tell that to young people today, they wouldn't believe you.

    Could have a crisps one. Biscuits. Soft drinks.

    Screw it, I'll jack in the job.

    Future ones need to be more transparent. Can’t help thinking that ‘big chocolate’ got to you. Otherwise the final would have been Fry’s Turkish Delight vs Fry’s Chocolate Cream.

    If I could find these Mickey Mouse ice pop I had when I was a kid I’d be diabetic.
    They where shaped like his head with a white outer layer with cola layer inside and somehow soft.It was halfway between an ice pop and a ice cream but wasn’t made with ice cream.
    People swear they never had it but my local corner shop used sell them.Think there was a sonic one that was similar as well but not as nice as it didn’t have cola in it .Pure bliss.Anybody remember them?

    If we have an ice pop (for that's what they're called) competition, then the Fat Frog has to be in there. Bring it back!

    Too many posh chocolate things these days. A proper refreshing ice pop is water, sugar, colour. Nothing else. Sparkles, Fat Frog, Calippo, Mr Freeze, Fruit Pastilolly...

    Could be a good competition actually!

    Cola and blue Mr Freeze ftw.

    Even though they were cheap and cheerful, I was never mad about having a Chilly Willy. I loved those Haiwatha ice-pops, though.

    Calippos are unbeatable. I live on them if I'm away in a hot country. Fat frogs were a huge loss though. I only like ones that are pure ice with no ice-cream. Sparklers were good value when I was a child. Also liked cool-pops but we used to be warned about them being dirty.

    Never heard anyone call them an ice lolly before. Is this widespread now?

    Why has no one mentioned Little Angels and Little Devils? They were sublime.

    I used to love the mr Tall ice pops, I think that’s what they were called? It was a red and white spiral, don’t remember the flavour.

    Begging for the name


    Fadó, fadó, there was an ice-pop that had a purple middle which was like frozen blackcurrant jelly.

    Better than it sounds, I assure you: firm, almost chewy fruit ice. The tip just dipped in chocolate.

    They were my Paradise, my Shangri-la - we were in love for a whole summer:

    may even have been the Summer of Love - it was that long ago - but I can't remember what they were called!

    What offers? Any veteran hippies still around? (as well as me, obvsly)

    You can get the lemon & lime ones, if that's what you mean, in the six-pack. Three lemon & lime, and three oranges ones. You can get them in Tesco, Supervalu, etc.

    You won't get a better deal than the box they have in Aldi at the moment - 15 icecreams for 3 quid - you'll be found dead of brainfreeze with a big icecreamy smile on your face :)

    (There does tend to be awful fighting over the bobbly ones.)

    They were called lollies where I grew up in the 80s. No one called them ice-pops then, that would make you sound like a Yank! :)

    Wooden sticks, forks, spoons etc all give me the heebie-jeebies. I know they’re environmentally friendly and all that, but I can’t bear to touch them.
    I am that creep that folds down the wrapper to cover the stick as I hate the wooden sticks

    Final of what?

    How could Turkish Delight qualify to be any final with anything?
