Introducing the Ultimate Ice Cream/Ice Pop Tournament!

Typically, I've always selected the participants myself but I see that you guys here enjoy the process of submitting your own nominations. So with that said, PM me your nominations and I'll draw up the field and then we can have a tasty tournie later! Nominations can include products that are available now or past items from times gone by. If there's enough interest, we'll get it going tonight.

A real eclectic bunch of nominations received so far I have to say. Some I wouldn't have thought of, some I'd class more so as desserts and some I just straight up forgot.

Keep them nominations coming folks.

All matches will be uploaded one at a time. All pairings will be decided by a random draw. Quota before each round will be stated. In the event of a deadlock, I will cast a deciding vote.

The preliminary qualifying round is for entries which received only one vote. This round may feature ice creams/ice pops which are a bit left field! In this round, reasons aren't mandatory but they are most definitely very welcome. Owing to an odd number of entries, there will be a couple of 3 way bouts for the final two spots in the tournament proper. Have we got all that? Cool (see what I did there?), let's get to the first qualifier...

Damn! I forgot to nominate neopolitan. And not the HB version with banana whatever that’s about. I hope someone nominated the strawberry, vanilla and chocolate one.

I've actually never tried the Mars ice cream even though I absolutely loved Mars Bars growing up.

So by default I have to go for Mr. Freeze.

Nuii - just to give Magnum an early indicator that just because it thinks its the best thing in the world, it.... isn't.
