A friendly place to chat.
No politics please. Don't be a dick.
In the ever-growing pantheon of fancy iced treats, I believe the humble lemonade lolly is still the superior choice.
And if you're turning your nose up at this right now, I encourage you to give it a go. Most refreshing, tastes like childhood.
It is good. But I think for the perfect combo of refreshing/tasty you can't go wrong with the equally humble orange juice lolly.
@leraje Hmm, personally I find the orange ones tend to wear out their welcome by the end.
But I respect your take on this important matter.
They do, but I find that (after constant experimentation when the kids were young) home made lollies made with 50% fresh OJ and 50% water are perfect.
@leraje Well that puts the cat among the pigeons, introducing *homemade* lollies into the mix. I guess we would need to test homemade lemonade ones too to be sure.
...brb ordering a lolly mould.
I tend to disagree. The lemonade lolly is very good, but the rocket lolly is the definite winner in this race.
As much as I respect your right to this opinion, I wholeheartedly disagree. I do not need multiple flavours confusing my palette. Lemonade all the way.
@LunarLoony Ehhh, they're ok I guess but the pineapple part stings my tongue, gotta dock points for that.
That shape... it has to be R.Whites, right?
Bomb pop is king
Bomb pop beer is a thing and I bought some red white and blue energy drink that tastes like bomb pop, too.
@KeefChief13 Wtf is a bomb pop
Red white and blue popsicle
@KeefChief13 Seems to be a USA thing, maybe? That is a much better flavour combo than our equivalent rocket lolly though, can't argue with you there!
Lol it is probably a usa thing, but it taste really good haha. What is a rocket lolly?
@KeefChief13 Imagine basically the same thing but the three flavours are strawberry, pineapple and orange instead.
Properly mid tier lolly in my clearly expert opinion.
That does not sound bad
Edit. Thanks, I couldn't work out to make my c searchable
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !okmatewanker@feddit.uk
Not a mint feast though, is it?
I miss mint feast...
@vext01 Those were my favourite when I was a kid, except I'd always forget that only the outside bit is nice and then you get to that tedious solid choc in the middle 💤
You heretic! That's the best bit!
As a kid we had sticks and cups that made them. I tried milk to many times and every time it was bad
Reminds me of when I tried to make fizzy milk in the Sodastream. Do not do this.
If Japan has taught me anything, you may want to check the ingredients list on that before consuming.
hard agree, i'm suffering from the after effects of a flu jab right now and a lemonade lolly sounds heavenly.
@Duchess Does that thing people do when they send *internet hugs* also work with lollies? Let's see.
*internet lemonade lolly*
It's much appreciated lol
No lollygagging!
Nah Mr wippy with a 99p flake is banging
