No matter what you say, Ribena is bland. It’s a boring drink that I never get. Freezing it makes it marginally more interesting, but it’s not enough to contend with the big boys. Gimme a free one and I’ll happily eat it – it may even make my day a tad better, on the whole. But pay for one? Never have done, never will. Temperatures are on the rise in the UK and even though us Brits love the sun, we’re more accustomed to cooler temperatures and cloudier skies.

I 2018 blev en frugtdrik koncentrat lanceret i Solbær, Skovbær og Appelsin/fersken, denne blev dog taget af markedet igen i 2019.

19. Ribena Lolly

An all inclusive holiday is the best way to stay in control of your money if you’re on a budget. The price covers essentials so there is a lesser risk of overspending in the resort. You remember these from your childhood, but did you know they still exist? They used to be called Solero Shots, but now they’re Calippo Shots, presumably because they don’t have ice cream inside them, like Soleros. If I had never seen a cow poo before, this is what I’d guess they looked like. They’re corndog-shaped tubes of mystery, and they make me feel uneasy. I used to like them, but I used to like baby food, too – and I don’t eat that anymore. Not most of the time, anyway.

Who doesn’t love chocolate? Even on the hottest day of the year, it’s still a treat that we all love to enjoy, so we’ve got the perfect homemade ice lollies for the occasion. Ingredients The only good bit, really, is that little chocolate buttplug at the bottom. I like that part, but you’ve gotta get through all the annoying hazelnuts and the spiky, weird-shaped chocolate spider on top, before you can get to the plug. Hello everyone, enjoying the sun? Yes, you are, because you are from the UK, and this is something that everyone from the UK enjoys. Another thing that you are enjoying, is the fact that you can eat ice lollies now – eating them when it’s not sunny is a bit of an alarm bell, isn’t it – it’s not really looked upon too fondly. But it is sunny now, so you can eat them. To begin, whisk together your milk, caster sugar and vanilla extract until fully combined. Then, pour into your moulds and freeze overnight. Once fully frozen, pour your chocolate syrup into a tall glass and dip your ice lollies up to halfway and allow to set.But newsflash: some are rubbish. Don’t eat those ones – eat the nice ones. But which exact ones are nice? Well, I’m about to tell you – I’m going to shout at you the correct answers, so listen up. Here is a giant ranking of all the ice lollies, starting with the worst, and sliding smoothly down your greased gullet, to the best: Disclaimer: I don’t like Mars bars, so this outer top-ten positioning is heavily influenced by that. But let’s talk about the ice lolly as a separate entity. It’s a bit boring. It’s a Choc Ice with a less than satisfactory amount of caramel smeared across the top. It’s also much smaller than a Choc Ice and the chocolate is equally as grim, although a smidge more tasty. Mars ice lollies, much like the bars, are rarely anyone’s first choice. There’s no oomph, there’s no get-up-and-go about them. They’re just there. They exist. At any given time, they are chilling both literally and metaphorically in the freezer. We’ve got other options. Yaknow? Naaah to Feasts. I’ve never been a fan of bog standard chocolate ice cream – like, it’s the worst part of a Neapolitan, but at least with that you’ve got two other flavours to make up for it. With a Feast, that’s all you’ve got. And you’ve not got much of it, to boot. Controversy, good evening and welcome to the game. The hill upon which I am willing to die is that Magnum ice creams are incredibly disappointing. A plain Magnum, white or milk chocolate, is boring. Sure, the chocolate is good quality and there’s a hefty amount of it to work through, but is the ice cream underneath really and truly a good finisher? It’s a sombre end to an experience that could’ve been great. A smattering of chocolate chips, biscuit, nuts or various other items within the ice cream portion of all Magnums would take them to a much higher level, but until such time as the manufacturers wake up and give us a truly lavish treat, they will remain outside the top ten list of ice lollies. Sometimes tough love is the only way. I have never had one of these “things” but they look like they should come with a trigger warning. Can you imagine putting that piece of coral in your mouth? It would be like running your tongue over someone’s leg after they’ve fallen into a nettle bush. It’d be like wrapping your lips around a sea cucumber. Like kissing a scabby elbow. Lapping away at the stucco walls on that abandoned house down the road. Grabbing a step ladder, going round your nan’s house and using it to orally assault her Artex ceiling. I will never buy one of these.
