Lolly Ices

Back in the dim and distant past there was a banana lolly, I think it was called a Banana Boat. A bit racist as it had a black lad on the wrapper, when it was still considered ok to associate bananas with black people. Nice lolly though.

Growing up on the Isle of Man we would have had different lollys and ice creams to most of you as Manx Ices had the monopoly on the island, and the likes of Walls weren't allowed in. My favourite was the Choc Mad, which was a raspberry lolly ice half dipped in chocolate. We had Screwballs, only they were called HiBalls. Shit ice cream in a cone shaped plastic packet with a bubbly at the bottom of it, so the principle was the same. I loved visiting our rels in England as I got to gorge myself on things like Funny Feet, which we couldn't get on the island. Good times.

I remember the banana ones, like a frozen banana milkshake on a stick. Chocolate, too.

Deffo lolly ices and not ice lollies, that's something little Lord fuckpants would say.

 

Mama can I have an iced lolly.

 

Fuck off.

 

As a kid it was strawberry splits and solero, I'm a Magnum man now though but I know that doesn't count.

Speaking of Little Lord Fuckpants, these were lovely.

Very similar tastes except my early favourites lolly ices were Twicers.

Aye , loved  a Twicer when I was a kid , I think the factory was by Scotland Road somewhere.

 

Worst lolly ice / ice cream I have ever had was Andres Iniesta's fault. On holiday in Benalmadena and went to a kiosk where the guy had no English & I panicked and pointed to a picture of the lavishly-fodded Barca legend & received an abomination called Maxi-bon. Imagine very ordinary ice cream, sandwiched in two bourbon biscuits with bits of Lidl's own cookies in the ice cream.

Ha ha. I had a Maxibon the other day and quite enjoyed it. Ordinary ice cream but the biscuit is nothing like a bourbon.
