They don't sell them in Ireland anymore The caramel ones were to die for! Had one last time I was in the Czech Republic though.

NOOOOOOOOOOO! The same thing happened with Snow Flake bars, I got a craving for one and found out they'd been discontinued. why must everything I love be taken away?

Why did they do away with Fat Frogs.

Bring back fat frogs

they didn't do away with them

Fat frogs became alcoholic and moved into the adult world with a fair bit of success. Now seemingly out of fashion again, I can see them crawling back into the fridge looking for us to take them back

Your memory serves you poorly my friend, the yellow section had a kinda gelatinous sheen to it but it was definitely on the rubbery side of wibbly.

Wibbly wobbly wonders, I haven't seen them in ages though. Or else some of the new Cornettos/Magnums. Is there any coffee ice creams out there?

50p :eek: No wonder I only remember having it one time. Must've been the big spend at the time.:pac:

Miss the golly one, fat frog and the foot ones. They still have the one with the chocolate and two other layers with the green and yellow. Have they stopped selling the stuff you suck out of the plastic things? I like HB but like hagen daz and ben and jerrys more.

This sunny weather is makes me crave an ice cream - something like a cornetto would be lovely right now. Or a 99 - nom!

Had some of that new Ben and Jerries core stuff a couple of weeks ago and it was amazing!

But with all new types of ice-cream out there - I wanted to ask the good people of AH what you think the best ice-cream is, and why?

Mauds ice cream is by the far the nicest... loads of tasty different flavours.. my fave is chocolate marshmellow and poor bear
take a trip out the howth and theres a coffee shop (pink and green shop) at the end of the village that does it there.
Que is always out the door but well worth the wait and drive especially on a day like today

CiaranTheGreat

Any one remember winner taco?? I used to love them as a kid!!

Justin10

No Calippos?

Best was fat frog.

Hot days Supper Split or Twister.

Loved maxi twist but eventually had barely any of the colouring in it.

klose

Mars ice cream, although i hate actual mars bars.


Cant bait a 99 though.

Gyalist

Best ice cream?

Devon House Soursop Ice Cream from Jamaica. You taste it once and all other ice creams don't taste so appealing any more.

Twister was nice. Love the baileys Icecream though by hagen daz.

I was at a trade show in LA once and saw them doing brisk business at the bar with Guinness floats.

36 posts in at the time of typing and no one's larging up the Mars ice cream. I am disappoint.

Craving a Snickers Ice Cream now since you said that!

Saw Mars, Snickers or Bounty ice-cream bars on sale in Lidl at €2 for a box of 7.


Kinda getting a bit tired of chocolate in ice-creams, miss stuff like Sparklers or Fat Frogs. Still partial to Wibbly Wobbly Wonders (if I can find one)

They're not ice creams, they're ice lollies!

stupidusername

:eek: totally forgot about Skys! they were my favourite ever! but rarely got them cause they were so much the chocolate in the middle was great.

Feasts are good, not the same as they used to be. Freaky foots used to be good too. though of the newer stuff, Maltesers is great! and Mars are still good.

I picked up a 7 pack of mini mars ice creams in Lidl earlier...... .....I shouldn't really....

kfallon

Now I'm craving a Sky bar They were the business!

Love a Snickers now and still can't beat the ould Maxi Twist ice cream tubs

dambarude

Twisters ftw on hot days - magnums on any other day.

Teddy's 99 and a stroll down the pier.

Without doubt, the best ice cream i have ever had was from Worskeys Spar in Ramelton Co.Donegal. I dont know how it is so good as its the normal whipped ice cream mix that they use. I think they just follow the manufacturers instructions to the tee and I suspect that most other shops water down the whipped ice cream mix. Thumbs up to Worskeys shop in Ramelton Co.Donegal for having the best whipped ice cream in Ireland. OHH to eat a Worskeys ice cream with a cool bottle of McDaids Football Special, Life is perfect.

Yes, in the 70's and 80's the whipped ice-creams from Teddy's were legend; they were fluffy and light like no other whipped ice-cream in Ireland. In more recent years they have simply descended in quality to be like every other whipped ice.

Ahh, nostalgia....... it's not like it used to be.

admiralofthefleet

ben and jerrys chocolate fudge brownie, which is half price in tescos at the moment

ha ha hello

Nicest ice-cream in my life was a 99 with strawberry/raspberry sauce that I got at oxegen a few years back... don't even like ice-cream that much but this was gorgeous! If it's something from the shop freezer, a 'normal' feast is easily the best out there!

The much missed Cheeky Choc.

What was the one that was green, yellow, then chocolate covered in top?

Ha, me too. Although I'm always left with rows and rows of vanilla when it's half price. Dunnes need to seriously rethink their stock before they do a half-price deal.

Half Baked... I can't believe it took 96 posts for someone to say this.

Half Baked used to be my favourite for ages, but really it's not chocolatey enough. If it were 100% chocolate ice cream, instead of only half chocolate with half vanilla, then there'd be no doubt as to the winner of the ice-cream crown in my mind. But as it is, I have doubts...

Jimmy Iovine

Magnum Double Caramel. I lived off them on holidays in France a few years ago. I averaged 2 a day for 2 weeks. Easily the nicest ice cream I've ever had.

Have never found them in Ireland though. Probably a good thing because they were loaded with calories and all that ****.
