‘Bloody £9 for two’: TikTok twins rage at ice-cream van prices
‘Bloody £9 for two’: TikTok twins rage at ice-cream van prices
On the topic of Ice Cream prices, I've posted before about checking out Poundland's freezer section for deals. Often weird foreign brands and strange flavours (liquorice & banana was one), but great value.
My current fave is Dale Farm Choc Pop mint chocolate chip. It looks very much like a children's thing, with the cartoon crocodile on the front, but it's £1.25 for a 900ml tub and it's staggeringly good. I served it up to a guest last week who declared it the best mint chocolate chip ice cream she'd ever eaten.
I've got about 10 tubs in the chest freezer to keep me going.

It's funny
But also I wouldn't be proud of my kids if they talked like that at the girls age.
The mums obviously happy as they've gone viral which was the obvious intention.
Simply a reflection of the way society is heading.
Wiat, what ?! But also I wouldn't be proud of my kids if they talked like that at the girls age.

That's got to be a voice overlay, surely? Nobody speaks like that at that age.r3g said:

12p for an ice cream cone in the supermarket, so probably costs them less if they're buying in bulk. mr whippy is mostly air. How much does that twirl of ice cream cost them? probably not even 50p surely.
All the things the rest of us complain about: road tax, insurance, diesel, cost of vehicle maintenance, congestion charges / ULEZ. Plus pitch fees and staff wages, before you even get to the cost of ingredients, containers, spoons etc.
We quite often have a choc ice for dessert.
Pre COVID in Tesco they were £1.00 for a box of eight. During COVID the number was reduced to six, still a £1.00
Last year they went up to £1.50 for six.
We stock up in Iceland on a Tuesday. Still £1.50 for six, but we get the OAP 10% discount. Plus Iceland do six of their own Cornetto style cones for £1.50.
We bought two ice creams at a seaside ice cream parlour last week. Didn't get any change from £8. I did get a filthy look as I didn't contribute to the tips jar on the counter.
