    old skool ice cream

    you can have all your fancy magnums and new looki cornetos and all that mars ice cream rubbish...but you can't beat the good old ice burger or brunch...or a plain and simple 99, without all this toppings and flavours stuff..

    and fat frogs meant a green ice pop in more innocent times

    also feet shaped ice creams are back in HBs new retro release of old ice creams

    it was pink foot on a stick - bit wierd


    feasts as well


    choc ices were the ultimate luxury in summer but each year the chocalate content became less and less and was than replaced by some artificial spray on thin substitute "i cant believe its not chocolate"

    Funny foot, but it used to be all the one colour - none of these swirls and chocolate big toe...

    HB Choc Ices were the biz, although the 99's out of the machine were/are still my favourite...

    the humble old fashioned wafer takes some beating.the shopkeeper would cut one off the block depending on what size you wanted.you were made up if there was raspberry or strawberry sauce in the ice cream

    ice cream= mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

    Seconded. The main reason I'd look forward to six weeks in Ireland every summer wasn't seeing the family, it was the good old Iceberger. Loved them.

    a brunch was like a delicacy. my mammy would give me money for an icecream everyday and i'd save up and buy a brunch every second

    then cornettos and magnums came out and ruined it all. over-priced, over-hyped, over fancy.
