Icecream Man...What was your Fav Ice-Lolly ?

[Adam West]

I don't know how far this franchise has expanded but Rita's Italian Ice is hands down my favorite ice cream place.

Their signature item is a gelati which is a custard style ice cream with Italian Ice. Good stuff.

Makes me want to visit the US again.

I went in to a Deli in New York and I asked for a Tuna (bread) Roll.
The Deli-man didn't understand a word I said, I had to do a mixture of pointing
and trying to do a bad American Accent Toon-a before he
understood.

When you order a sandwich, you need to tell them what you want (you should have said Tunafish) and then specify what type of bread you want it served on.

I had similar problems in England. I was visiting on business and had to lodge at a pub (which seems unusual to me but it was the only place to sleep around in the area). A couple of guys were trying to have a conversation with me asking me questions about America but they were speaking with such thick accents and using so much local slang, I really couldn't understand what they were saying. It was a strange feeling really. They were speaking English but I just couldn't understand what they were saying.

Golden Gaytimes. Delicious. Here, we call them iceblocks.

Is that a Good Humor product? It looks exactly like what's called a Toasted Almond in the U.S.

Toffee Crumbles are a fave of mine, I also remember Push-ups and a Hulk lolly from the late 70s which I couldn't get enough of.

Now as an adult, I prefer the denser gelato...the only problem is that it's so bloody expensive (due to being a poor shipping item, it doesn't have the shelf-life of ice-cream)...

Dairy Queen? I thought you were from California?

Foster's Freeze, dude......

Dairy Queen is much bigger and has more locations.

But it's basically the same thing.

Answering this thread seems near impossible.

What DIDN'T I like?

I WILL say that those Strawberry Shortcake thingies
are a food engineering miracle in my mind.

My favorite as a kid was a vanilla Dairy Queen cone...

Yep, we still have them. There is one that parks a few blocks south of me at work and on a really hot day I have ice cream for lunch! But I like the twist cone with chocolate sprinkles.

Cool! I remember when they'd mix the chocolate flavoring in the vanilla and it wouldn't entirely mix, and when you got a chocolate cone, it looked like microscopic chocolate chips were in the ice-cream. Ahh...memories.

From the regular Ice Cream Truck -- Good Humor Truck with the door in the back!!!

My favorite would have to be the Chocolate Eclair with Strawberry Shortcake a close second. Cream sickles would be #3.

Okay - Now I want some ice cream...

[toys2cool]

anyone remember the pink panther one with the 2 gum balls for eyes? I think they had Ninja turtles too

my wifes favorite is the Mickey Mouse with the chocolate ears

We used to have teenagers on bikes here called "Dickie Dees" and I recall my fave was a "Dracula Delight" a creamsicle with red juice in it simulating blood. The guys would usually sell you some Dry ice for a quarter.

I remember in high school a friend of mine started dating a girl whose Uncle made Ice Cream and got a box of Dracula Delights, it was like he found the Ark of Covenant.
