Advantages: cheap, good taste, refreshing break

Disadvantages: none for me

The last time we went shopping at tesco we decided to buy a few packs of lollies , as my little girly has a few almost everyday . My 3year old just picked some packs randomly and dumped them in the trolley and one was a tesco value pack , which I ws about to put back in the freezer ..but while my little one clung to it chanting ' yummy new lolly' I remembered a review of this productI had read sometime back of I-am -joy and I let her have them..after all 8 lollies for 76 p wasn't going to burn a hole in my pocket.

The lollies came in the typical non-fancy tesco value pack and each lolly(of generous size) was individually wrapped in a clear plastic wrap . There were three flavours chocolate(which tasted more like frozen cold coffee really) , strawberry (of which I didn't get any as my daughter devoured both (2 in the pack)before I had a chance to try it but I am not a big fan of strawberry to start with) and vanilla. I enjoyed both the chocolate and the vanilla flavour immensely ... these lollies made me extremely nostalgic of my childhood , and a brief spell when I had lactose intolerance and how I craved ice-creams then.


My home is a good 5 miles from the store and hence the ones we had in the car on the way back tasted very nice as it was around 25 degrees outside that day..however after they were in the frezer for a while they came out a bit hard... easily rectified by placing them in the fridge for 5-10 mins the next time we had them.


I won't make the mistake of comparing them with any other lollies, .they are a different type in themselves ... they are yummy and refreshing in themselves and a 9p apiece is something I would easily part with for these. They were a hit to start of with , with my and my neighbours kids who don't really have the perception of money or brand yet and thats good enough for me.


Regarding the content of the lollies..well they have the usual milk and flavourings , natural colours all other lollies have , maybe a little less of cream/fat content than your average more expensive ones , I didn't find any chemical additive in the ingredients list that particularly jumped out at me.
Regarding the calories/fat conscious issues..well my motto is-- eat well and exercise enough - to keep fit and burn off excess blubber , hence I haven't really bothered to see if it is suitable for people who don't follow that motto. All the ingredients are suitable for vegetarians though . Tesco was thoughtful enough to add the warning note that the beetroot juice used for colouring may stain clothings .


I think if the price for these doesn't go up much there will always be a small space in my freezer (provided they don't get eaten on the way home) for them.

Summary: Thanks
