As a child of the 70's on sunny days we used to scoff:
Jubbly. (twisted triangular block of flavoured ice in a cardboard cover that broke teeth )
tiptops (like a long strip of luminous coloured ice lolly in a plastic sleeve thing)
Cider lolly (full of e-numbers and colouring)
plastic ice cream cone thing with chewing gum at the bottom...can't recall the name
Zoom - rocket shaped lolly from the ice cream van.
...aaah the ice cream van
What were your faves?
Pimms
mmmm cider lollys, I also loved callipos cos they lasted forever unless you risked your teeth!
Now on a more adult theme, and todays hard work: a pint of magners with ice sat in the garden, in the sun, watching the kids have a ball in the
paddling pool. I love this country when the sun shines!

I remember this having a plastic-like coating on it? Scissors were definitely compulsory! Fantastic packaging though, never once got stuck like most icecreams nowadays. And quite compact considering the size of the lolly!

Screwball!! I only remember them because my mum wouldn't let me have bubblegum so that dessert was my forbidden fruit!
My favourite was the supermousse, such an epic frozen dessert available in chocolate or raspberry. They've resurfaced a few times but don't last long unfortunately.
1. Strawberries picked from the garden
2. Mint Feast from the ice cream van
3. Very cold lager
ETA - as youths, a mate and I once raided his mum's freezer during the summer holidays and ate a whole Vienetta each like choc ices - felt ill
for a bit after that

Those that you had to defrost first?
an icecream that only cost 10p.
uncle mac was my icecream man he was amazing.
Strawberry mivi and orange maid.
Lollygobblechocbomb
White magnum.
And them ice cream wafer clam shell thingys.
And mint cracknell and astek bars (not ice cream but sunny day memories)

Screwballs were the best, closely followed by Fab's (both still available).
Any choc/vanilla/caramel based icecream.
Ben and Jerrys cookie dough or Cores do the trick.
To day I had a Magnum Caramel after lunch

A good old fashion mr whippy (99) in the 80's the largest was 99p with flake crushed nuts and strawberry sauce, Mmm
In the 50's in Kimberley where I grew up my favourites where
Eskimo Pie - vanilla Ice cream on a stick coated in chocolate
Herb Beer - non alcoholic beer made with herbs - tasted like a beer shandy and only available in Kimberley.
Deep fried Locusts made a good savoury snack when swarming.
Kudu Biltong.
