I tried supermarket versions of Magnums… 38p per treat winner was packed with first-class flavour & chunky chocolate
LICKALIKES I tried supermarket versions of Magnums… 38p per treat winner was packed with first-class flavour & chunky chocolate Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MAGNUM lollies have long been a favourite summer treat but they're even more popular since Brat pop star Charli XCX was spotted with one at Cannes this month. However, stocking up on them can be expensive as they cost around £3.50 for a pack of three. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 9 Charli XCX was spotted with a Magnum ice cream at the recent Cannes film festival Credit: Splash Last week Aldi launched new flavours of its own dupes for around £2.49 a pack. But how do they compare on taste? Laura Stott put stores' own versions to the test and rated them out of five. Classic Magnum, 3 x 100ml, £3.50, Tesco 9 I found the original Magnums to be surprisingly lacking in flavour Credit: Damien McFadden ORIGINAL Magnums – which are made by big-name brand Wall's – are famous for their thick and delicious choccie coating and they don't disappoint on this front. When you unwrap and tuck in, the shell shatters and snaps in the most satisfying way but the shards of choc I found surprisingly lacking in flavour, with none of the creaminess you'd expect considering the generous amount you get. The vanilla ice cream was tasty, nice and thick and it didn't melt too quickly so I had both ice cream and coating on my stick all the way to the bottom of this eat. There is nothing wrong with what you'll find in this box and they are a best-seller for a reason, but that comes at a price. 3/5 Amour Choc Mint, 3 x 110ml, Morrisons, £2.25 9 Morrisons minty ice creams are fresh but have some room for improvement Credit: Damien McFadden LIKE the classic after-dinner nibble but in ice cream form, if you love fresh flavours these will be a good buy. Inside you find three minty ice creams with a thick texture, so it doesn't drip if you want to savour it and eat slowly. 'survey reveals what your ice cream eating habits could say about your personality' Nice chocolate around the outside but despite having decent ingredients this perfectly pleasant lolly just lacked a little something to make it really spark. The ice cream perhaps needs a bit more mint coming through and the chocolate on the outside was noticeably thinner than on some of the others. The price is excellent, however, and you get a big lolly. If you like mint they are certainly worth a go. 3/5 Gianni's Pink Lemonade, 3 x 90ml, Aldi, £2.49 9 The combination of lemon ice cream and raspberry sorbet will go down a treat Credit: Damien McFadden ALDI'S new Gianni's Luxury Pink Lemonade Chocsticks cost £2.49 for three lollies, which shouldn't cause as much of a meltdown at the till as buying a packet of genuine Magnums. These certainly look rather flashy, with a fun appearance which is bound to go down well with the kids if you stick a pack in the freezer when doing the family shop. The combo inside of lemon ice cream and raspberry sorbet with an exterior coated in thick white chocolate and pieces of popping candy is good fun and has some serious 'by the beach and on holiday' vibes. This was a very sugary-tasting lolly and the citrus flavour of the ice cream middle gets a bit lost with all the competing tastes. But as a warm weather treat it's a bit different and very jolly. Rather like an ice cream sundae on a stick. 4/5 Almond Sticks, 3 x 75g, M&S/Ocado, £2.40 9 I thought the Marks & Spencers ice cream was very bland and thin Credit: Damien McFadden VERY good value from M&S but these own-brand ice cream options were a little disappointing when it came to flavour, despite looking and smelling delicious. More of a short and chunky choc ice on a stick but they did seem rather fun-sized compared to some of the other own-brand whoppers and it was hard not to feel a little short-changed when they came out of the box. The taste is inoffensive but I thought the ice cream was very bland and thin, with none of the creamy vanilla richness I was hoping for. A bit of a choc ice of two halves however, as the choccie coating was delicious, with a great flavour and rammed with nutty nibs. A better ice cream filling would be a real game-changer here. 3/5 Chocolate and Caramel, 3 x 110ml, £1.19, Tesco 9 This pack from Tesco was great value for money and a delicious taste Credit: Damien McFadden A WARM weather bargain from Tesco. This box of three lollies was a winner at the till, coming in at an incredible 38p per ice which is a summer steal, and almost a third of the price of buying the big brand. Flavour-wise I thought they were first class and in the box you get three massive licks which should satisfy the whole family. Each has tasty caramel flavour ice cream in the middle, which is coated with a chunky layer of milk choc, enhanced with Crunchie-style honeycomb pieces. The choccie outer was the best part of this bite, thick enough to ensure you get that lovely snap if you like to nibble off shards to eat first, like I do. There wasn't a huge amount of the honeycomb pieces which some might find disappointing but, for me, any more would have been too sickly, so I was very happy. Great value for money, and a tasty treat. Winner - 5/5 Double Dip Choc Raspberry, 3 x 88ml, £3.25, Sainsbury's 9 The Double Dip Choc Raspberry from Sainsbury's are a real grown-up treat and delicious Credit: Damien McFadden THESE are very fancy choc and fruit-flavoured ice creams which will bring a touch of luxury to your freezer and work just as well as a dessert or garden eat. Inside you get yummy raspberry ice cream which has a thick, creamy flavour and tastes just as delicious and decadent as any posh tub you might buy. There's a double-thickness milk chocolate layer on the outside which delivers the satisfying shatter you want, and to cut through all that richness there's a sparky and zingy raspberry sauce sandwiched in the middle. These are a real grown-up treat and delicious, but the cost is rather high. And considering the price tag, the lollies themselves are a bit too dinky. 3/5 Chocolate Almond Coated, 3 x 110ml, Asda, £2.10 9 Asda's chocolate treat was high quality and felt like good value for money Credit: Damien McFadden A WELL-PRICED own-brand choc treat that works well as a keep-everyone-happy summertime snack. More classic in taste than some others, so what you find on your stick is a scrummy vanilla ice cream dipped in a coating of milk choc with tasty roasted almond nibs. For the price I thought these were super quality and you also get a lot for your money as they are very substantial. The vanilla whippy-style middle tasted enjoyable, with an ice cream van- style soft texture, and roasting the nutty nibs gave enjoyable additional taste as well as texture. The choc was a little thin and the lolly did start to separate and melt too fast, but that didn't stop me scoffing the lot and then licking my fingers! 4/5 Gelatelli Double Caramel, 4 x 85ml, Lidl, £4.49 9 Lidl's ice cream was messy to eat and it felt like there was too much going on Credit: Damien McFadden I WAS surprised at the steep price of these own-brand licks from Lidl, which were the second-costliest I tried after the Wall's original Magnums. That said, they are pretty fancy lollies with a lot of flavours packed on to the wooden stick. Inside the chunky milk choc outer you'll find it crammed with nutty nibs, then a thick layer of caramel sauce, ice cream with biscuit, more nut flavours and then more white chocolate, plus biccie pieces. There's an awful lot going on here, which is generous – and if you love a toffee-style ice cream cone you'll probably think these are fab. I found them a bit messy to eat, and the stick was almost too small for all the goodies attached to it. But if you have a sweet tooth you'll be in heaven. They're overpriced though, and paying less for a more streamlined ice will keep everyone just as happy.

I tried Magnum supermarket dupes and a 47p winner are as good as the real deal and cheaper than Aldi and Lidl
Plus we reveal more ways you can save on your supermarket shop N-ICE ONE I tried Magnum supermarket dupes and a 47p winner are as good as the real deal and cheaper than Aldi and Lidl PARTS of Britain are set to bask in temperatures of 29C this week - so a nice ice cream might cool you down. A Wall's Magnum is la crème de la crème but as they cost significantly more than most supermarket rivals, are they worth it? Advertisement 6 A 42p dupe winner tastes better than a Magnum Classic Credit: Oliver Dixon A three pack will now set you back £3.50 - 25p more than even last year - and twice now, Magnums have also been outed for shrinkflation. A year ago, the ice cream was downsized from 110 to 100ml and then this year, it reduced the number in the pack from four to three whilst keeping the price the same. This effectively bumps the price of each ice cream up by a third. You can pick them up for less than 50p each at Lidl. But do they stack up on taste? Advertisement LYNSEY HOPE finds out: Magnum Classic £3.50 (£1.16 each) Nutrition: 231 calories, 14g fat, 20g sugar 6 Magnum classic ice creams are now 100ml, rather than 110ml Credit: Oliver Dixon Lynsey says: "Deliciously thick chocolate which is the making of the Magnum for me and why these ice creams are such a hit. "The vanilla ice cream is creamy and perfectly sweet. Whilst delicious, they used to have branding on the chocolate which has disappeared so it's actually quite hard to tell them apart from the own brands.

You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they've been reduced. If the food is fresh, you'll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time. Making a list should also save you money, as you'll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket. Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too. This means ditching "finest" or "luxury" products and instead going for "own" or value" type of lines. Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they're misshapen or imperfect. For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50. If you're on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too.

Sadly you won't be able to cool down with one of these lost ice creams and ice lollies from the 60s, 70s and 80s Is your favourite among those featured in this look back at frozen treats from years gone by? We have an 11-year-old to thank for the ice lolly, or so the story goes. A young Frank Epperson supposedly left a glass of water with powdered soda and a wooden stirring stick outside overnight back in 1905 - and the rest is history. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Children the world over have been enjoying frozen treats on a stick ever since. But not all ice creams and ice lollies were created equal, with everyone having their favourite from their childhood. While the likes of Magnums, Cornettos and Twisters are among today's best-selling ice creams and lollies, there are some unforgettable creations from over the years which we've loved and lost. Below we take a look at a few of the most popular, and most bizarre, from the 1960s, 70s and 80s. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Dalek's Death Ray This Dr Who-themed Wall's ice lolly from the 1970s was mint and chocolate flavoured and came with facts about the popular sci-fi show, plus instructions on how to make a Dalek out of a yoghurt pot and drawing pins, which one person recalled was 'lethal if you put your fingers inside'. It was advertised as a 'spine chilling lolly'. Looking back, one person said: 'I can actually still taste it now. I don't remember it being a great experience lol. I mainly bought it because Daleks.' Oyster This classic creation, consisting of vanilla ice cream surrounded by an oyster-shaped wafer, is still available from some ice cream vans but is not as popular as it once was. Sharing their memories of oyster ice creams, one person commented 'they were glorious', while another said: 'This, a Midnight Mint choc ice or an Old Jamaica Choc Ice were considered the height of sophistication in my house lol.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Dracula Not many ice lollies are marketed with the slogan 'it's really horrible', but it worked for this much-missed 80s creation. The Dracula was a mixed fruit flavour ice lolly which was promoted with a memorable advert, proclaiming: 'The unthinkable has happened, the impossible is now true. I've been brought to life in a horrifyingly real ice cream from Wall's. Get your fangs into the strangest lolly you've ever tasted, before it's too late.' A retro version of the popular Dracula lolly, which later came with cola coating, blood-red strawberry jelly and a vanilla ice cream centre, was recently launched by Wall's, allowing new generations to experience the 'horror' for themselves. Funny Feet Another 80s ice cream which has recently been revived is the Funny Feet. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The much-loved strawberry-flavoured ice cream in the shape of a foot was brought back by Wall's, exclusively for Iceland, to satisfy nostalgia-fuelled cravings. Wall's also made Funny Faces ice creams back in the days. Black Hole Do you remember the Black Hole ice lolly? One fan recalled: 'Black Hole ice lollies, fruit flavour with black ice on the outside and a purple blackcurrant middle. They were delish.' It's pictured here, alongside the pink-and-green Incredible Hulk ice lolly. Haunted House ice cream The Haunted House ice cream, made by Lyons Maid, was launched in the 1970s. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad It consisted of vanilla ice cream with a spooky picture printed upon it in edible ink. There were a number of different pictures, including a skeleton, a witch and Frankenstein's monster, and you didn't know which one you would get until you opened the wrapper. Zoom Zoom was a popular rocket shaped ice lolly with three different fruit flavoured sections. It was first launched in the 1960s by Lyon's Maid and was hugely popular in the 70s and 80s. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The Zoom was briefly revived a few years ago but quickly disappeared again after failing to take off that time. Lemonade Sparkle The Lemonade Sparkle was surely one of the most refreshing ice lollies of yesteryear. One fan said it was a 'travesty that Walls ever stopped making them'. Lolly Gobble Choc Bomb Props to whoever came up with the name for this 70s favourite. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad A Lolly Gobble Choc Bomb was a strawberry flavour ice lolly with chocolate in the middle and chocolate and sugar balls on the outside. The Chilly Willy and more... These are just some of the popular ice creams and lollies from years gone by. Among the other memorable ones are Chilly Willy ice lollies, which came in a variety of different fruit flavours, including black cherry; the Stick Up, which had an edible liquorice stick; and The Finger, in the shape of a hand making a single-finger salute. And how could we forget the marvellously named Wibbly Wobbly Wonder, a strawberry and banana flavour ice cream with jelly and chocolate?
