It’s a bit hot in Australia right now, especially Sydney. Of course, that does legitimise one very important thing: frozen treats. So for this week’s Off Topic, I want to know: what’s your favourite frozen treat?
Anyone who’s grown up in Australia will probably have a fond memory or two of Zoopa Doopers, although I was always partial to the way-too-cold-to-hold triangular Sunnyboys. You can’t get them now: The Daily Juice Co announced a couple of years ago that they would stop production of the treat, due to a continued downslide in sales.
Fortunately, there’s still Zoopa Doopers. And, more importantly, Calippos.
If the mercury isn’t at levels conducive to melting thermoplastic, I’m always partial to a Magnum or Magnum-like dessert. If I’m feeling stingy, I’ll go the $2 choc mint from 7-Eleven – fancier choc-mint ice creams often take inspiration from spearmint in toothpaste, than chocolate with mint. That said, Connoisseru’s cookies and cream is always a good fall back. And if I’m at home, and can’t be arsed wandering out into the heat, there’s always custard (frozen or from the jug).
But what about you? What’s your frozen go-to when the temperature is unbearable?
