Bought a load of 'magnum' ice-cream lollies earlier (and scoffed the lot one after the other) and in the time it took to get them from shop freezer to house, they had started to soften, and when eating those after the first one or two they had softened but remained cold, so beneath the chocolate shell they were lovely and squishy. Semi-liquefied inside the outer shell of chocolate, they kind of burst when you bite into them filling your mouth with cold, liquidy good quality ice cream. The raspberry ones are REALLY good, raspberry flavoured ice cream with a double layer outside it with a filling of raspberry sauce.
Although to eat one I have to feel for the stick-end outside the packet, and unwrap from the other end so I can coil the wrapper round the wooden stick. I HATE the texture of lolly sticks, especially the coarse grained magnum ones. Even worse if its a long stick, rather than the couple of inches in a magnum and it pulls between the teeth. Makes my skin crawl and my face curl up in a grimace and makes me shudder just mentally picturing that awful texture. Either I wrap it thoroughly in the wrapper without touching it or I put on a pair of the disposable gloves I'd usually use when handling chemicals to hold them (a clean unused pair of disposable gloves that is, not the ones that have actually been in contact with anything nasty) Otherwise, although I never actually have, my instinct is almost a reflex, to cast away the vile sensation of touching those sticks. Most wood doesn't bother me but lolly sticks are foul things, they should use plastic instead. Some do, but not many, and the plastic ones aren't bothersome at all.
