Calypso Jubbly Ice Lollies

...The product is made by Calypso and for each 100ml serving you are looking at 33cals (each lolly contains 62ml of unfrozen juice)

I paid £1.29 for 10 so didn't think that was too bad but I am sure prices will vary depending on where you shop.

So the taste test~
Having pre- frozen a few the day before I offered my son one of these and cut the top off so he could slurp away.

Now being a responsible mother ...
...these out as well..
The first thing you can taste is very sweet strawberry - and I mean sweet! It's okay though as you get a bit further down the ice pop (they are not a lolly I have decided) the flavour does seem to fade slightly and is more of a subtle taste.

It seemed to take forever to finish this and it was in no great hurry to melt either like some other similar frozen products.

Miscellaneous~
*Made using ... more

My youngest son is going through an ice lolly stage at the moment (even though it isn't excatly cornetto weather at the moment) and though I do buy and make our own (we have some very funky plastic moulds you know!) I find that there isn't always room in my freezer to accomodate them.

What to do?
On a recent trip to my local Iceland store I spotted a box of these ice lollies that came unfrozen..in other words they are glorified ice pops.

I liked the look of these as my little boy is not normally a fan of 'normal' ice pops but I felt confident he would like these because of the shape.

So the product..
Price and packaging etc~
Well firstly I'll just give a description of the ice pop..erm I mean ice lolly. The first thing that catches your eye is the unusual shape - an easy to hold triangular contraption.

There are 10 Jubbly ice lollies in a pack and they are all individually wrapped in a thickish card which houses the unfrozen lolly. The flavour I picked (well it was the only flavour they had at Iceland so had no choice) was strawberry.
According to the back of the box though they also come in orange; blackcurrant and the rather nice sounding tropical flavours.

The box is brightly coloured with a blue background, and bold yellow writing with 'Jubbly' at the top and a thirst quenching ice lolly underneath. Next to it are succulent strawberries randomly flying about..all in all it catches your eye on the shelf.

Now being a responsible mother (*coughs*) I felt it only necessary to test one of these out as well..

Well my little man seems impressed with them and though I enjoyed testing it out it's not something I would have again I don't think.

Okay to keep in my cupboard for when my son goes through his frozen faze but that's about it -too sweet for me.
