July 2023: When summer sets in, Brits of all ages look forward to cooling off with a delicious ice cream. But if you take too long to enjoy the frozen treat, you may quickly have a sticky mess on your hands.
With this in mind, new research by TopRatedCasinos surveyed the UK public to determine Britain’s favourite ice creams and ice lollies. Based on the results, the team conducted an experiment to find out which of Britain’s favourite ice creams could last the longest before melting in the sun.

The Calippo is hailed the quickest ice cream to melt, lasting just over 3 minutes
With a survival rate of only 3 minutes and 10 seconds, the Calippo was hailed as the fastest ice cream to melt under the sun.
Following closely behind, the Pink Twister began melting after 4 minutes and 47 seconds.
Despite experimenting with four ice lollies, the Feast was next to melt, taking only 5 minutes and 40 seconds. By the time the Magnum and Lotus Biscoff saw their first drip, this chocolate delight had seeped away entirely from its stick.

The Magnum officially crowned the UK’s favourite ice cream
After surveying 1,500 people, the team found that Magnums are the most beloved ice cream in the UK, with over half of us (36.3 million people) saying it’s our favourite. This is followed by the Cornetto (39%) and the Flake (25%).
Despite the many childhood memories attached to it, it was found that the trusty ice pop (or ice pole, tip-top, or Mr Freeze) only got 3% of the votes. However, it seems like the taste of childhood is still lingering for those aged 25-34 and 35-44, with 6% and 7% voting it as their favourite, respectively.
