Wibbly Wobbly Wonder.  Aldi as a similar product called "Jiggly Pops" but not as good.

Two I've bought recently and remain my favourites Brunch and Feast.

Not a big ice cream fan, as in can take or leave a 99, or Magnum etc. prefer the more refreshing ice type lollies.

Top 3 would be

Whites lemonade ice lollies
Fruit pastilles
Pistachio Cornetto (not that easy to get over here).

Close runner ups - Feast, loop the loop, captain quencher. Hard to beat a wee rocket as well.

Always felt the Dale Farm Rocky Raspberry had the strongest flavour and therefore the best of the ice lolly genre including the orange, pear etc.

Its all about how you pronounce diluting though....

Got to say it in a culchie way...

Like dilutin in quick motion....and not di-luting like Paddy Raff in a Malone Rd accent...

Surely nearly every house in the country knows this...
