Whether it was riding to the dairy with your mates or hitting up the beach with your mouth covered in ice cream, here's a list of classic Kiwi ice creams they should bring back to stores.
Fruju Tropical Snow
An absolute summer classic.
We still have Frujus floating around our dairies in orange or pineapple flavour. But a constant favourite was Tropical Snow.
The pineapple, mango and lemon flavoured sorbet-styled strips of ice cream always went down a treat and left you with a tingling tongue wanting more.
If Tip Top can bring the Peanut Slab ice cream to town, then surely the Tropical Snow can make a comeback!
Chill Lolly Scramble
The Grave Robber featured chocolate ice cream and fizzy lollies.
Who would have thought fizzy lollies and ice cream would be such a great combo?
Back in the 1990s Kiwi kids were made to work hard for their treasure trove of lollies.
Chill featured chocolate ice cream that had fizzy lollies on the inside. Each tub came with a spoon where hungry faces would spend their efforts trying to find every last bit of fizzy treasure.
These bad boys were the saviour on any hot summer's day when you wanted to buy both ice cream and lollies, but only had the money for one.
Strawberry Toppa
A campaign in 2014 saw the return of the Strawberry Toppa for a limited time.
This classic was like drinking a strawberry milkshake on a stick.
The vanilla ice cream covered in a strawberry ice shell was always a simple yet popular ice cream that'd quench the hunger and thirst all in one.
Strawberry Toppa made a comeback for a limited time in 2014 after an online campaign saw 140,000 people vote for its return.
It was first released in 1954. Bring it back, please!
Calippo Shots
The currency of the playground.
For years I've been trying to remember the name of these "little lemon-lime ice balls of wow". Finally, it came to my head and ultimately made its way to the list what needs to be brought back to the masses.
These icy balls of flavour were a "game-changer" according to a lot of Kiwis back in the day.
They were easy to share around so if you were happy to forgo a handful of Calippo you probably became the popular kid in school.
Paradiso
Perfect for a hot summer's day.
Who remembers this absolute gem of an ice cream?
Paradiso was certainly a summertime favourite where the blend of the tropical sorbet outside mixed with the vanilla ice cream inside was what dreams were made of.
The Paradiso was never cheap but it was what you begged your parents to buy when they said they'd shout the ice creams.
Tip Top should consider a limited time only relaunch. Please!
