Well, national ice cream sales figures* since January 2015 have just been released by Tesco.
We have kept it to portable ice creams only – nothing that comes in a tub – and removed own-brand products to bring you this: Ireland’s biggest-selling ice creams this year, in reverse order.
*Rankings are calculated by number of ice creams sold, not by value
The Marmite of ice creams. Some people swear by it. Some people argue that the phrase ‘crusty bits’ is less refreshing snack, more personal hygiene issue. Whatever, it’s a national institution.
8. Magnum Pink Raspberry

The newest ice cream on this list, Magnum Pink launched only this January and is already storming into the top ten. Perhaps not coincidentally, it’s the most inexplicably gendered of the bunch. The campaign for a ‘Magnum Steel’ ice cream for men starts here.

2. Loop the Loop
Whoops!

To be honest, we can’t believe this is behind the almond one. Massive injustice.

Grand, but it’s no white chocolate, is it?
