Thumbs up ALDI ice lollies batter Original brands

‘I compared Aldi ice lollies to Nestle's original Cornetto, Fab, and Twister and I'll
never buy one of the originals again’







Verdict
Overall, on this occasion the branded ice lollies did come out on top in
regards to taste.

However, you cannot argue with Aldi's biggest selling point, it's great prices.


All of the dupes were more than satisfactory to fill that sweet craving, and
you could easily convince someone that they were the real deal.


For the sake of saving those extra pennies, I still believe Aldi dupes are the
way to go this summer.

The Fab looks way better and the cornetto chocolate flakes look better.

Verdict: The real ones made with better ingredients taste better but the cheap knock-offs from Aldi are cheaper.

Hard-hitting and unexpected journalism.

So most would not know the difference and the Aldi ones are half the price and look much better

(and id wager that advertising is telling her brain that the branded one is tastier)

False economy

Also the fab has less of those little little things on top.

The Cornetto looks ****. The only cheap one that looks on par with original is the rocket
