Tesco has announced that it has launched the ‘UK’s first-ever real-fruit ice lolly’, just in time for the summer heatwave.
The watermelon ice lolly is being launched as a healthy-alternative summer treat, and the UK retailer believes it to be ‘the first time that a 100% fruit lolly treat has been sold on British high streets’.
'Perfect Accompaniment'
Tesco produce buying manager David Daniels said, “Iced watermelon is the perfect accompaniment to a hot summer’s day.
“These thirst-quenching frozen lollies, made from a real piece of fruit, are a delicious and healthy alternative to a sweet treat for all the family.”
The lollies will be sold in a pack of four, retailing at £2. They will be available in more than 500 Tesco stores across the country.
