Manila’s weather is mostly hot and humid. This makes it easy for ice cream stores and ice cream products to foster because the demand is so great for iced concoctions even during the rainy seasons. Imagine Ice Monster, Zagu, Icebergs, Gelatone, Mamang Sorbetero’s Dirty Ice cream, Fruits in Ice Cream, Selecta Ice Cream, Nestle frozen delights. In fact, many of today’s big malls would either have a Nestle Ice Cream stall, an FIC stall, an Ice Monster stall or all of the above.

The thing though with eating ice cream, its such a messy scenario. Most of the time, I prefer my ice cream in a big waffle cone but because I either have to eat it while strolling the mall or driving on my way home, an ice cream cone just is not the best way to go. Even frozen delights like the Drumstick, or the Twin Popsies cause quite a mess while eating. True OC that I am, I cringe at the thought of having a sticky mess drizzling down my chin or staining my shirt.

So when I was given the opportunity to try out Nestle Ice Cream’s new product - Nestle Pops, I knew they hit jackpot. While everyone else was wishing for an easier way to enjoy their ice cream, Nestle went on and created it. Their vision was to market their product as a snack instead of a dessert. And to achieve this, they came up with an easy way to pop your dessert in your mouth whenever and wherever you are.

Nestle pops comes in a handy plastic tube in two sizes, 62 mL and 211 mL. Inside are bite-size pieces (the shape of Hershey’s kisses) of chocolate covered vanilla ice cream. It was similar to how an ice cream bar would taste but you get to preserve it longer because you don’t have to wave it around in your hand while you eat it. In fact its sooo easy to eat that you can’t help but keep popping it inside your mouth. Word of caution though - too much ice cream may cause sore throat (awww).

** Nestle Pops SRP are Php25 for the 62 mL and Php75 for the 211 mL. These are sold at local supermarkets and convenience stores (Mini-Stop or 7-Eleven).
