A unique watermelon ice lolly is being launched as a healthy alternative summer treat and the ‘real fruit on a stick’ lolly has just gone on sale at Tesco stores across the UK in time for the heatwave.
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 watermelon lollies will be sold in a pack of four for £2 and will be available in more than 500 Tesco stores across the country.
Over the course of the weekend Tesco also estimated the following sales:
More than 1 million bagged salads
5 million punnets or 600 tonnes of strawberries
750,000 melons
