Hi everyone!

Yes,welcome one, welcome all, to our latest TSR Food and Drink Tournament! This time we're going with the most popular rquested topic; Ice Cream! In the Ice Cream Idol Championship, we will ind TSR's most popular single-serving ice cream product based around the 2011 (sorry, but it's the most up-to-date, unbiased source available) UK product sales figures. I will use my random selection application that took me about half an hour to make to choose randomised heats, and you get to choose which of the chosen pairs wins.

RULES OF ENGAGEMENT: ALL PRODUCTS MUST CONTAIN ICE CREAM. NO LOLLIES, SORBETS OR FLAVOURED ICES WILL BE INCLUDED. ALL PRODUCTS MUST BE SINGULAR SERVING PRODUCTS (this ensures consistency of unit sales to consumption). NO LIMITED EDITION PRODUCTS/LIMITED PRODUCTION PRODUCTS WILL BE INCLUDED. NO IMPORTED PRODUCTS WILL BE INCLUDED; IT MUST BE SOLD WITHIN THE UK.
NO SUPERMARKET OWN-BRAND PRODUCTS WILL BE INCLUDED AS SUPPLIERS CAN VARY.

Get it? Good stuff! You're a bright bunch, so ye are. Whichever wins this will join our other TSR CHAMPIONS! Need a reminder as to who won TSR's chosen few in our other categories? Refresh your memory here!

OUR FIRST HEAT, FIRST BATTLE, FIRST FIRST FIRST!

and it's...

WALL'S MINI MILK STRAWBERRY versus SMARTIES POTZ!






Specifically the STRAWBERRY Mini Milk - the other flavours are also competing. Our first heat of our brand new tournament is a very colourful kiddy one; Smarties Potz, the single-serving pot of ice cream strewn with Smarties, takes on the innocently wikkle Strawberry Mini Milk!

We're off with a bang here, so let's start as we mean to go on; it might be ICE cream, but let's heat this place up! Vote for your winner!

mini milk
I can't imagine that the majority of people would have tried every single one of these ice creams.

Anyways... mini milk.

Mini milk. So cute, but so damn hard to open!
Strawberry mini milk - It's my favourite mini milk and I'm not that fussed about Smarties.

WALLS MINI MILK STRAWBERRY WINS!



It may APPEAR like a very cold phallus to the more immature/less aware amongst you, but I assure you, the above picture is in fact, a Mini Milk. Mini Milks are bizarre creations; you need to eat two to get the same calories as eating a mere apple, but for some reason they taste remarkably creamy and decadent... albeit the size of a dormouse's finger.

Nonetheless it sits proud as your first winner!

NEW HEAT;

MY CARTE D'OR CHERRY PERSONAL POT versus MARS TWIX ICE CREAM!






The wickle personal-size version of Carte D'or's indulgent ice cream laced with cherry faces off against the Twix ice cream, which for some reason is still called "Twix" despite only being ONE finger. Well, what's in a name? Besides, you know, a label to call something by and a brief prejudice and synopsis of the contents you expect to see based on said label?
Oooh. Tough. But it's the carte d'or for me :h:
Got to go for Twix, Carte d'or is a bit overpriced and if I were to pay out for that, it wouldn't be for the cherry flavour!

Tough for a different reason, Id choose Twix if I had to though.
Twix
Carte D'or. The cherry taste is a bonus.
