Twitter NG has struck again, and this time around, ice cream date is on the chopping board. The girlies are saying it is cheap, lacking in effort and just a reminder that you’re poor.
But is that really the case? Especially when you and the potential LOYL can feel like kids again and catch up on sweet childhood memories that these ice cream options remind you of.
FanIce (120ml)
When you look at the size, you might not think it’ll satisfy your ice cream craving. But it’s about ₦300, so you can get more than one tub.

This one always gives 90s babies nostalgia for two reasons: Closing hours at school and Eid prayers. It now sells at ₦100 – 150 for a sachet.
Supreme Ice cream (220ml)
This ice cream still comes through for Nigerians in the current harsh economy. With ₦450 – 500, you’ll get a 220ml bowl that serves two.
FanIce (250ml)
A step-up from the 120ml bowl, you can share this one with the LOYL.

Not the ones they serve in fancy ice cream stores. We mean the ones that move around on bicycles and mini-vans. A serving goes for ₦100 – ₦200.
Frosty bite (150ml)
Forget the small size, this ice cream can raise shoulders with Hans & Rene and Coldstone. The 150ml pack goes for ₦250 – ₦350.
Frosty bite popsicles
At ₦400 – ₦500 per sachet, this is an expensive spend in the rank of sachet ice cream, but it’s worth it for an ice cream date.
Nigeria is too hard, and life is too short for you to still be doing regular boring ice cream combinations. Instead of regular chocolates, Oreos and strawberries, try adding these things to elevate your ice cream game:
Plantain and ice cream slaps like crazy! I know this because I’ve tried it before in this video. Make sure you use overripe plantain — the one five minutes away from spoiling.
Have you even lived if you’ve never dunked french fries into vanilla ice cream? It gives this weird, salty and sweet combination. Plus, the warmth of the fries goes well with the cold of the ice cream.
My colleague Tega once wrote about different okra recipes. She mentioned okra ice cream as one of her options, and she even gave a recipe. It can’t be that bad if people are out there eating it. You can use this to lie to yourself that you’re eating healthy.
Bacon goes with everything (you know I’m telling the truth). There’s just something about how the sizzling bacon’s crispness matches the ice cream’s sweetness. Goes well with any kind of ice cream.
As a lover of cheese, I endorse this particular combination. Grating a bit of cheese over vanilla or caramel ice cream makes for the perfect dessert. If you want to be adventurous, melt the cheese and mix it with the ice cream entirely. If you’re lactose intolerant, for your own sake and those around you, don’t try this.
On paper, suya and ice cream doesn’t make sense. But when you try it, you’ll see that I know what I’m talking about. The ice cream acts as some kind of sweet sauce for the meat.
Instead of using milk, use vanilla ice cream for your cereal. I promise, you’ll return and praise me for this marvellous combination. I recently tried vanilla ice cream and coco pops, and I was crying serious tears of joy at how good it was.
If you’re the type to add pepper to almost everything you eat, you’ll like this combo. The cold ice cream tempers the hotness of the pepper. Just cut one tiny ata rodo (fresh red pepper) and mix it with vanilla or chocolate ice cream for a tingly edge.
Instead of crushed biscuits, try crushed plantain chips. From the crunchiness of the chips to how all the flavours mix together, you’ll fall in love. In fact, once I finish writing this article, I’m going to try it again.
I tried this combo for the first time at a restaurant and fell in love. Hot, sweet puff puff with cold ice cream is one thing everyone should try at least once in their life. You can run it with any ice cream flavour of your choice.
If it’s creamy, icy and from Cold Stone, then you can bet your ten fingers on these six feelings. But…only ice cream lovers can totally understand.

Ice cream is comfort food for a lot of people. It’s delicious, fattening, and exactly what you need to eat insane amounts of when the grim nature of existence grabs you by the throat and won’t let go.
So someone needs to tell me why the following super disgusting flavours of ice cream even exist.
Avocado in its natural form is one of the worst fruits in existence. It tastes like petroleum jelly and is nasty as hell. If you find yourself craving this shit, just have a few scoops of vaseline instead.
2) Garlic
Do you really want to be that person who oozes garlic fumes from every orifice because you’ve decided to like this abomination? If you like this, then I’ll automatically assume you also enjoy eating vomit and therefore got maximum pleasure from watching 2 Girls 1 Cup.
3) Mint
If you ever find yourself craving mint ice cream for whatever reason, do yourself a favour and squeeze a tube of refrigerated herbal toothpaste down your throat instead. It’s way cheaper.
4) Coffee
If you enjoy this flavour of ice cream, I have four words for you:
