Favourite product 2013!

So here we are, the contest has only just opened and oh boy if you could have witnessed what I have, luckily our opening weekend of the favourite product competition was a bank holiday one, ensuring plenty of customers to indulge from the wide range Roberts ice cream vans offer. We have seen an outstanding example of the year ahead of us, with some products instantly on top spots and some which have hardly taken off...but there is plenty of time for things to change!

Before we reveal the top products so far and of course the all important number one so far, a little update on what else is hot and...sauces. Mind the bad joke, but its true, Roberts ices have introduced a fabulous new range of exciting sauces. So new this year we will also be finding which sauces are the most loved! The exciement seems never ending! 

New sauces included Vimto! Black Jack! Turkish Delight! Mango! Cola! And more...

Of course as expected all of Roberts Customers have been mind blown by the variety and choice offered. With the new sauces and previous flavours included Roberts Ices now offer 20 sauce flavours to top your ice creams with. 

So, it's about time we listed the top current 5 sauces. 

In 5th place we have.......strawberry! 

In 4th place we have.......Vimto! 

In 3rd place we have.......mango!

In 2nd place we have......chocolate!

In 1st place we have.......bubblegum!

A classic such as bubblegum is hard to beat but remember the 2013 contest has only just begun. We will bring you further updates of sauces later.

So for the main event! Favourite product 2013 brought to you by Roberts ice cream van hire. 

After watching closely over the bank holiday weekend we have discovers our previous champion the Marshmallow cone, has slipped! Sales of this before favourite are yet to reach near top spot. 

It has been close between three products so far, two established products on the window boards and one of which is a special Robert put on the counter top, so here we go!

In third place we have.... The Caribbean Twist! A newly introduced product which caught on and has raced into a strong start, coconut ice cream and mango sauce, a combination much loved, by a female audience, why we will never truly know but it seems to be a girls temptation.

In second place we have....... The bubblegum cone! Delicious and beautiful to look at. Bright blue ice cream with a turn your tongue blue ending, on a golden crisp cone it's becoming a favourite for children and adults alike. A massive competitor for 2012 sees the opening of this year to an amazing start. 

In first place for favourite product 2013 so far is... The single with a flake. You can beat a classic and you can't fake a flake, Roberts ices are proud to serve authentic Cadburys flakes in their ice creams. After the bank holiday weekend this is the product, this is what the people have been wanting from our vans, seeing as Roberts have been on big events the last week and longer its no surprise really this is what sells at events, simple classics 

And there you have it, we have only just begun and we already have three clear leaders, leaving the lemon ice cone in 4th place and at the very bottom, the apple cider lolly. Who knows what will come and what product will fight its way up to become champion of 2013. Will our last years winner make a quick recovery? Stay reading and find out! 

Favourite product 2013 - it's back!

Ladies, Gentlemen boys and girls, welcome to this years favourite product of the year award. In 2012 we witnessed a thrilling race between a few hot favourites, and I predict 2013, to be even closer.

Yes that's right, last year was won just by the Marshamllow cone, for those who may not remember its a particular favourite...a crisp golden cone topped with fresh whippy ice cream and then rolled in colourful fluffy marshmallows. A favourite for children and adults alike. 2012 saw a positive start for our victor, sales were higher than other products day in day out. Then we reached event season and before we knew it two main competitors were back hot on the tail of the Marshmallow cone. A close competition and we all thought the bubblegum cone would clutch the 1st spot and in a last push the marshmallow snatched it. 

2013 sees a repeat from the popular window displays of 2012, popular demand has kept the products from changing...or so we thought! 

In a twist to tangle things up a few new and already popular products have been introduced, including

The Caribbean Twist - a large tub with mango and pineapple sauce complimenting coconut ice cream

Choco-orange delight - a knickerbocker glory with a chocolate and orange blast, chocolate dust and of course real Cadbury flake

Creme egg cone - a golden cone with fresh whippy ice cream, squashed into a half egg shape filled with gooey creme egg sauce and chocolate dust, the end result looks like a Cadburys creme egg bitten in half. Yum yum!

Of course we see the return of some classic favourites, the bubblegum cone, bunnies ears, the hedgehog cone and not forgetting the chocolate knickerbocker glory. All of which, have more than enough chance to claim that prize of favourite product 2013! 

The '99' cone or single with a flake, we all know as the ice cream to have, it's classic, it's an ice cream not too adventurous but still great tasting, an ice cream any generation can enjoy, probably the most famous ice cream of Britain as a whole, everybody knows it, enjoys it and craves it. It's only with Roberts ice cream vans bringing new and wild choices that this before champion found its up against some strong opponents. 

So nothing now remains but to open that serving window, let the ice creams sell and before long we will discover the favourite product of 2013! Stay reading and stay up to date, because now as of this year you the readers can vote for your favourite products of all time. Get in touch let us know what really makes your summer dessert worth talking about.
