If you’re a member of the same demographic group as me then chances are you remember the jingle from the old TV advert for Mr Frosty, an ice-lolly maker aimed at kids. Despite bold claims about Mr Frosty being both fun, and having the ability to make treats for everyone, you probably never owned one as your parents were too stingy to buy it for you.

Well I’ve got some good news for you. Not only were your parents acting in your best interest after all (the reviews on Amazon all suggest Mr Frosty was actually rubbish), but in case you’ve forgotten, you’re now a young, urbane professional with a disposable income, putting this sort of tat well within reach – and all it has taken was a 15 year wait. The even better news is that technology has progressed even further since you were a kid: why bother making ice cubes when you can make ice cream with the Play & Freeze Ice Cream Maker?
