Flavorite vs Certified Scoops: The Ice/Milk Lollies Battle in Trinidad and Tobago

Flavorite Supreme Ice Cream, once the king of ice cream and Ice Pops (Likkastick) here in Trinidad and Tobago, disappeared in 2018, but 6 years later they are finally back and once again, Life is Good..or is it?
Recently, another brand of Lollies came up and it’s also locally owned by our very own ‪@Certifiedsampson‬ so yeah, we're also trying to Certified Scoops (CS) in this one as well.
BTW: Nothing was sponsored it this one, so all product images was used for references
Shoutout my very special guest in this one, of course it's my wife ‪@JuliaMayn‬ for joining me in this one, as it was the only way we were able to try 12 of these flavours

I remember we used to wait for the pallet man those were the best how ever it was made

[@TrinbagoVibes]

Yeah, when I use to visit my grandparents in Gandhi village, there was a snowcone/ice cream dude who use to pass in the village and whose homemade ice cream was bess

[@positivemindset30]

[@rickyaustin5164]

Throw back to growing up Vibes 🎉. You used the correct word pallet 😂 we never said ice lolly 😂. Nice to remember joe gum, you could chew it forever 😂. Trinidad is the only place I know had orange pine flavour ice cream. I have looked for it abroad no luck. Do they still make that flavour home? This may be before your time but in the gas stations you could get the biggest pallet, snowman pallet came in two flavours orange and red, it was frozen solid 😂. Most of the time it was bent 😂. This is a thought doing a vlog on the older gas stations with the unique building designs if they still exist 🤔. Remember the pyramid influence station near the airport? Some called it the plane station. Later.

[@TrinbagoVibes]

lol, unfortunately most of these gas stations no longer exits, you may get lucky in the far country sides to see them, but almost all the gas stations have been updated to a standard modern look…and I learnt pallet from my grandmother, lol
