This is not the only popsicle or ice cream flavour that has sparked the ire of netizens. In March this year, ice cream brand Van Leeuwen launched a ranch-flavoured limited edition ice cream in collaboration with sauce company Hidden Valley. The unique ice cream flavour was released on March 10, to mark the occasion of National Ranch Day.

In its press release, Van Leeuwen explained the ice cream as, “The ice cream boasts the savoury flavours of the ranch, including buttermilk, flavorful herbs and a touch of sweetness, creating a delicious treat that pairs perfectly with salty snacks”.
