Warning "Oppo ice cream sticks"

[bulkbiker]

As Waitrose have decided to cease stocking my favourite ice cream flavour I took one for the team and tried these.

(they were £4 in waitrose)

Nice enough but the polyols had a very unfortunate effect... needless to say they won't be bought again.

Almost as bad as metformin!

Alas, Oppo did unpleasant things to my BG anyway, but at least I will miss the other effects....

Luckily I can tolerate Metformin and polyols. @bulkbiker I think I’m right in saying your favourite is chocolate and hazelnut flavour (mine too!), they do sell it it in Tesco now, cheaper if you have a clubcard

That’ll be the maltitol. Lethal stuff - spikes me too, just to add insult to injury. One less thing for me to be tempted by/get addicted to!

No spike but very unfortunate digestive issues...

I have also suffered from Waitrose stopping product lines. I have found that this is sometimes down to the whims of the local manager as you can still find the missing item in other branches. Also complaining to head office sometimes works.

Maltitol is the work of the devil, I made the mistake of having this without any research, I still have nightmares about the mess it made.

Unfortunately this time they have stopped my flavour in all branches.. looks like a trip to Tesco is in order (or I could just give it up I guess).

I just bought chocolate hazelnut one from my Tesco. Very nice. I didn’t know my Tesco sold this. Thanks

This is a bit of a surprise. Didn't know such stuff existed. How many carbs, please?

Sainsburys have them too if you have a local one of those..
Waitrose have a limited selection and have stopped stocking the choc hazelnut!
