Woman orders ice cream for £5 and size leaves people totally floored
You wouldn't think spending this much on an ice cream would be a bargain – but it really is given the size that turned up after it was ordered. People are desperate to try it Remember the days when you could actually get a 99 ice cream cone for 99p? Unfortunately, inflation means this is a real rarity in 2025. Not to mention during the cost of living crisis. So when a woman ordered some soft serve for £5, you'd think she would be pretty miffed. But when it arrived, she was sure she'd actually found a total bargain. TikTok content creator @london_bite_and_vogue was presented with two towering ice cream cones that came in different colours. She purchased it from Kabul Korner in Harrow, London. At the eatery, you can get huge cones for less than a fiver. A single is £2.50 and a double is £3.50. The foodie opted for two of the single varieties, which come in various flavours including mango and pistachio. Park Holidays estimates that the average price for a Mr Whippy in London is £4.10 – and these are significantly smaller. People think it was well worth the money. Her short clip has garnered more than 525,800 views, 15,600 likes and more than 250 comments, at the time of writing. One said: 'Omg that can't be £2.' Another called it a 'bargain' and a third viewer commented: 'In Italy it will cost you 40 Euros each.' A seemingly big fan of the chilled dessert chimed in: 'Omg yes please I'll take 4.' Others highlighted the appearance of the ice cream as one viewer noted: 'That actually looks so pretty.' However, some people in the comments section weren't keen on the size of the ice cream. A viewer remarked: 'No thanks, way too big. I will stick with the regular ones, plus this is sugar overload!' Another questioned: 'Who could eat all that ice cream?' And another joked: 'This will take me a whole day to finish. By the time I finish it it's gonna be all over my clothes!' If you are planning to travel down to London to get one of the massive ice cream cones, we'd recommend sharing it with a friend before it melts. In the comments section, some also recommended bringing a plastic container along with you. That way, you can transfer the ice cream into the container to stop it spilling all down yourself. It's an ice cream lovers' dream, that's for sure!

'I found little-known UK spot where you can get huge ice cream for bargain price'
Ice cream is a classic summer dessert and a London foodie has found a hidden gem in the capital that serves giant soft-serve ice cream cones for less than you might think More and more it's getting harder to find small luxuries at a low price. As a result of inflation and the rising cost of living, many people have had to cut back on treats like takeaways or desserts but one London foodie has found a little-known spot in the capital city that sells a huge serving of ice cream for less than £5. The social media user @london_bite_and_vogue describes herself as a 'Desi foodie in London' and she focuses on hunting for vegetarian cuisine and hidden gems in the UK. In a video on TikTok, she showed an enormous soft serve ice cream cone that would be perfect to enjoy today (Sunday, July 20) as it is National Ice Cream Day. The clip shows the foodie using an ice cream machine to get two towering ice cream cones with different colours. It has gained significant attention with 525,800 views, 15,600 likes and more than 250 comments, at the time of writing. Although the TikTok user didn't say where she got the huge ice cream from, a user in the comments section revealed that it is from Kabul Korner restaurant and takeaway in Harrow, London. The eatery shared a post on Instagram promoting its huge ice cream cones where it stated that a single is £2.50 and a double is £3.50. This is quite reasonable as according to Park Holidays, the average price for a Mr Whippy in London is £4.10 per ice cream cone. Kabul Korner offers ice cream in various flavours, including mango and pistachio. Viewers who saw the TikTok video by the 'Desi foodie' were shocked at the price of the ice cream. One said: 'Omg that can't be £2.' Another called it a 'bargain' and a third viewer commented: 'In Italy it will cost you 40 euros each.' A seemingly big fan of the chilled dessert chimed in: 'Omg yes please I'll take 4.' Others highlighted the appearance of the ice cream as one viewer noted: 'That actually looks so pretty.' However, some people in the comments section weren't keen on the size of the ice cream. A viewer remarked: 'No thanks, way too big. I will stick with the regular ones, plus this is sugar overload!' Another questioned: 'Who could eat all that ice cream?' Some viewers found humour in how big the ice cream is. One joked: 'This will take me a whole day to finish. By the time I finish it it's gonna be all over my clothes!' Someone who has tried the Kabul Korner giant ice cream shared: 'Been to this place. To start eating this ice cream from a respectable position, you have to hold it down in your ankles.' A different viewer gave a suggestion: 'Bring a large Tupperware so you can put the ice cream and cone in there. And share with friends and family. And save it from falling on the floor.' While a giant soft serve ice cream cone might not be everyone's idea of a great summer dessert, this treat from Kabul Korner is ideal for budget-conscious foodies or those who want something a bit different to a regular ice cream.
