They are real fatteners - these small, round, colorful calorie bombs.
But who would want to do without them?
The fun ends with your favorite ice cream.
Whether in a waffle or in a bag.
Who cares about the calories - especially on hot days like this.
Munich - Summer temperatures well over 30 degrees.
People need a cool down every now and then.
One jumps into the cooling water, the other runs to the nearest ice cream parlor he trusts.
Whether in a cup or in a waffle cone - the main thing is tasty and refreshing.
But if you have the choice, you are often spoiled for choice with the large selection of ice cream flavors.
From the classics vanilla, chocolate, stracciatella, strawberry, yoghurt, pistachio, hazelnut and cream cherry to unusual varieties such as grandma's apple pie, pumpkin nougat, peanut pretzel and chestnut sorbet with rosemary and pine nuts.
Anyone who thinks that chocolate is still the absolute leader when it comes to eating ice cream is wrong.
As a survey of 1,000 respondents from the online portal
Comparison.org
now shows.
Vanilla is now one of the favorite varieties in this country.
Comparison of ice cream flavors: Vanilla ice cream is the front runner
More than 19 percent said in the survey that they like vanilla ice cream best.
This gives the ice cream variety number one.
Hazelnut comes in second with almost 17 percent.
Followed by stracciatella - the ice cream with chocolate chips.
The strain scores 16.5 percent in the poll ranking.
Only now does the cocoa classic chocolate follow and scores with 16.3 percent among those surveyed.
That still results in a "good" fourth place - after all, there are no medals for performance in the ice ranking.
Introduced from Mexico by Spanish conquistadors in the 16th century, vanilla
was initially used in cocoa until Queen Elizabeth I's pharmacist, Hugh Morgan, suggested a separate use.
Artificial vanilla flavoring is often used to flavor the vanilla ice cream.
However, the highest possible percentage of real vanilla is a
decisive quality criterion

The rest is easy to tell: Strawberries also took fifth place, and yoghurt ice cream took sixth place.
The remaining percentage points are distributed to Nougat, Salted Caramel and After Eight.
Comparison of ice cream flavors: Crazy flavors with cheese, mustard and trout as alternatives
Every taste is different.
And you can argue about him.
Because there are also quite weird ice cream variants, as the video at the bottom of the article shows.
These include flavors such as blue cheese ice cream, rose cream ice cream, asparagus sorbet ice cream or sugared smoked eel ice cream.
Well then, bon appetit.
For those who prefer to buy ice cream in supermarkets and discount stores instead of buying a scoop in the ice cream parlour, consumer advocates from
Öko-Test
have examined 19 varieties of vanilla ice cream and 20 popular chocolate varieties.
Most of them pass the test.
Only a few are waiting for the testers with a nasty surprise.
