If you can't handle the heat this week, supermarket Aldi is here to save the day with its array of freezer favourites. From watermelon lollies to invigorating ice blitz lollies, Aldi's selection of hydrating snacks are inspired by well-known competitors, for a fraction of the price! Slide on down to your local store this week and bag yourself something 'n-ice' and cool.

Ready to rehydrate you this summer are Aldi's Gianni's Watermelon Ice Lollies (99p, pack of 3). Much like Rowntrees £1.90 version*, these juicy lollies are bursting with fruity flavour and are perfect for keeping you cool, for less. Only containing sixty-three calories per lolly, you don't even have to feel guilty when indulging! 

Another firm ice lolly favourite is the Twister, available in most supermarkets for £2.20*. Aldi has introduced its own version of these swirly sticks in the form of Gianni's Mini Whirlz (£1.59, pack of 8), which look and taste just as good as the original, but for a fraction of the price. Made up of strawberry, lemon and lime-flavoured ice with hints of creamy vanilla, these lollies are both sweet and refreshing all in one. 

Aldi's Gianni's Ice Blitz lollies (99p, pack of 6) are also a freezer favourite to get your hands on this week. Modelled on the notorious Fab lollies, which cost £1.90*, these sweet treats provide a combination of strawberry and vanilla flavoured ice to keep you hydrated, a chocolate coating to satisfy your sweet tooth and lots of sugar sprinkles for that extra fun factor. At just over half the price of the original, Aldi's budget version is even more appealing! 

Topping off Aldi's freezer favourites this week are Gianni's Bobble Mania lollies (99p, pack of 4). Based on the Nobbly Bobbly classic, which are on sale for £1.90*, Aldi's more affordable version might be lesser in price, but are certainly no lesser in flavour. Boasting the same strawberry and chocolate ice cream centre and covered in sweet sugar balls, this cheaper alternative will leave you just as refreshed and satisfied, with pennies to spare!

Notes to editors:

Aldi is Britain's fifth largest supermarket with 880 stores and more than 34,000 employees.

Aldi is attracting hundreds of thousands of new customers every year with its range of exclusive brands, passing low operating costs on to customers in the form of low prices.

The supermarket believes in making every day amazing and that's why every single day Aldi delivers on the best possible value for millions of families throughout the UK and Ireland across everything from award-winning fresh produce to world class gin.

Aldi won't be beaten on price; consistently racks up award after award for quality; treats its suppliers with fairness and respect and recognises the responsibility of supporting valued institutions such as Team GB to demonstrate the importance of health and wellness. That's Aldi. That's everyday amazing. The reason they do this? Because Aldi believes that everyone should have access to fresh, healthy, affordable food…it's a right, not a privilege.

 The company's current achievements and initiatives include:

• Aldi is the UK's lowest priced supermarket. Research released by Which? showed that Aldi is 19% cheaper, on average, than the Big Four supermarkets. It tracked the price of more than a hundred items at the UK's eight biggest supermarkets throughout March 2020.
• Aldi has a five-year partnership with Teenage Cancer Trust – its fundraising target of £5m will go towards helping the trust to reach out to every young person with cancer in the UK. 
• Aldi's rates of pay are significantly higher than the Government's National Living Wage and also above the Living Wage Foundation's recommended national rates. Store Assistants receive a minimum hourly rate of £9.40 nationally and £10.90 in London. 
• Aldi is the official supermarket partner of Team GB and ensures every member of the team has access to fresh healthy Aldi food via monthly shopping vouchers, and that 1.2 million 5-14 year olds will learn about the benefits of cooking fresh, healthy food via its Get Set to Eat Fresh education initiative. Aldi has been a partner since 2015 and has extended its commitment to the 2024 Olympic games in Paris.
• In June 2019, for the sixth consecutive year, Aldi was ranked the best-performing supermarket for compliance with the Groceries Supply Code of Practice, underlining its commitment to maintaining fair, predictable and sustainable prices within its supply chain.
