8. Bubblegum Candy Floss – Papa Cream
As the name suggests, this bubblegum flavored ice cream is topped with a string of candy floss. The candy floss is light in texture, and is not overwhelmingly sweet. However, the bubblegum flavor seems to have been lost in the ice cream. If not for the bubblegum flavor, the ice cream is smooth, infused with ice crystals which give it a slightly crunchy nature, and frothy. Our verdict? Given the satisfaction levels, this isn’t worth the price.
