Get your frozen treat before it's gone.

The HUMIDITY.

We have been absolutely blessed with the weather in Ireland over the last few weeks and luckily, it’s set to continue this weekend with reports of temperatures rising as high as 25 degrees.

This will come in handy for those travelling to Robbie Williams and The 1975 over the weekend as they will be able to enjoy some summer vibes while listening to some great music in the sunshine.

Something that goes hand-in-hand with catching some scorching rays is a nice frozen treat and the kingpins of that world, HB, have revealed that more than 100 ice creams will be consumed every minute this weekend.

That sounds like a lot of ice creams, in fact, it will mean that 288,000 of HB’s products will be sold over the two-day period (that’s enough to fill the capacity of Croke Park, four times over) and to coincide with this massive feat, HB has revealed Ireland’s most in-demand ice cream.

Results show the iconic Iceberger is the nation’s number one choice when it comes to choosing a frozen treat. Figures indicate that almost 700 Icebergers will be snapped up every hour this weekend.

Following on from Iceberger comes the ever-popular Brunch. HB estimates that 500 Brunch ice creams will be devoured every hour across the country over the next two days.

In third place is the Maxi Twist. This much-loved ice cream is predicted to please the palates of ice cream lovers every 9 seconds during the sunny spell.

To celebrate the good weather, HB will surprise and delight the public by popping up unannounced at various locations in Dublin.

In raising funds for Down Syndrome Ireland, HB’s charity partner, people are encouraged to tweet pictures of themselves with life-size HB ice creams using the #HBShareHappy.
