Streets Paddle Pop Banana

This is a very short review. I loved them for decades. Then they changed the formula and they tasted awful. But I am happy to say they now taste like they used to.

Ruined! – They ruined them, that simple. I will never buy another paddle pop, not ever. Chucking the rest of the box in the bin! Tastes watery and nothing like they used to be, yuck! Show details

Disappointed – So purchased my fav paddle pop flavour recently from Coles and was really looking forwards to getting my teeth into the smooth, creamy, slightly icy concoction of banana flavoured goodness melt in my mouth... Unfortunately, all I got was a really tasteless, cardboard-y, powdery textured bite snap into my mouth ...ate the one thinking "did I get a… Read more

bad one" before realising they've changed the bloody recipe! Still have 7 sitting in the freezer. Apparently they're healthier now and can be sold in schools. But to compromise taste and texture so significantly...I'm sure a happy medium could've been found. Another piece of my childhood gone.

My childhood favourite is ruined – Today I bought 2 banana paddle pops for the first time in about 15 years. They were my childhood favourite. I am now 51. The first thing I noticed was how thin they were! The smell was different. The flavour was odd! Not right at all! And there was no creaminess to the texture!! It was very icy. Incredibly disappointed, and will never buy again… Read more

. What a poor decision on the part of the company to cut costs in the production , but at what cost long term with sales??!!! Very sad!

Texture changed “ – Most good things come to an end “ and unfortunately banana paddle pops have. No longer smooth and creamy. Thank goodness for Barney Bananas “ still smooth and creamy. Goodbye paddle pops. Show details

8 PACK IS BACK – So happy!!! 8 packs are back at woolworths!!! Yum! Bought these again this week, forgot how good they were before the 6 pack Show details

Wrecked banana – They have changed the formula. Powdery taste and not banana! Tastes yuck. Not buying anymore. Show details

Scam 6 pack and terrible new flavor – Absolute scam from streets here, pack size reduced to 6 pack for a similar price the 10 pack was on sale for!!! Wow, we must be dumb if a company thinks something like this is going to fly. Terrible new flavor/texture, I honestly didn’t even finish mine, and will be returning the rest to woolworths. Show details

Changed flavour... not happy – The flavour has changed since the change to brown wrappers. Strange creamy taste but no banana taste at all any more. Not buying again. Please DON'T change rainbow or chocolate. They are still ok. Show details

Not Happy, Streets – We bought a box of Streets Banana Paddle Pops, and when the box was opened we found the first change - the wrapper is brown, not yellow. Looks like a colour more suitable for caramel flavour. The flavour is different, and not particularly pleasant. The consistency has changed, and is more friable and breaks easily. Overall - not impressed with the new style. Please change it back. Show details

Please change back to old recipe – My partner and I got a pack of banana paddle pops tonight and the amount per box has changed and even the wrapping colour of the paddle pop. We thought it was chocolate because of the colour of the wrapper then opened it and it was a banana but tasted different, creamier but not the same taste. Please change it back to the original recipe we loved it but this one was horrible. Show details

Like eating chemicals – I bought a box of banana paddle pops as I found myself in Woolworths after always buying coles banana ice creams, which are delicious I might add. I was shocked that this main brand does not even come close to the coles branded banana paddle pop. I can’t believe anyone at streets who has tasted these things could ever put the streets name on them.… Read more

I ended up throwing them away because they just aren’t edible. It tastes like they were laced with nail polish. Get your act together Streets!

Still as good as ever – I’m 23 and remember eating banana paddle pops as a kindergartener. No artificial colours or flavours anymore so even better, if only the size hadn’t shrunk a bit as I need two to get my fix!

How embarrassing for Streets to be turning out such garbage – I will focus on being factual and objective... Streets Paddle Pops are garbage...This is from someone who has been enjoying for 50 years.

Terriable – Can,t believe had to give one star to get through this did not no you could make a paddle pop that small . happy to say will not buy again .how hard up a these malty national so called people in charge for a dollar go and get a life . another great Australian product down the drain thank you for nothing.

Terrible – I have not had a Streets Banana Paddle Pop for 20 years and decided to try one for nostalgia's sake. It tasted very artificial to me, nothing like the old creamy banana paddle pop. It says there is nothing artificial in it but I could not finish it and had to throw out the rest of the packet by melting them down the sink. Consistency was softer… Read more

than the original, colour was more yellow than the originaal, taste stronger and more artificial than the original. Very disappointing.

Artificial taste.

Excellent – Great treat for kids as they have no artificial colours or flavours. They are good size for children and are light in colour so that they don't stain clothes as some of the bright coloured more 'icey' ice blocks do. I would not hesitate giving my son one of these for a treat. They were a favourtie of mine as a child too and I still love the… Read more

banana taste. They also don't break the bank as they are reasonably priced. These are fantastic for kids. If I buy my son an iceblock from the local store I buy a Paddle Pop (however he normally goes for the rainbow one). I really like the banana flavour. They are a well priced treat. Can't think of any cons.

Excellent – I've never liked anything banana flavoured, not the fruit or the lollies, however this was different. This ice cream is very refreshing after dinner. No artificial colour or flavour. I've never tasted an ice-cream with such mouth bursting flavour so I like that unique aspect. The Paddle Pop's are usually one of the cheapest ice creams at corner shops and supermarkets.
