Tesco Produce buying manager David Daniels said:
“Iced watermelon is the perfect accompaniment to a hot summer’s day. These thirst-quenching frozen lollies, made from a real piece of fruit, are a delicious and healthy alternative to a sweet treat for all the family.”
The watermelon lollies will be sold in a pack of four for £2 and will be available in more than 500 Tesco stores across the country.
Over the course of the weekend Tesco also estimated the following sales:
- More than 1 million bagged salads
- 5 million punnets or 600 tonnes of strawberries
- 750,000 melons
