Next week, lucky(?) Londoners will be able to get their hands on a free ice-cream - but there’s a twist.

Instead of being topped with sprinkles and chocolate sauce, this ice cream is topped with edible insects from crickets to mealworms. Yummm...
The strange pop-up is being launched to celebrate 100 years of Rentokil Pest Control. The I Scream Van will be offering Clapham locals free edible-insect ice-creams in a variety of flavours.
What’s on the menu?
There are six scream-worthy flavours, each containing a bugged-out blend of sweet and savoury insect ingredients:
- Milk Chocolate Cricketto – Belgian milk chocolate-covered crickets
- Dark Chocolate Cricketto – Belgian dark chocolate-covered crickets
- White Chocolate Cricketto – Belgian white chocolate-covered crickets
- Mealworm Swirl –Dried, crunchy mealworms
- Critter Fudge Crumble – Vanilla and buffalo worm fudge pieces
- 99+1 – The R100 Pestival Cone – A trio of toppings, including plain mealworms, fudge crumble, and a choice of one of the Belgian chocolate-covered cricket options
If you decide to try this, please can you send us photos and a review? I’ve got to know what a Critter Fudge Crumble tastes like.
Taste the thrill and embrace these extraordinary edible creepy crawly one-of-a-kind ice-creams. Rentokil Pest Control’s I Scream Van will kick off its centenary celebration nationwide tour from 20 Northcote Road in Clapham on Tuesday, 8th April from 12:30-3:30pm.
