‘Bloody £9 for two’: TikTok twins rage at ice-cream van prices

Eight-year-olds’ video, which racked up 14m views, hits a sore point for mobilers who have struggled with the cost of living

That was the damning verdict of an eight-year-old whose TikTok rant over the cost of two screwballs from an ice cream van in the park has racked up 14m views at the time of writing.
