I dont know - but although ice cream has been around since ancient times it was always reserved for the very rich until late Victorian times when ice could be made commercially and then a bit later when refrigeration became available. Sugar was also very expensive before about the 18th century when the sugar plantations of the caribbean started up - so if I were to bet I'd say lollipops.

Lollipops of course. They date back to medieval times.

Lollipops have been around since the invention of oral sex.

Many decades ago there used to be a man who cycled round the villages near us selling iced products in a few different forms. This was an expensive treat, people had it at Christmas or Easter. The Victorians were big on dessert/sweet products, they used the cold puddings to show off as it showed their wealth !!

Ice cream was an expensive luxury until about the 1840s, which was the first time it was sold on the streets of London at a price most people could afford.
