A mum has urged parents to get a 1p ASDA product to help during the hot summer. As the weather is getting hotter, an ice lolly is the treat that everyone loves to cool themselves down. However, with the hot temperatures an issue comes with the ice lolly melting before you can finish it.
Mum of four and TikTok star Shannon Doherty stepped in to share a foolproof way to stop drips using an everyday kitchen item - cupcake cases, reports OK! She pointed out that cupcake linings, which can be bought in a packet for £1 and so amount to approximately 1p each, can be pushed up the stick in twos or more.
That way they can easily catch any drips before they become a problem and get all over children and their clothes. Showing her daughter snacking on an ice pop at the beach, Shannon said they easily create “no drip pops” for all the family.

However, that’s not the cupcake case's only use - as Shannon has revealed to other parents ahead of the summer months. Simply push a straw through the bottom of the casing to create a paper lid for each glass you’re drinking from.
Another genius hack is to use them as little snack holders for when you’re in the garden or on the beach. All you have to do is fill up the case with your chosen sweet or savoury treat and hand them out on a tray.
The three simple but effective hacks went down a storm with Shannon’s loyal TikTok followers.
One said: “Who knew they were so versatile.”
While another told the savvy mum: “How do u think this all up!!! Genius”
