Charlie Francis of Lick Me I'm Delicious is no stranger to making unique flavors of ice cream from raspberry mojito dark port and stilton to roast beef and horseradish. But recently, upon special request from an A-list celebrity client, Francis created an even stranger variation: Viagra-dosed ice cream.
"It’s all very secretive, we’ve had to sign a confidentiality agreement so I can’t reveal the name of the client," said Francis in a press statement. "All I’m allowed to say is it was for a party and that they were very happy with the end result."
According to the makers, the Viagra-laced ice cream has appropriately been named ‘The Arousal’ and each scoop of ice cream contains a 25mg Viagra dose--Viagra is properly known as Sildenafil, and it is used to treat male sexual function problems. As for the exact taste of the ice cream, the ice cream makers add that it is flavored with bubbly champagne.
"We make any flavor of ice cream for people's events. Our client approached us and asked if it was possible. And it was," said Francis to Latin Times. "We spent a couple of days in our development kitchen working on it, incorporating the Viagra was relatively easy, making it taste nicely of champagne was harder."
Viagra is available in various dosages and one of the lower dosages options is 25 mg. Naturally, this raises the question: Does the ice cream have the same effects of taking a Viagra tablet. Francis told Latin Times: "Yes, the client was 'very happy with the end result.'"
Mixing Viagra and ice cream sounds like a recipe for instant success, so we asked Francis about the future of the product and whether it will be available for the general public any time soon.
"Haha, well, if they want it yes, all our ice cream is made custom to each event, so if someone in the future wants Viagra ice cream I'm sure we can make it for them," said Francis.
Earlier this year, Francis debuted glow-in-the-dark ice cream made with the luminescence protein of a jellyfish. The jellyfish proteins are calcium-activated, which means the ice cream begins to glow once the consumer starts to lick it. Due to the ingredients required to create the ice cream, the concoction also comes with a hefty price tag of £140 (or $224, at 0.62 pounds to the dollar) a scoop.
Currently, Francis, who grew up on an ice cream farm in South West Wales, is working on the world's first flammable ice cream and the world's first invisible ice cream.
