With Spain enjoying some of the highest rates (if not the highest rate) of childhood obesity in the world, there is now a trend for companies to set a maximum number of Kcals for their products aimed at children.
Nestlé have set this maximum at KCal 110 for their own lollies

Whilst the price of those individual ice creams and lollies in the original post is sky high, many families will buy a multipack at a local supermarket.
This means that, for a great deal of Europe, a Calipo costs around 0.5EUR rather than the 3.5EUR shown above.
