Dua Lipa’s Unusual Ice Cream Toppings Has Stirred Up a Virtual Storm

Weird food combinations are not uncommon on the internet. We’ve seen a lot of them in recent years, and for the most part, many have learned not to judge. Still hearing about some will have you wondering just how far people can go.

Last week, famous musician Dua Lipa was in an interview discussing her new single, “Houdini,” on BBC Radio 1. In between talks about music, she also shared her thoughts on chocolate ice cream and a very interesting topping preference that got a mixed reception.

Dua Lipa’s Unique Ice Cream Topping Preference

Our popular pop princess puts olive oil on her ice cream. But that’s not all she likes to add.

“I don’t think chocolate ice cream is that good,” she said. “…But you know what I love? So I get vanilla ice cream, and I put olive oil on it, and sea salt…so many people that I’ve shown it to I’ve brought to the dark side.”

BBC Radio 1’s Instagram (@bbcradio1) posted a clip of Dua’s ice cream preferences with the caption, “Thoughts on @dualipa’s unusual ice cream additions?”

It was an invitation for netizens to share their opinions, and it is exactly what they did. The comments section quickly got flooded with a wide range of opinions about the fact that Dua Lipa puts olive oil on her ice cream.

How The Internet Reacted

Responses ranged from negative to positive and everything in between. “That is a criminal offense,” wrote user @benbeezy_. Another user, @liviegee, called to have her imprisoned, writing, “Girl…JAIL.”

Others were not so enthusiastic about sentencing her to life behind bars but were merely intrigued. @laughta1 wrote, “That’s a new one, olive oil! But don’t knock it till ya try it, I guess!” User @krisandpip echoed a similar sentiment, asking, “Please tell me if somebody tried it and liked it.”

A considerable number of commenters rose to Dua Lipa’s defense, too, with some even citing personal experience. “BiRite Creamery in San Francisco was my gateway to olive oil and sea salt on ice cream over a decade ago,” said @stephporterco. “It’s ridiculously good.”

As it stands netizens are split between those who would never give it a go, the ones who are confused but interested in trying, and the ones who are totally down for it. While it is a divisive food combination, it may gain some popularity as more people try it for themselves.
