Filipino fast-food chain Jollibee has been rapidly expanding in recent years. It recently launched a viral product — ice cream-covered French fries.

Jollibee isn't the first chain to encourage fries-and-ice-cream combos.

The UK was experiencing a heatwave, so I decided to try Jollibee's cooling dessert.

Within the store, Jollibee is clearly pushing the product due to its popularity on TikTok.

While ordering, I asked the cashier how popular the fries had been. They said the dish had been met with a lot of curiosity.

Making it appeared simple enough: A worker took a box of fries and placed them directly under the soft-serve machine.

Presented in a large box, the dish is very simple, and not the most elegant of presentations.

I was given a fork but found the dish was much easier to eat with your hands — albeit messier.

Overall, the salty and sweet combination was better than I thought it would be, but the fries were soggy before I even started eating.

I did enjoy it, but I probably won't order them again.
