Deliveroo’s ranking of the best treats for the heatwave is the latest tier list to divide the internet

It’s hardly surprising that brands have realised tier lists are a great way to annoy the internet and get some good ol’ social media engagement, and as the UK tries to deal with an extreme heatwave on Monday and Tuesday this week, Deliveroo is the latest company to rile up Twitter.

Just four make its ‘god tier’ category – those being the Twister, Solero, Mars bar and the classic ’99 (with a Flake, of course).

Elsewhere on the list are Magnums and Calippos (both ‘top tier’); Fabs, Calippo shots, choc ices, lemonade lollies and rocket lollies (all of these were whacked in ‘mid tier’); and Oreos, Cornettos, a Viennetta and the Fruit Pastilles lolly (in ‘sorry, no’).
