Twins Marnie and Mylah Green, both aged eight, can be seen in the video.
Marnie launches a rant at the price of the ice creams, which were two for £9, and goes on to slam the ice cream vendor for not accepting cash.
Their aunt Karis Lambert posted the video with the caption: “The cost of living [crisis] is really taking its toll on Marnie”.
In the video Marnie says: “So there’s an ice cream van selling two ice creams, with two chewing gums in it, for bloody £9.... nine quid!”
