Aye, there was a Freaky Foot and a Bigfoot

The original Bigfoots (oops) were just strawberry icecream.

I used to love Icebergers! Had one last weekend but it was a lot smaller than I remember it and in plastic wrapping as opposed to the paper wrapping that was on all goodies of yesteryears!

Gollybars were lovely too, and AFAIK, are still available.

And when funds were low (as they usually were back then) I used to make do with Sparklers which were 10p at the time! I used to get a lot of them along with Golf Ball penny chewing gums! ww)

Going way back, there used to be an ice-pop called a 'Tip Top', which was along the lines of a Wibbly Wobbly Wonder, except the wibbly bit really was jelly-like.

If you did the usual kid thing of nipping off the chocolate covering, nine times out of ten your 'tip-top' tip fell on the ground, and necessitated a scraping off the path back onto the stick, complete with traces of dog-poo, hairs and whatever other detritus the jelly picked up off the path.

They built us hard in the sixties.

They were made in Thurles by Valley Ice Cream. It went bust years ago. They made loads of ice pops, and, you know, I can't remember any of them just now :mad:

Ah thanks, it's Funny Feet I remember - they were the ones with the soft strawberry ice cream. Turns out that I don't remember Bigfoots at all.

There's at least 3 shops in Newbridge that sell them - but I'm sure you'll find them in many of the older sweetie shops around the country. Haven't found any in Dublin yet though.

I remember them, but even at the time I knew that they were just lumps of ice, with a bit of flavouring thrown in on top...:D

Cola was my favourite.

Does anybody else remember the ice pops made on the premises by Ladola's chipper in Cork St? There were 2 basic types, pink with a yellow top and brown with a yellow top. They had no names except pink and brown but they were delicious.
