    I used to love them but i cant get them anywhere now :( Surely they couldn't have stopped making them??!! They were so delcious and would be absolutely PERFECT on a hot summer's day like today. i want to contact HB and email them( I HEART Fat Frogs that much) but i dont know their email address. Does anyone here love them as much as i do, because i thought we could get a campaign going, like, every Fat Frog fan emailing HB demanding the ice-pops to be brought back, well not exactly 'I demand' but saying how much you loved them and stuff :D Maybe it's just whereabouts where i live, do they only sell them in HB shops, are they in your shops???? xxx:)

    They were here, then they were gone, then they were back for a while, now they are gone again. Much like the Freaky Foot and The Scribbler.

    Does anyone remember the JR ice pop?? Now there was a thirst quencher on a cold day!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,612 ✭✭✭bullets


    Someone at one stage got a response from HB/Walls/Van den burg foods
    to say that Fat Frogs were not going to be making a come back.

    Darn! I was about to post that line! I admit I only know that first line...

    Oh my God, I used to love them! I remember they came back in the shops in 2000-2001 (I remember this because I remember having one on a sunny day whilst studying for an exam, and it melted all over my notes) and then they went away again:( I kinda want one....Right now:p

    They were the all time best ice pops, i don't know why they stopped making them because i think that they were pretty popular.

    But it would be brilliant if they bought them back (again):D they just dont have any great ice creams anymore.....

    next they'll take away our 99's and whipped cones......

    but they are well gone, they bought them back in 2001 and they sold five times as many as they expected to then they dissappeared once again:(

    Yes yes yes.

    Everyone else I talk to about the JR's either don't remember them or don't believe the ever existed. I used to love them.

    Fat Frog's were lovely too. I'd prefer them to bring back the JR.

    They're probably still around but with a different name. The term 'Golly' came under fire from the PC brigade with the resultant disappearance of Golly bars,Jam etc.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 439 ✭✭minister poxbottle


    remember the golly bar wrapers they had little black men on them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,429 ✭✭✭✭star-pants


    Golly Bars are gone IIRC, not even out under a new name.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,672 ✭✭✭tonydude


    golly bars were the best along with the other 2 fat frog and the freaky foot


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,624 ✭✭✭smilerf

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,775 ✭✭✭✭kfallon

    Weren they made by "Valley" ice cream rather than HB though? They used do knock offs of HB such as Brunches that became "Munches" lol :D

    Omg fat frogs were amazin i was only like 4 or 5 when they were round :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,766 ✭✭✭squeakyduck


    I remember before I even started school I used to always get a fat frog as a treat before my mother and I would head into town to go shopping on a Friday, and if I was really good I'd get a box of smarties too! ;)

    Man it was so hard to try and gobble the last two pieces of the lolly on either side of the lollipop stick, I usually got one and the other went on the ground....

    Ah the fun of youth...and the sticky green face! :D

    Yep I could certainly go for a Fat Frog or a Loop the Loop right about now.

    License costs? They would have had to pay Warner Brothers for the rights to Taz while the new charactor is their own design so bigger profit.

    Oh god, that is making me nostalgic - and hungry! Used to love a freaky foot, loved biting off the chocolate toe! I completely forgot about sky bars, yum! Does anyone remember the chocolate taco-thingy they had circa 2000, they were some sexy ice-cream (a half-moon of wafer with choc-nut on the curved part, vanilla ice-cream inside with a caramel ripple - om-nom-nom!) I think I got one in Spain a few years after, I wonder do they still have them there.

    And where did milky moos go?
