    Does anyone know if they're still making Feast ice-creams?
    I hadn't had one for years, then I suddenly decided that I wanted one and couldn't find them anywhere. Say it ain't so.

    There are still feasts, don't panic. Eating off all the ice cream and then going for the mocklate. Best ever.

    They are definitely still making Feasts, they are one of my favourite ice creams :D

    I really miss HB Sparkles - I loved the orange one, but I really really loved the Strawberry & Pear / Strawberry & Apple ones - remember, they were red & white / red & green .... mmmm ... they were sooooooooooooooo nice.

    Bring them back!!

    Melody pops.

    Although they still sell them in some places, so they don't really count, I suppose.

    here you go folks, take a trip down memory lane with this site.

    http://www.aquarterof.co.uk/

    They sell all old time sweets and choccies. Delivery time is about 5 working days but it is quite expensive.

    had to indulge one day. Blackcurrant & Liquorice hmmm...

    You can still get these in the Student Union shops in DIT and some of the older northside convenience shops, like the hilariously named 'Convenient' shop near Phibsboro.

    Wasn't there a pyramid chocolate thing...? It might have been by Terrys. I think it came in mint and mint orange flavours but never proved as popular as their Chocolate Oranges.

    Remember they had a yorkie, it had a black cover - it had roasted nuts and other types of nuts in it - that was gorgeous. It was probably a limited edition. I hate the way they do that...!
