    Remember the day when we had this much of a selection to choose from in the shop. Now we have a lot less than that and its actually hard enough to find a plain orange Ice Lollie

    What happened and why aren't some of these legends around anymore ??

    They've been replaced by tubs of ice-cream the obese people in Ireland need more than one Ice-Lolly.

    Golly Bar was removed because of its racist wrapper.

    I thought this was gonna be an ice pop tournament like the delicious chocolate one from yesterday.

    I seldom buy any for myself, but occasionally buy some in Tesco to have in my freezer for any children passing through my home.

    It was just renamed as a Giant Bar. Racist against tall people.

    I never used the term lolly either, only ever heard it up north where that's what they called Me Freezers. Always an ice pop.

    Also regarding names, when did people start putting the word 'super' before split?

    Orange with chocolate on top or was that a Rocket?

    I thought they were always Super Splits and I’m nearly 40.

    Get an ice-lolly mould and a few cartons of juice and make your own.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Someone was on the rubber bandits Twitter feed this am..

    I have vague, vague memories of the red finger lolly being advertised with the " he went thataway" line from them, would have been the mid eighties.

    Going without a school dinner, and spending the money on a lolly from the "grocery van" was the thing back then.

    Yeah, cultchie here.

    I'm talking the Al Jolson type figure on the cover it was removed because of racial overtones.

    Solero are doing lovely lollies at the moment with the bonus that they’re organic and have=a lovely fruity filling in the centre. I have the lemon & peach versions in my freezer right now and they’re under 60 cals each. The lemon is particularly good.

    The Aldi Whirlz, a dupe for Twisters, are very nice also and under 50 cals.

    I've already had three of the ice-pops in the OP today. A cola Calippo, an Orange Split/Super Split, and a Wibbly Wobbly Wonder (although the Aldi version of it, Jiggly Pops).

    Calippos kept me alive at the Spanish GP a few years ago and Hungarian GP last year.

    Yeah, tall people are the new blacks. ;)

    I always use the term 'ice-pop' too.

    And with regards the the Super Splits, I think that was just a bit of tweaking in the marketing. I remember then as Orange Splits and Super Splits but I can't say for definite whether the 'Super' was always there.

    All these discussions focus on the golly bar.

    Like most things they just don't make them like they used to. Brunches are the prime example. There is hardly any biscuit coating on them these days compared to before.

    Also, when they last brought back the Freaky Foot and the Fat Frog they were pale imitations of before. For example; i don't think the big toe had a coating of chocolate anymore.

    Tangle Twister was another one they fcuked around with..... think they may have changed the vanilla ice cream to orange or something for a while?

    If we have an ice pop (for that's what they're called) competition, then the Fat Frog has to be in there. Bring it back!

    Too many posh chocolate things these days. A proper refreshing ice pop is water, sugar, colour. Nothing else. Sparkles, Fat Frog, Calippo, Mr Freeze, Fruit Pastilolly...

    Could be a good competition actually!

    Hmmm I may just run it again...

    Could have a crisps one. Biscuits. Soft drinks.

    Screw it, I'll jack in the job.
