old ice pops

Quatre Mains · 27-02-2004 01:02AM #1

- the recent thread about the old chocolate bar reminded me of all the old ice pops we used to get as kids. I can remember 3 off the top of my head, all are HB -

Haiawatha - this was different shades of brown soft ice cream in the shape of an
injun head

JR - orange and wine colour ice pop named after Dallas' finest - they even had a Stetson beside it on the poster that had all the ice pops and prices :rolleyes:

Angel - cheap white ice pop, lovely

- anyone care to list off some more?

Nogger ? Think it was HB alright. But check this, I saw it on sale in Slovakia not so long ago! I had to buy it for old times sake....Yum.

Mr E · 27-02-2004 11:45AM

Loved JRs..... Your mouth would be purple for an hour after eating one, though

All of these still exist as far as I know.
Do they still do Icebergers? The icea cream in between the biscuity stuff like a sandwich/burger??

Calypso... are they still around?

Tangle Twisters aren't the same anymore. Not as zingy!

Yup, far as I know Iceburgers are still around and damn tasty they are too. Haven't seen a Calypso in a while though. Tangle Twisters...still avilable, but got a lot smaller since back in the day. (Or maybe I've grown.........nah!)

My favourites used to be Feast, Brunch, good old reliable Choc-Ice or Orange Split, (none of your fancy-schmancy Magnum, oh no!) and a LONG time ago, a lolly called "Scribblers"

Fnuckin' gorgeous!

God. It's snowin' outside and all I want is an ice-cream!

Were they called Gollywogs? I'm not sure, memories a bit faded on this one. The name had to be changed for P.C. reasons?

Errr... whoops! :dunno: Could have sworn they were called Gollywogs, as bad and all as it sounds! My bad.

Noddy...good God! What was I thinking? :rolleyes:

Walter Ego · 27-02-2004 02:16PM

Robertson's Jams used to have a Golly as its symbol. They even had promotions such as collect so many labels and get a metal enamalled Golly badge playing a musical instrument. There was a whole band to collect.

Alas they were obviously corrupting us and had to be stamped out before it warped any more young minds.

Kalina · 27-02-2004 02:32PM

Wasn't there a red devil ice pop at one stage, something like a Fat Frog only red? They were nice, very sweet.

SheroN · 27-02-2004 02:36PM

I was banned from eating red devils when i was young coz they used make me hyper and go crazy.

The way I remember it, it was the number 7's that got you a freebie. Same with Postman Pat penny sweets.

Blank Space's · 29-02-2004 02:12AM

Here's a good one for ye - My girlfriend is pregnant a she has a crav'in for Tangle Twister's or Tongue Twister's as they used to be called. She has about 5 a day !!!!

girella · 29-02-2004 05:50PM

how about bigfooots.
they were yummy strawberry and vanilla foot with chocolate toes were they not?

sceptre · 29-02-2004 06:44PM

I rather liked Robin Hoods. Made by leadmore (which also meant they were hard to get) and far nicer than the old square Chilly Willys.

Aren't Tangle Twisters just called "Twisters" now?
