Favourite Ice-Pops

MW · 23-07-2007 03:54PM #1

Oh back in the days when Sparkles were 10p, and Mr Freeze's were around 7p, what was your favourite Ice-Pops. I remember when 20p was a fortune going to the shop, as for a pound you were well and truly minted. You'd see all the rich kids eating Magnums and Soleros in the Summer (they were all new and mega expensive, like 90p for an ice-pop, were they mad??), we might have stretched to an aul Calippo or Tangle Twister!!! Mostly Fat Frogs or Sparkles though!! How about all of you??

Captain Quenchers for 10p. Did the job... back then.

Although, Dunnes Stores' current own brand Orange Juice Ice Lollies are the best.

I loved Mr. Freezes.
Anyone remember JRs?

crosstownk · 23-07-2007 04:38PM

I remember Little Angels and Red Devils were only 3p :eek: It was hit and miss as to whether or not you got a chocolate covered top or not.

I also remember Hiawatha ice pops - ice cream in the shape of an American Indian's head. Weird.

OOOhhh loved JR's and Rockets (have loads of rockets in the fridge). HB used to have this green ice cream in a tub with sprinlkes from around 1984 can anyone remember what it was called. My favourite was chilly willies in orange and raspberry (made by HB)

uncle ernie · 23-07-2007 07:27PM

fat frogs and cola mr. freezes
i still cant decide if the new fat frogs are much smaller than i remember or if my hands just got bigger:p

Wibbly wobbly wonders, a feast or those ice creams shaped like feet.

Couldn't afford Magnums or any of those fancy ones, I remember when they used to cost around 1 pound!

Yep that was them.

Now with Mr.Freeze, the shop beside our primary school used to give away a free one if you found the number 7 located beside the logo, anyone else have this?

Joeyjoejoe43 · 24-07-2007 05:56AM

Does anyone remember the two tone mr freezes ya could get, they were massive, the red and green one's were lush!

Amalgam · 24-07-2007 06:26AM

Anyone remember one called a milk-pop or something similar, NOT vanilla, was basically a plain white circular ice pop with a fairly odd milky flavour thing going on.

JR's, weren't they 'shot' through with blackcurrent blotches?

little miss · 24-07-2007 02:51PM

The Rocket one was my favourite - it was such a treat!

Drax · 24-07-2007 02:55PM

Still around but the old IceBerger was tasty. Also there used to one called HotShot which was nice. Also Loop The Loops as someone said above!

Sparkles, Fruit Pastilles ice pop, Split, Twisters, Loop the loop
And thats just the start

transylman · 24-07-2007 04:07PM

The shop near our school used to sell melted mr freezes and there was hugh demand for them on hot days. Always preferred them frozen myself.

Also remember golly bars with non-pc packaging being sold well into the nineties.

roberteboot · 24-07-2007 04:08PM

Milky Moos.Genius.Also those two toned Mr Freezes were amazing too.Great thread.

Corruptedmorals · 24-07-2007 04:08PM

Sparkles, Loop the Loops, Rockets, Mr Freezes. Don't remember Fat Grogs first time around. Loved cola Mr Freezes..we called them cool pops..normal ones were 8p, big ones were 12p.

Count Draculas?
Anyway, "blood red" on the inside with a black outside....

Oh yeah, another vote for the Loop the Loop.
Was it those that had the plastic sticks that you could interlink and "make stuff" ?

MooseJam · 25-07-2007 01:20AM

I always used to get an icepop that was just vanilla icecream in a big thick wedge, can't for the life of me remember the name but it was yummy

phasers · 25-07-2007 10:58AM

porky pigs, those lemonade ones

I recently discovered them in a corner shop and I walk about 3 miles to get one

recently I discovered these orange ones with chocolate on top, and they are then single greatest ice pops of the 21st century

"My name is Fat Frog and I live in a swamp...."

They were the best.

What was the one with the green and white ice cream swirls on the outside and then it was red on the inside??

I'd forgotten all about them. I'd hate to think what they used to get the devil ones that particular shade of red. Ddin't stop me eating loads of them at the time though.

Jesus Wept · 25-07-2007 04:03PM

My best friend ate 273 Mr Freezes in one summer, the big ones too, dems were the days.

admiralofthefleet · 25-07-2007 04:06PM
