remember any of these? :) CIDER BARREL Rumoured to contain 'real' Bulmer's Cider, if sucked in combination with an illicit swig of contraband Top Deck on the school trip back seat, it had the power to convince the class Pogo Patterson that he was feeling "a bit drunk". ---------------------------------- FAB Fab! Long time ago when we was fab. Enduring strawberry, vanilla and chocolate concoction from Lyons Maid, smothered in hundreds-and-thousands and originally endorsed by Lady Penelope. ---------------------------------- FUNNY FEET Majestic frozen pink size seven from Wall's, of which Creamup was a big fan, thanks to its starring role in the Wall's Mini Ha-Ha! Ice Cream Fun Book with Free Dracula Cut-Out Mask, yours for three 'Riddlesticks' and a 14p stamp. Funny Face, the inevitable sequel, comprised a huge beaming strawberry and vanilla face on a stick. ---------------------------------- HAUNTED HOUSE Hammer-era chills and thrills from Lyons Maid back in the 1970s, each lolly depicting one of a bloodcurdling cast of non-copyright horror characters, including Frankenstein's monster, a 'skeleton' and a 'spook', all rendered in realistic food colouring. ---------------------------------- KING CONE Forever trailing behind that operatic Cornetto gondolier ("you must be joking, they're 50p"), the King Cone arrived in your newsie's freezer in 1977. Did decent enough business at the pictures, mind, especially when promoted by that Top of the Pops-style 30-to-one countdown advert ("Lyons Maid - in the foyer now"). ---------------------------------- LOLLY GOBBLE CHOC BOMB The classic three-in-one caper from the 1970s, featuring strawberry ice around a solid chocolate "flavour" centre, with the whole jamboree encased in more choc and those tiny sugar balls. Not to mention the tantalising bonus of a 'Quizstick'. --------------------------------- |

SPACE 1999 September 13, 1999. Massive nuclear explosion. Moon torn out of earth orbit. Time to cool down, then, with a Space 1999 lolly, no doubt as licked by Martin Landau and Barbara Bain themselves. "The amazing new lolly from Lyons Maid. Icy lime flavour, oozy red centre with free picture cards," averred the commercial. ---------------------------------- SUPERMAN It's 1979 and as Christopher Reeve soars to success at the box office, Lyons Maid cash in with a Superman lolly in the never-popular 'cola' flavour. But in a revolutionary move, plastic lollysticks emblazoned with 3D figures of characters from the film are introduced. Few kids could resist the prospect of owning Marlon "Jor-El" Brando, captured in lifelike polythene. ---------------------------------- STAR TREK For all those SCREEN TEST features on Persis Khambatta, STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE was a bit of a flop. Despite a series of free picture cards, Lyons Maid's official lolly of the movie didn't do much better, thanks to a "most illogical" combination of pineapple and orange flavours. ---------------------------------- ZOOM Just one look and then our heart went boom. The timeless rocket-ship ice lolly from Lyons Maid, comprising strawberry, banana and raspberry flavoured horizontal stripes. . . . . . Regrettably, we couldn't find room to include classic frozen delicacies like: tubs with a little wooden spatula, vanilla "bricks" from the newsagents wrapped in newspaper, and those rectangular portions of ice cream that fitted into weird rectangular cornets. Nor alas did the Mini Milk, the Lemonade Sparkle, the Mr Men lollies, the Orange Maid or the Strawberry Mivvi make the cut - whatever a 'mivvi' is. |

25p now... the infinitely better mr men lollies are now Thirty Five Whole English Pence. Being a child of the 80s, i only know fabs and zooms. They were good though. And mr freezees are a perennial summer fave. |

15p?! Crikey. You'll be lucky to find that over here. |

maybe a bit more, i cant remember to be honest as i also bought two jamaican ginger beers. that plus two mr freezes made up to 5 francs. but the drinks are two that i know, so the lollies were 50 ct each wich is maybe 22p nowdays. the make is zed pops apparently, wich i never recalled. |

strawberry mivvi = strawberry split my personal favourite was a feast, probably because it was more expensive than anything else. i guess you can still get them? |

I haven't had a feast in years... i think they were pretty much obliterated in the magnum marketing-fest of a few years back. Those zap lollies were nice, although they looked like they'd been composed entirely of the rancid scrapings from the bottom of the ice cream van freezer. |

I remember being a kid and going to the ice cream van with a mate to buy lollies. For some reason we started pissing ourselves laughing when we saw you could buy a 'Freaky Foot'. The guy in the ice cream van said 'imagine how I feel when the girls ask me for a Finger'. |
