Forgotten Ice Creams And Lolly’s Of Your Childhood

With summer almost upon us and holiday season quickly approaching we are taking it back a few years to stir some fond memories of your childhood favourites. What Ice creams and lolly’s can you remember from back in the day?

1. Ice pops – A frozen tube of flavoured ice wrapped in clear plastic. A cheap favourite for those hot days as a kid. Just rip the top off and enjoy.
   
   
2. Screwball - An upside down triangular tub filled with ripple ice cream, and the bottom held that bubble gum surprise for you.
3. Lemonade Sparkle – This white lolly packed with a fizz was a perfect thirst quencher; full of a strong lemon flavour.
4. Cider Barrel – Did you spend afternoons sucking on these pretending you were a little drunk? Unfortunately there wasn’t actually any alcohol within them. Tasting predominantly of sour apples.
5. Big sundae cups – Complete with a wooden spoon to scoop it up, this was a classic if you had a pence to spare. After the top layer you would get down to the fudge or strawberry filling.
6. Push up pop – An efficient way to enjoy an ice cream treat on the go. Once only available in orange sherbet flavour, it came around to be found in many an ice cream flavour.
