A Saga of Fire and Ice Lollies.

I remember the first time I had Neapolitan ice cream and thought it was miraculous. I would have been about 5 or 6 , in the 1950s. I used to like those lime green icy things with ice cream in the middle. We call things icy poles here but they weren’t called that in London.

Chewbacca Jubbly’s do not engender fond memories for me. I was given a detention after I was caught consuming one at the back of the class, aged 12.

Infinity2 Try Soleros which are pretty much the same as mivvis. They come in tropical and berry varieties.

Infinity2 and everyone one else . It was lovely reliving my childhood through ice cream and lollies. Many of you mentioned my favourites . When my nan was in hospital. Dad used to take my brother and me to the shop opposite while mom visited her. We had raspberry ripple ice cream on a stick. Yum. We used to have a milk lolly they where thin shaped cylinders from the grocers who also sold broken biscuits in large metal tins lined with white paper. Brought by the quarter of a pound .
Happy memories.

I was hoping someone would come up with the name of my favourite lolly sold in the sweet shop. Would have been in the 50s. It was triangular with a thin cardboard wrapping which came off round all three sides. It had a lovely texture to it. Never yet met anyone else who has heard of it, let alone remembers what it was called.

Was it an Everest lolly like soft ice lemonade? RosemaryAnne.

Rosycheeks the name doesn't ring a bell, but it was definitely a soft ice so could well have been that. Thank you.

Everest (as in mountain) would make total sense as we would draw a mountain in that triangular shape. I was beginning to think I'd made it up as I couldn't find anyone who remembered it. Thanks

I think they made it in orange too.

Does anyone remember an ice lolly that had soft toffee at its’ centre attached to the stick it might have been a fruity or chocolatey lolly….
Oh and ice cream boats from the ice cream van- boat shaped plastic container with ice cream and what must have been tinned fruit salad and a sprinkling of chopped nuts I definitely remember my older brother always getting one; this would be* mid 1960s*

Mid60s

Iceland shops are selling lollies like the some of the Barrett's sweets. I got a box of banana shaped flavoured ice cream and they took me right back to my childhood and also doing Funny Feet from the 1980s.

Rosycheeks , yes, I remember it being orange. But the texture was just as you said. Thanks

Just remembered Rossi's icecream in Southend. An Italian family business which recently closed. Part of my childhood eating a cornet from them along the seafront when we lived near there.

The Rossi family are no longer involved but Rossi ice cream is still made in Southend. There are several shops retailing it too.
Some Morrisons and Asdas sell tubs of Rossi ice cream so keep a look out for it.
My Mum used to talk about Rossi ice cream all the time and she lived in Barkingside Ilford at the time.
