Lost Ice Creams & Lollies You May Have Forgotten 

I can remember us as kids having cider lollies....we used to stagger around afterwards pretending we were drunk! 😂

The late 60's to mid 70's was a fabulous time to be a kid. I have so many wonderful memories. Halcyon days, indeed. Sadly, sadly missed.

Screwball ice cream in a plastic cone shape, it had a bubbly at the bottom, I remember big feet lollies and before the feast became small it was called big feast. Sad times when you get rid of what makes us happy. I wondered what happened to mini milk, thanks for the memories.

Anyone else collect lolly sticks (that had jokes on them), that were on the pavements!

King Kong easily had to be my favourite. Banana flavoured outer shell with a gooey toffee centre, bloody phenomenal.

I truly feel sorry for the kids of today missing out on all of these - I remember the Dracula lolly turning your tongue black :D The cider one was probably my favourite

I used to like the rasberry Mivvi. I can't remember who made it but it had a delicious and refreshing raspberry ice shell with a high quality vanilla ice-cream centre. My nan used to buy them when she went out shopping and would keep it in the freezer for me! There was a strawberry version that was nice, however the raspberry one was my favourite.

Thanks for the memories - especially the one with the blue skeleton drawing, I had lost that memory until I saw that picture.

The ingredients in the ice cream was better than the trash used these days

I loved the Lord Toffingham lolly as well as the cider one and FAB as well

BOOM!!!! The milk haunted house with the blue skeleton.... NEVER thought i would see one of those again. From a petrol station on Herringthorpe Valley road from about 1978...

Funny faces and Big Foot were definitely the posh option, but value for money has to go to those frozen pyramid ices. In the grim North they were called jubblies. OK, maybe it was a 'frozen drink'; as Google suggests, but to my recollection a Jubbly was the frozen version of a wagon wheel or cinder toffee - a lot of sweet stuff for your 10p.

I'm so glad I was a kid in the. 60's and 70's. So very grateful.

4:49 Even in the 1980s Wall's ice lollies always had jokes printed on the sticks! My nan always used to have Mini Milks in the freezer during the summer. The jokes never got any better, though.

Funny faces never looked like they should. They always looked like they'd had a stroke.

Gosh, us 70s kids were so damn lucky to have had so much choice growing up as well as Long warm summers, water fights using an empty washing up liquid bottle, pretending we were drunk after drinking a can of Top Deck. So many happy memories.. born in the 70s, growing up in the 80s

The magnifico, it was like a huge Cornetto!

I was always the odd one in the neighbourhood when I opted for Oysters rather than "normal" ice cream! I can still taste that chocolate with coconut sprinkles and whatever that "creamy" filling may have been, possibly marshmallow but more likely a cocktail of E numbers and calories ;) Great video Stuview!

I can barely believe how cheap these things were, in a similar vein how big a proper 6d Mars Bar was nor how big a Wagon Wheel was...in its open sleeve packet. How many of us found discarded pop bottles gave them a wash and returned them to the shop to pay for sweets and ice creams.

7:50 we were just saying how we’d forgotten all about the Cornet till was watching this, the oblong lump of vanilla ice cream that slotted in to the square cone perfectly 😊 great memories Stu, thank you as per usual.

My parents ran a newsagent shop so I remember a lot of them. During the summer of ‘76 I ate 4 dinosaurs in one afternoon!. The one I didn’t see was a mint choc chip choc ice called ‘Midnight Mint’. They were delicious

My favourite was always the Haunted House entirely because of the surprise pictures. I remember the Dracula one as being really messy, they melted quickly and you ended up covered in sticky, black melted lolly. Not a lolly but does anyone remember a powder you mixed with milk and froze to make “ice cream”? My granny used to make it, I want to say it was something you ordered from the milkman, but I’m not sure.

I didn’t know I needed to see this! In the mid 70’s my summer job was driving an ice-cream van around the estates of St Albans for the ice-cream maestro Mr Tominey. Mr Tominey made his own scoop ice cream, and people would wait for his vans to come round rather than Mr Whippy vans. I remember some quite tense stand-offs between Mr Tominey’s vans and the other branded ice-cream vans. When it rained Mr Tominey’s drivers used to skive off to play pool in a pub in Fishpool street where we could hide our ice-cream vans around the back, until some nosey woman dobbed us in to Mr Tominey. He was a nice man though and didn’t even sack me after I crashed one of his vans. I was only 17, and left quite a bit of blue paint on various bollards and lamp posts around St Albans. It was great to be reminded of those happy days and of Dalek Death Rays, Count Draculas, Funny Feet, Fab etc… Thanks!!

lemonade sparkle and zapp

It was Mr.Softee or Esposito who sold it in their vans in my area.

The B.A Baracus cola ice lolly in the 80s was one of my favourites but hardly anyone remembers it

The good old days!!! So glad I grew up in the 70s and 80s we had really good times 😃

My favourite childhood Ice cream (and still is) is the Nobbly Bobbly

Tuned in for the ‘Central’ jingle, stayed for the memories!

Walls Cornish ice cream bricks that the sweet shop man would put between two wafers.

My favourite was a Toffee Crumble. Others I liked were Funny Feet, Screwballs (I know you can still get them), Zoom (ditto) and definitely a long frog shaped ice lolly (i.e. not a Fat Frog) whose name I cannot recall. There are probably others that I liked, however the memories of them are hidden in the deepest depths of my brain.

Ah the endless summer & so much to choose from, the young today don't know what they're missing, 😎👍👍

Feet!!! Eeewww! But lovely creamy lolly, my favourite!

Count Draculas, Haunted House & Heart were my favourites, what great memories.

Just a excellent presentation. Where would we be without people like you making the effort!

Great show. Love it. I dont remember to much about the lolly scene due to no spare money. We had broken ice cream cones given to us by kind ice cream men such as Mr Softee

Back in the 1970s I used to buy an ice cream from the ice-cream van, & if I am not mistaken it was called a Push Up. It came in a plastic holder & you had to push the handle through the hole so the ice cream would pop up. It was a combination I think of ice-cream & yoghurt, & it was good. Nothing like that it on the market now. Mivvies were great too especially the raspberry one. Cola ice lollies, although you can sometimes find them they are not as good as they were back then.

Excellent video! 👏 Walls Heart was my favourite, must of eaten hundreds of them! 🙂👍

I loved funny faces plus I remember a pink skeleton shaped lolly or did I just dream that! 🤪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Now I remember why I like cider so much, it was the cider quench I used to have. I didn't see the Gumball, Ice-cream with the round chewing gum in the bottom. But my all time favourite was the Midnight Mint, basically a mint choc-ice.

In the north west of England there was a local ice cream company called "Pendleton's" based in Kirkby Merseyside. Amongst other sweets / ice creams they made was one called the Pendleton's "Twicer". The TV advert for them is one of my earliest memories. (Sadly it demonstrates the power of TV on young minds seeing as I remember it all these years later....) There was a young girl from southend Who only had tuppence to spend But what could be nicer Than a Pendleton's "Twicer" ice cream with a lolly each end. I've since found out the jingle was read out by "That's Lifes" Cyril Fletcher... Now there's another memory. Thanks for this Stu, GREAT nostalgia as ever.

Loved Lord Toffingham, strawberry Mivvi too. On holiday, me and my brother had 99s with flake, adults had little tubs of vanilla ice cream with wooden spoons. Where I lived we had an Italian ice cream seller, Sivoris. It was really white ice cream, served in a cornet, absolutely delicious.

Count Dracula's were my favourite. Lips used to be black after eating one! With that jelly and ice cream centre they were amazing. also loved Funny faces, red Arrows and the Dalek ones. These were just available from ice cream vans too if i remember rightly? Also used to love them shells that the ice cream man would fill up with ice cream. Or sometimes on a Sunday. My mum would send me out to the ice cream man to fill a tub full of ice cream so we could have it after our dinner. Happy days :)

I need a lemonade lolly now. please don't stop doing what you do. This and the forgotten fizzy pop video resonate hard with my late 80's and early 90's childhood

I still love a fab even now. I think they give me a nostalgic trip whenever I have one 😂

Just starting to watch … wonder if pineapple Mivvis are in there ? Think strawberry ones maybe … I’ll be back with a edit lol 🤣 love this channel ! x

Loved a haunted house but my absolute favourite, which at 12 and a half pence, cost a fortune, was the Jack of Diamonds. It was like a feast is now only with soft toffee around the inner chocolate part....drooling thinking about it

I haven't had a 99 - a whippy icecream with a flake stuck in it since I was a child. Don't know if you can still get such a thing. The icecream is probably inferior nowadays. In the 1970s and 1980s it was good. I miss that, and also gob-stoppers and the mixed bag of assorted sweets!! Good times, shame they had to end. 😊

I remember Funny Faces lollies. Some you mentioned were before my time. It's amazing that Fab is still going over 50 years later.

I was definitely a Lyons Maid girl, pinapple mivvi all the way! I do remember eating an ice lolly in the late 70's/early 80's, a bit lile a mivvi, but instead of ice lolly outside it was little jelly balls. I seem to have the name "Berry Berry" in my mind, but considering that's a name very close to a disease, maybe I have mis-remembered!

Lolly Gobble Choc Bomb. No other lolly had such a fun name. The lolly itself was such a delight. Together with a bottle of Dandelion & Burdock, being 12 years old was made even more special.

There was a nice ice lolly with liquorice for a stick, that always ended up wilting like a dead flower before you could finish it....

How about vanilla flavour ice cream blocks with two wafers?

How about a Retro Ready-meal list? Vesta Curries (packed with sultanas for no obvious reason) and Findus French Bread Pizzas (probably my first taste of "Italian" cuisine!?) are two that spring to my mind.

The ice cream makers back then were much more creative, I loved funny faces and the Dalek ice cream, mint and chocolate... Thanks for bringing back so much happy memories in all your videos.❤

Great memory trigger Stuart, the 70s were great for lollies in the uk 👍

Wow such a blast from the past! Thankyou stu have done it again mate,your research and how you put your vids together is the best.

Glad you didn't miss out Funny Feet. Bloody horrible but iconic 🙂

I’d totally forgotten about the Heart lolly. Loved those. One of my faves was Walls’ Super Spy, with the secret code on the stick.

I tried the Dracula one once, it was horrible. I remember asking the girl behind the counter in my local shop if she had any `funny feet` and she replied in all seriousness `No but I`ve got a Funny Face`. true story lol.

I remember in the mid 1970s, my Dad was not happy when he asked what I wanted from the ice cream van and I replied "A lolly gobble choc bomb please"!🤣

Yep, my siblings and I grew up on Walls and Lyons Maid since our dad owned a sweet shop in Southend in the 60’s and 70’s. We used to love making the ice cream soda’s. Fab and Feast definitely ring a bell with me. I cannot believe how much a 99 w/flake costs now. An expat in Florida.

No mention of Walls' Jolly Jelly? Now there was a classic. I can still sing the ad tune! Great show - thanks.

Brilliant that. Thank you.

I loved the Heart lolly.....that was so decadent. And I'd completely forgot about Lord Toffingham. Chewy caramel surrounded by toffee flavoured ice cream. They were delicious. Seems to me that today kids just don't get the variety of treats that we had in the 60s and 70s.

The rubbish jokes on the lolly sticks? A younger kid on our estate actually ate half of lolly stick too. The Italian Ice Cream man, Vito. We called him Vimto, was a warm hearted man, he used to hand out free lollies or ice cream tubs (with the useless tiny spoons) to the hungry mites , with puppy dog eyes, who never had a look in. The inventiveness of ice cream and lollies was pretty cool. I personally favoured the slightly tart Cider ice lolly, Raspberry Mivvies (the forerunner of Soleros) & Rockets. My little bro was a fan of Screwballs and Draculas. I think he had to be put in the bath afterwards. Thats was a fun , I laughed when you said that , if you covered the vast array of icy goodies it would 3 hours long.

Walls Heart ice cream has got to be my all time favourite, happy memories 😊

A fab ice lolly was and still is my favourite. Shocking how much smaller it seems and I don’t think it’s because I am now an adult. It’s much thinner with nowhere near the third of chocolate on it, but still I love them. I also liked a strawberry mivvy ?? I have never written that down and i realise I don’t know how to spell it. I am sure you know what I mean,strawberry ice on the outside vanilla ice cream inside. Lovely.

FAB video 😂 I would love to taste a King Kong lolly once again. Another franchise lolly that came out with the 1976 film.

I love these trips down memory lane. I use to like lemonade sparkle. Cider Barrell type ice lolls. Very refreshing bk in them hot summer school holidays. Of 70s. & Jubblie orange flavored Pryramid type shape ones. Also remember Just 1 Cornetto first coming out. Only about 25p bk then. And bigger than what they are today.

Lovely. Thank you.

I remember in the 90’s there was a really nice Casper one

I'm actually watching this eating a Fab lolly 😁

You just don’t see this range of lollies any more. Sad times.

Lots of memories from the 60s and 70s, thank you. Loved Walls Heart but my favourite was called a Top Ten and my sisters favourite was a Coconut ice.

Those long multi pack Tip Tops, in particular cola flavoured, about 2p each in the early 80's, late 70's. Great on a hot day but the plastic clear wrapper would lacerate the sides of your mouth by the end when you attempted to get every last dreg out of the packaging.

I literally said to my kids on the last video, I hope there’s an ice cream/lolly episode at some point, lovely to see these old treasures, most of which were a bit before my time, as a kid of the 80s/90s the 2 most memorable lost lollies for me were the cola flavoured Mr T lolly and the green Kermit the frog lolly (flavour unknown) which had such an amazing flavour both from the 80s, it would be great to see and taste these again !

I love your videos. 1970s memories come flooding back. No wonder we all had so many fillings but at least you could get an NHS dentist in those days unlike now!

All these TV tie-in lollies seem to have passed me by! And I'm 65 and watched a lot of telly. I do remember Fab, Feast and the strawberry "Mivvy" though.

I loved Haunted House, Space 1999 lollies and the often forgotten Mivvi range of lollies that you could get in various different flavours. I also enjoyed Jubilee which was made for the Queens Silver Jubilee of 1977... Bring them back i say!

Going on holidays to England in the summer was always a treat. Cheap sweets and records but also the amazing vanilla icecream was way better than in Denmark in the 70s and 80s. It was yellow and not white as here but those wafer vanilla bars was something i still think of at least once a month.

Definitely enough content for 2 or 3 more episodes ! Every time i watch an episode of Little Britain i'm reminded of Choc Ice 😁😁. I certainly remember all the tv shows mentioned . Mini Milk and funny faces as well as FAB ( anyone remember what that stood for 😉) and the Cornish one were probably my favourites, born in 72 and i definitely remember that heatwave !!!

I love sparkle lollies, the lemonade one was the best, so refreshing on a hot summers day.

I remember sucking all the flavour out of cider lollies until the ice turned pale then biting the 'used' ice off & spitting it out to start sucking on a 'fresh' bit. Also shopkeeper freezing them cheap cartons of juice you pierced top with small straw, lasted ages. Also froze other drink, came in a triangular shaped card carton, may have been early version of capri sun.

Wow Stu, hope you're good buddy👍 I only remember 4 of those but did see some priced at pre-decimal and I was born in '71. I'm not sure but I think zoom is now a rocket lolly. Absolutely devastated I never got to try the space 1999🙄🤣 it was mainly Mr freeze ice pops when I was a kid or if grandad was buying it would be a 99 flake(good times) ! Great video, really interesting to see all those I had no idea of at all. Thank you and take care ✌️🍻

Jubbly pyramid shape (sort of) juice ice block/lolly were really refreshing as a kid during the long hot summers...

Great video once again, it was great to see the Dracula lolly from 1981, I was 5 when that was released and I remember the advertising campaign so well, I remember waiting all week until the weekend which seemed like forever to walk to the local newsagent with my mum to buy one, just hoping the whole way there they had them in stock, they did and the excitement was off the scale, simple pleasures back then.. one lolly I was hoping to see which I loved during the 80s was a series of lollies in different animals but I particularly liked the lemonade flavour shark, can’t remember who made it but again I was a sucker for the advertising and wrapper.

Mini Milk and Funny Faces are the ones I remember most from the 70's.

The local ice cream man at my Nan grandads and uncles road , I used to get hot dog with loads onions on lol and he would come to my school and my dad would get me one after school , and those teddy bear gummy sweets that were half a penny each lol He also used to rent out pirate movies too !! And sell packets of cigarettes lol x

You've just made my day by reminding me of the Lord Toffingham. Bloody delicious. The Jolly Jelly was another favourite.

Oh my, I loved a Space 1999 and a dalek lolly! The Red Arrows lolly came with a plastic fuselage and wings that you could assemble to make a plane 😍

Loved Feast and Funny Feet. Gino Ginelli Toffee Fudge was my favourite ice cream as well. I also liked the blocks of ice cream in the wafer. For some reason I preferred that to the normal cornet lol. Neapolitan (sp?) is also still a favourite and arctic roll

I remember a few like Funny Faces and of course Fab, Feasts & Mini-Milk but many of these lollies were before my time. The Count Dracula ones look quite impressive, I bet people loved those! As for personal favourites - it has to be Zzzzzap, Maxibons & the banana/raspberry Teddy lollies (cannot remember the name!)

If that is what a Lyons Maid Zoom does to a hidden laboratory I don't want it in my tummy.

I loved Darleks but they were ice cream with a chewing gumball at the bottom. If you turned them over they were Darleks. Our ice cream van used to give change in bubble gum! The sheer cheek, kids loved it, adults expecting change, less so!

Really enjoyed this so so many memories being brought back

Yes Fab and Zoom but the only other ones I can remember are Lolly Gobble Choc Bomb and Funny faces and I'm 64 now!

The Haunted House and Dracula were my favourite! Those were the good days! 💙☀️ Loved the old adverts too.

I worked in a sweet shop after school in the seventies and i remember many of these and some i've never seen before. Fabs, feast, haunted house, cola lollies, walls' ice cream heart were all favourites but some i remember didn't shift at all. Feasts were very popular but for me the chocolate bit in the middle was poor and greasy but many were bought for me and free is my favourite price so i kept quiet. While we are in the zone and if you are of similar age take another look at the Smash ad with the aliens it will make you chuckle again....

As an 11-year old I was obsessed with the Dracula shaped lolly. I saved my wrappers and sent off for the stickers. An early hint that I was gonna be a big ol’ goth I suppose. 😂
