THE ICE (LOLLY) MAN COMETH...



I was in Farmfoods yesterday (Friday) evening and was surprised and delighted to see that Zoom ice lollies had made a comeback.  I last saw them in a shop around 20-odd years ago (at least), and have had to make do with generic 'rocket' ice lollies from various stores whenever the mood took me to try and re-experience a bit of my ice lolly past.  Fab ice lollies have been available (as far as I know) since they were first introduced back in the '60s, so I assume that they're perhaps just a bit more popular than Zoom - unless stores in my area simply haven't stocked it in order to sell their own versions. 


Anyway, I bought a box of each lolly and once I've scoffed them, I'll be keeping the boxes and wrappers.  In what will look like a seamless bit of production to you Crivs, I've included some ads for these lollies that appeared in TV Century 21, but in actual fact, as I type these words I've yet to dig them out and scan them for your perusal.  Apologies if I've spoiled the illusion of pre-planned perfection when producing these posts, but the truth is I very often just trot them out 'on-the-hoof' as I go along.  





Ah, what the heck - might as well throw in some TV ads as well.  As usual, your thoughts, theories, observations, and reminiscences are most welcome in the comments section.
