Yes, Jolly jellies and Lord Toffinghams were two of my favourites. The Toffinghams were coated in chocolate, had a toffee flavoured ice-cream base and a chewy toffee centre.
Jolly Jellies were a trio of water ice and cream ice with a jelly centre. The 1970s were a dream for pocket money priced lollies - black dracular lollies, purple magic lollies, yoghurt flavoured lollies and all sorts.
My favourites were Mint Hits and Pineapple Mivis.

I vaguely recall these products you mention. My abiding memeory of old ice creams is 'Push ups'?
Little cardboard cylinders of vanilla and raspberry sauce ice cream with a little plastic stick to push the base upwards as you ate it.
Lovely.

Does anyone remember, late 70s / early 80s, an ice cream not unlike a minimilk but the top couple of inches were dipped in chocolate? I think maybe there were hundreds and thousands on top too. I was so sad when those went out of production 
Also remember the chocolate mousse in a pot with about 5 spots of cream piped on the top, called a Lovely? They were great but the worst part was that they came frozen and you had to wait hours for them to thaw out

In a timewarp style newsagents near where I work they have an ancient ice cream poster over the freezer, featuring many old classics. One I would particularly love to see back is the Sky - an ice cream bar with Aero style chocolate in the middle! 
Also does anyone remember Rol? A choc ice with white vanilla ice cream and a swirl of chocolate and toffee ice creams in the middle. They were still available on the continent at one time, but it's a long time since I saw one...
Post by: one_serious_chocoholic on November 30, 2004, 09:16:23 pm
SKY!
I remember those - they were lovely.
I still love the 'Magnum; Sins' edition of last year, especially the 'Gluttony' flavour...

Anybody remember a kinda tie-dye coloured toffee flavoured ice lolly called 'Pizazz' (sp?) in the late eighties? They were gorgeous 
Post by: StarSparkle on January 18, 2007, 11:11:30 pm

I remember years and years ago one of the companies doing cones with a range of flavours including a lovely chocolate one and a wonderful orange sherbert. I used to have a twin cone with chocolate one side and orange the other. I think the range was called Napoli and the shop keeper used to scoop it out of tubs from a fridge like Thorntons do.
I could never manage a double cone these days even though i'm much plumper.
By the way - Thorntons do some lovely flavours - especially Toffee Crunch.

does anyone remember getting ice-cream inside a plastic ball..(just a bit bigger in size than a tennisball)..
part of the ball unscrewed to reveal vanilla ice-cream..when you were finished eating.. you'd screw the lid back on and hey presto !!! you had a ball to kick around..
these were around in the 60's not sure if they were still around in the 70's..early 70's maybe..
Post by: oldspice on January 30, 2007, 07:07:51 am
Yes! The Tonibell ice cream man used to sell them! Wow, I'd forgotton all about those!
Did anyone love oysters? They were cone-like shells with marshamllow inside and the ice cream man would fill them with a small brick or a squirt of whippy ice cream. Of course, you had to have raspberry sauce as well! Mmmmmmmmmmmmm

Pistachio flavour ice cream ..... why dont we see much of that about? Its my fav flavour .... I think it must be the "marmite" of icecream, if u get what I mean!
Also does anyone remember those lollies a bit like feasts but you could get flavours like "toffee crunch", "mint crisp", "turkish delight", "double choc" I cant for the life of me think what they were called but they were very nice, again as always, taken off the shelves overnight! .... favourite centres springs to mind for some reason!!
sparkle lollies lemonade flavoured, think u could get orange flavour too
magnifico ... was like a massive cornetto
I remember also there was a spinoff of the funny feet ... think it was called a "freaky foot" and the big toe was covered in chocolate.
There was the "tongue twister" .... a spin off from that was the "tangle twister" which is still around today known simply as the "twister" (wow u got my grey matter working today!!) ...
Is the callipo still around or is that what solero replaced?
hmmm ..... square ice cream cones (why???)
also I remember as a kid, I could go to my local icecream man and ask for what was known in my area as a "special" which was an icecream cone with a cylindrical shaped lolly stuck in it ... anyone else remember those??
and one more I remember .... those "Gi-nomous" Ice pops u could buy for 15p ... the standard sized ones were 10p but the bigger ones were longer and fatter!!
p.s. this forum is great, keep it up!!!
Best
Wayne

Those ice cream lolly combinations you used to call a special was called a witches' hat where I lived (north east London). It was a cone of ice cream, with a triangle, raspberry flavoured ice lolly stuck in the top. It was sold by the Rossi's ice cream man.
Post by: mouseflakes on June 14, 2007, 07:09:00 pm
70s I think..
Top Secret - with the hidden message formed in two parts of a stencil on the 'stick (one part at each end so you had to eat the lolly first then use the stencil)? Can't remember what they tasted like!
Haunted House - like a vanilla Mini Milk but standard 'lolly-shaped' with a suitably scary drawing in blue or green ink (edible I imagine).
Bit more recent (early 80s)...
Jelly Jumbo - just great and only 15p. Sort of red ice cream with a top dipped in pretend chocolate (I imagine) and a red jelly centre.
Banana Man - very banana and toffee flavoured. Middle was gooey, and goody!

It does make me think a dark chocolate aero would be fabulous (using Nestle's European blend). I just cannot take to Bournvile no matter how hard I try. A Dark Wispa would be excellent however and a Dark Wispa Gold has just caused me to go and get a tissue.
