Wasn't the Top Gear you mentioned actually called Top Deck? I used to love the larger/lime ones.

 

ahhhh yes i stand corrected!! You are right ... Top Deck! ... the lager and lime one was fab .... I also remember when u could get root beer in whimpey ... the only place i ever see it these days is on the shelves of sainsburys!!!!

Ok I know this is a chocolate forum ..... but as me coming across this forum has put me in a nostalgic mood, if it's ok with everyone else can we earmark this thread for drinks that have been and went??
 

as in ....

 

TOP GEAR pop (lager and lime, and lager shandy)

 

Little glass bottle ... green pop called "space special" and I have never come across another flavour like it!

 

the 2 american imports that outstayed their welcome it would seem - Tab clear and Mountain Dew (shame cos I really liked the former)

 

anymore for anymore???

Ok heres some more .....
 

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
