The ice cream thread got me thinking about an ice cream I use to love as a kid. Though no one remembers it so maybe I've made it up

think it was called squeeze up, in a calippo type tube but it was more of a sorbet than flavoured ice. Does anyone remember it?

What discontinued treats were your favourite as a kid?

Cavan cola and creamola foam spring to mind for me

Are these the same frogs that you have to kiss before you meet your Prince?
