    These were a childhood favourite which my friends and I used to buy from the ice cream van at school! I always wanted the ones with the pinky top – they were the best!! I still couldn’t tell you what flavour they actually are?

    Double lollies! I’ve had some gladtorial tussles with these beauties over the years! I always liked to get them off their sticks asap (to suck them to death in school lessons without the rather telltale stick evidence!), but blimey did they put up a fight!

    I remember buying these lollies with some sherbet – those were the days when calories didnt matter!!! I used to try and sit at the back of class so I could get away with sucking lollies during lessons lol!

    I was never allowed these as a child, but whenever we went to mu Aunties house, she would give us 10p to go to the corner shop and i would always pick up one of these (obviously these were the days of being able to get quite a lot for 10p!)

    I remember these lollies they were such good value because they lasted so long. My Dad used to call them chalk lollies because he said that was what they look like. Now I give them to my daughters.
