LOVELY JUBBLY

As a child i'm sure we all have memories of our favourite sweets and ice creams. Sherbet Dabs, Jamboree Bags, Flying Saucers, Bazooka Joe, Flaming Cherries, Gobstoppers, Zoom Lollies, Candy Cigarettes, Bubble gum with picture cards inside, especially Football, Old Jamica liquorice tobacco, Bags of flavoured sherbert, Firemans Hose red liquorice, Shrimps, Jars of different candy just to name a few. I guess thou what i enjoyed most of what seemed to be endless summer days during school holidays was to get my lips round a ice cold Jubbly. To tear off the cardboard to savour this delight was a job in itself, especially if you went into a shop and their ice cream container was iced up. But as you slid the Jubbly up from the triangle packaging and sucked on the freezing cold orange ice cube it was sheer delight. The juice that gathered at the bottom was drunk as you finished the last piece of what was just ice,joy and sadness at  the same time as you knew you had come to the end of the triangle. I guess that's why every time i fancy a ice cream i always favour a Calipo, just brings those memories flooding back.
