Today I discovered three small Tetrapak boxes of Vimto at the back of the cupboard. I've put one in the freezer to make an ice lolly and it set me thinking.
When I was a teenager we used to congregate at Stanton's cafe on Whalley Road near the railway brdge on a Sunday afternoon. They used to make their own ice lollies and my favourite was the Vimto one - suck all the Vimto out and leave a lump of ice!
There was also the Jubbly - a large tetrahedral pack of orange drink which made an enormous lolly when frozen. Usually the packaging disintegrated before you were about half way through.
Never been a fan of commercial ice lollies but these two were lovely.
