Bout ye! Some exciting news for anyone from Northern Ireland or Scotland. It seems that due due to popular demand (probably by out of work dentists) someone has seen fit to re-release Creamola Foam! Creamola Foam for fecks sake. Now rebranded as Kremola Fizz, this is indeed exciting news!
For many years now I've been talking to my Welsh counterparts about this mythical product and they all thought I had lost my mind. Well it seems the good Lord in his wisdom has taken heed of my plight and bestowed the recipe on some lucky sod. This time around though he also gave the bugger some business acumen as at £4 a tub nostalgia isn't cheap!
I have many fond memories of this stuff however. I remember slurping it from the glass before it exploded, the lovely fragrant scum left behind afterwards and lets not forget the ultimate endurance challenge, a spoonful straight from the tub! Needless to say I'll be ordering my first tub shortly!
I wonder if it will live up to my expectations? You can read more here.

ReplyDeleteI imagine it tastes rank! Would rot the teeth out your head i'm sure. Still, could be fun lol.

A large number of Scottish and Irish people born in the 70s and 80s and early 90s retain an affection and nostalgia for Creamola Foam, as a drink they enjoyed as children and cannot obtain today.[1] To this effect several online petitions argue for the resumption of the brand. Additionally some internet sites such as 'retrosweets.co.uk' collect details of the drink (such as ingredient lists) in the hope that it might be resurrected in some form in the future.
