To say Fab ice lollies are delicious?

I had one yesterday for the first time in at least 20 years.

I actually can’t stand fabs. I don’t like chocolate mixing with the iced bit. Now a twister is an elite ice lolly!

FAB was for girls and Zoom for boys

I don't know. That gumball was all flash and no flavour.

We had FAB in that long hot summer of 1976. Zoom was good as well.

I don't remember those, but I do remember Screwballs. Always a disappointment.

YANBU. They are an elite ice lolly.
I like a toffee crumble ice lolly too!

These were def my favourite! Also loved funny feet!

MrsTrellisOgleddCymru · 25/06/2026 19:21

Now a fab lolly is pretty nice, but I much prefer nobbly bobbles! At the moment my freezer is full of rowntrees fruit pastille lollies, lime callipos and slush puppy ice pops! X

The ratio of a Fab is off for my liking. There should be more of the white stuff and the bobbly bits.

I like those Spotty Dotties or Sainsbury’s equivalent.

Exactly. Way more white stuff which is the good stuff

FoodieFoodFood · 25/06/2026 19:11

Always hated them! But I bet it’s refreshing for you at least

DollydaydreamTheThird · 25/06/2026 19:10

Agree. I had a Fab lolly after lunch today. It was bloody lovely. You can't do owt else with this heat. Needs must!

I love a Feast but an ice lolly is best in this weather. R Whites lemonade one is lovely.

Wenttoaweddingonamonday · 25/06/2026 16:42

Cider lollies

Te bubblegum was too small and didn’t taste nice for long.

Does anyone remember ‘Haunted House’ icecream. They were purple with a white ghost pattern on.
