Am I remembering an ice cream that didn’t exist ??

[ImaginationZoo]

I was sure in the early 90s I used to absolutely love an ice cream I think was called ‘Mirage’ ? Maybe I’ve got the name wrong as googling isn’t coming up with anything ??!!

it was a bit like a solero but lemon shaped 🤷‍♀️ Maybe I dreamt it .

Also - a lemon drink called ‘Gini ‘??? Or have I made that up too 🤣🤣🤣

Could it have been a homemade ice-cream your parents made in the freezer using lemonade and mould?

Gino-ja-Gino-ja-Gino-ginelli

@Hiphopfrogger i think I remember that - called something like Aquavita? Or similar?

A zap?

A lemon sunkist?

Zap?

@honeybushbunch yes! Definitely something like aquavita but when I google it nothing comes up. I’m pretty certain it was in a can, whiteish and green colouring.

You can still buy Gini in France. I love it.

Anyone remember haunted house lolly’s, they came with a joke on the stick too.

only thing that looks kind of like you're describing

''Mivvi''?
Ate one and was sick at Newland's corner as a kid, so remember the name.
Definitely sorbet with ice cream inner . B oak.

Gino ginelli mint choc chip was the dessert of gods,

Yes!

Does anyone remember a Walls ice lolly called "Fame"? It was like a large Fab only a zillion times nicer.

I swear I remember the name 'mirage' in relation to the ice cream man, but in my head it was similar to a magnum rather than a solero.. And I also can't find anything via googling 🤔

This is what I was thinking too! It's what I thought when OP mentioned it.

Are you sure it wasn't a boomy OP?

I think Tesco or Icelands own brand are called Mirage. Or some supermarket own brand version.

Are you thinking of a Mivvi?

No because I have all these memories of going to the little shop near our house to get them and also once after a really long walk we stopped off and the little cafe sold them , I remember being happy to see it on the board on the shutter of the little kiosk bit !

Aqua Libra. I think Purdeys came out at the same time and was more popular so killed off Aqua Libra.

No as they were like strawberry splits weren’t they and these ones I remember only came in lemon flavour

I used to love a fat frog!!!

That’s it! It was quite nice as I recall….

Was it Aqua Libra?
There's a picture of the label waaay down this article
