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 🤣🤣🤣

I don’t have Twitter but I guess I could contact them another way! It’s so weird I can’t find anything at all online about it

Yes! I think you are right. They were choc ices. They were very nice indeed.



Oops! I tried to send a pic but you can look on Google. Was it a Boomy? I don't remember these in the U.K. but they were in other countries

Yea my little boy loves these!

Aqua Libra?

You haven’t imagined it! It is mentioned in this article. Unfortunately there are no photos. It was a Lyon’s Maid ice lolly.

Thankyou !! At least i know it did exist !!!

@Martinisarebetterdirty

Do you mean these? I found this while trawling for OP.

Thanks @SpidersAreShitheads but no, they def didn’t have chocolate on them (I wouldn’t have been allowed them 😁)! They were almost like frozen jelly on a stick.

@Martinisarebetterdirty Ooh I definitely saw a reference to a lolly like that at some point while I was looking! Wasn't called a Wobbly Wobbly though I don't think. Might you have mixed up the names and appearances of two lollies?

Wibbly Wobbly would make more sense for a jelly type lolly though wouldn't it?!! Not quite sure where the chocolate comes into that haha

Thank you to the people who have suggested Aqua Libra but k don’t think it’s that because the dates are wrong. AL seems to have been popular in the 80s and disappeared in the 90s but the drink I remember definitely came out around 1995. Unless it was a brief reappearance of it that then was discontinued I suppose.

Amazing how many people have said "was it a Solero?", rtft 😂

Midnight Mint was a mint flavoured choc ice on a stick. Dark chocolate, white ice cream. An owl on the wrapper.
They were delicious.

@RedLemonade thanks for that picture. I loved fat frogs! They were my favourite!

@FedUpToTheBackTooth
winner!

Im reminiscing about a Toffee Crumble now

I remember these! Strawberry(?) and banana ice-cream on the bottom, chocolate-covered lemon jelly on the top.

I reckon it was a lemon solero but as a child you assumed because it was lemon flavour it was a lemon shape.

They were right to call it Mirage, there’s no trace of it!

looking online for this has been a total nostalgia treat. Remember zapp’s? What flavour even were they?! And Bionic Lolly, but of a let down when you got one of those.

and ice cream in a cardboard box which you sliced.

Ice cream vans nowadays sell a version of zap which looks the same but doesn't taste as creamy, an insult to the original!

I know !! I cannot find one picture of it anywhere !!! Is it weird I want to see one I can remember the ice cream itself but not the packaging

I also remember Mirages, they were DS1s favourite, hard to find and only around for a couple of years

Not the one in the bottom left corner, is it?

Is it this? Only lemon shaped one I can find.

Does anyone remember thjs drink that was around briefly in the mid 90s…it was carbonated but the flavour was herbal. I think it was marketed as a health drink. Might only have been around for 1 summer!

Purdeys, came in a matte silver bottle
