I remember them from the '90s. They were like squash in a rectangular shaped plastic container. I think sometimes you could buy them frozen?

Capri sun?

eyerings · 26/02/2023 21:51

Calypso cups!

ClaraThePigeon · 26/02/2023 21:52

It wasn't Capri Sun. I want one now though.

Calypso Cups possibly. I seem to remember the cup being ribbed though.

Oh those! We used to buy them at roller skating when I was in Primary!

ClaraThePigeon · 26/02/2023 21:55

Kwenchy cups! That's it. Thank you.

We used to call them jubilees when they were frozen.

I can still taste the cola flavour.

Thanks to all who replied. I can sleep peacefully now.

B&M or home bargains do them, we got a couple of boxes of them when our nieces and nephews came tk visit.

Jubblies were something different again. They were in those diamond pyramid shaped cartons.

AnyFucker · 26/02/2023 21:59

We called the frozen Kwenchy Kups, jubblys or jubilees, in my part of Scotland.

i remember them. But I don’t remember them being called kwenchy cups. They were the kind of thing you got in school tuck shops. I remember them being pretty minging really.

cocksstrideintheevening · 26/02/2023 22:05

We still get the jubblys

If you went into a newsagent in my then area, a jubbly/jubilee was always a frozen Kwenchy Kup rather than the branded Jubblys that I think I saw almost exclusively in supermarkets.

Interesting to see that they're still available. I'm tempted to relive my childhood though it'll probably end in disappointment.

They were jubblies in North London too.

icebearforpresident · 26/02/2023 22:14

As soon as as I saw this thread I knew it would be kwenchy cups! Used to love the frozen raspberry ones.

My local Asda sometimes have them, got them a few years ago for my daughters birthday party. Unfortunately there were none left over for me to bring in the freezer.

Rainbowshit · 26/02/2023 22:28

Yeah we called frozen kwenchy cups jubblys when I was a child. Also Scotland.

hauntedvagina · 26/02/2023 22:33

I can still remember how these used to coat my teeth thirty years on 🤣

derryrose1980 · 26/02/2023 22:35

They were called Tip Tops in Northern Ireland.

sproutsandparsnips · 26/02/2023 22:35

Or Tiptops?

SpringyAF · 26/02/2023 22:38

I can taste the plastic now. Amazing. Somehow it managed to dry your mouth out despite being liquid.

I was going to say I called them Jubilees too. (Also scotland)

UnclearNuclear · 26/02/2023 22:42

Yup, frozen kwenchy kups were jubilees in Glasgow. I'm sure we had done that were circular cross-section too, rather than square, different brand - might well by calypso.
