My Mam is trying to figure out what they where called. I assume they don’t make them anymore but they looked like the picture with a lollipop stick in them, pink and white. She can’t remember many more details unfortunately.

  5. Double lollies? Both them and drumstick lollies are still widely available. 

  6. As others have said drumsticks, but if they weren’t chewy ones, maybe a double lolly, those were more powdery.

  7. Yup, round ones, with clear plastic wrapping. Very hard to crunch, sort of chalky.

  8. Drumstick.
    You can still buy them with the stick now.

    As sickly sweet as always.

  11. Definitely Drumstick lollies if chewy or Double Lollies if hard. Can buy them anywhere sweets are sold.

  13. Big foot ice cream lollipop

    Or was I’d made from Edinburgh rock?

  16. Giant double lollies probably, my mum used to occasionally buy us them as treats and I would destroy my tounge on them

  20. We’re they bigger than the drumsticks/double lollies that everyone is suggesting? Closer to the size of a an ice cream like a feast or something?

  21. We had them in the Netherlands. Not sure what they were called, but an unappealing chalky mess in my memory.

  23. Genuinely thought I had made these up because no-one else remembers them 😂

  24. They were bloody delicious if you had the jaw strength to chew them for an hour

  25. Is that what those blocks are? Our corner shop used to sell them as ‘sherbet creams’ and we were all obsessed, but I hadn’t seen them since!

  26. Oh, those chalky things were still around well into the 2000s! I used to avoid them, I hated the texture.

    I’m certain they still exist in some multipacks

  28. I remember these too. Our old sweet shop in Wales sold them. Raspberry flavour and chalky / Edinburgh rock style in oblong shaped slabs

  29. I remember them. They were on a plastic stick and had a little dent in the middle. About the size of a bar of soap and chewing them was like really soft seaside rock. I don’t remember the name though. It’s not anything I’ve seen others mention.

  30. Sherbert Shandies, similar to Edinburgh rock but not as soluble. Not seen them since the 80’s.

  32. Not sure what they’re called but they come in Swizzels multipacks

  33. Are you on about the ones that have the texture of a double lolly and you dip in sherbet? Some were rectangles and others were the shape of a nail file

  37. Loved those. Used to get them after I’d been to the hairdresser for some reason. They were powdery like Edinburgh rock but don’t know their specific name!

  38. These are called sherbert blocks, haribo makes them or did, hope this helps.

    Source: owned a corner shop.

  39. What happened to those Tocho bricks? Haven’t seen them for years.
