(They'd replaced Jamesons' name on the wrapper with Cadbury's.) Another company revived them several years later, even keeping the Jamesons name on them. Makes you wonder why a company would buy a popular brand and then cancel them.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-23315769927640099302017-05-20T13:55:17.808+01:002017-05-20T13:55:17.808+01:00Yeah, Lyons Maid bought them out in the end, but d...Yeah, Lyons Maid bought them out in the end, but didn't keep the lollies.

There was a choice of two colours, pink or yellow, and I used to LOVE them! I can remember now, running around the corner shop from my Granny's on a hot summer's afternoon to get one!John Pitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08035300858247327343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-79591930369503094932017-05-20T00:33:43.772+01:002017-05-20T00:33:43.772+01:00Thanks, CJ, will have a look at that!Thanks, CJ, will have a look at that!John Pitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08035300858247327343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-61710878022173190972017-05-19T23:20:43.028+01:002017-05-19T23:20:43.028+01:00I noticed the ad earlier, CJ, but didn't want ...I noticed the ad earlier, CJ, but didn't want to include it with the Zoom ones.
