I suppose they must have bought loads of it reduced when Safeway closed. I was really surprised to see it a couple of months ago, presumably there's no best-before date for that sort of stuff.Dave Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10562199843047738071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-39410903708534858322016-03-11T11:58:11.728+00:002016-03-11T11:58:11.728+00:00I see that 'rocket' ice lollies can still ...I see that 'rocket' ice lollies can still be bought (in boxes), which look like Zooms, but aren't called by that name. I must buy a box. Nope, CJ, never even tried alcohol, never smoked, never taken drugs. That's probably why I'm such a boring fart. To clarify on the drink thing - I did have communion wine a couple or so times when I was a kid, and my parents once gave me a heavily diluted ginger beer at New Year once, but when I say I never drank, I'm talking about when I was 'aware' and could've done (even as an under-ager), but never did. I've since had meals with a white wine sauce, but apparently the alcohol is cooked out. And some medicines have alcohol in them I believe. But you know what I mean.

At first I didn't remember Zoom lollies but then I saw a picture of one and of course I rememberd it then. There was a link to a list of 10 lollies/ice cream products of the past such as Funny Feet, Dracula, Screwball and cider-flavoured lollies. One that I remember was the Space: 1999 ice lolly that was out in the summer of '76, the summer of the drought. By the way, I'm amazed that you've never even tried alcohol - not even a sip ? Mind you, I've never tried a cigarette - my father smoked and he always told me never to smoke so I never did.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-73782201845874680452016-03-10T19:11:57.000+00:002016-03-10T19:11:57.000+00:00I remember Orson advertising that sherry back in t...I remember Orson advertising that sherry back in the '70s, but being a teetotaler, I've never tried alcohol, CJ.

Another mystery is the disappearance of Domecq Double Century sherry - Orson Welles used to advertise it back in the '70s and my mother would buy a bottle for a special occasion like Christmas but I haven't seen Double Century on sale for at least 25 years - but I googled that too and it's also still around. Piat D'Or wine has also gone AWOL ("Les Francais adorent Le Piat D'Or") and now I can't find Sharwood's mango chutney any more either - it was delicious with my cheese & lettuce sandwiches.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-78257023505626347282016-03-10T10:24:42.811+00:002016-03-10T10:24:42.811+00:00Ski yoghurt?
