I doubt there was any actual juice in a Jubbly it was just an odd shaped carton of orange squash but they came into their own in hot weather because shop owners would put them in the Ice-Cream freezer and turn them into odd shaped freeze-pops and you could run then across your forehead very easily to cool yourself down before you sucked the frozen contents. You could also suck it so the "juice" came out but the ice remained so you were left with a really odd shaped lump of ice for further cooling purposes 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just ended up with a lump of ice whereas Tiptops would melt more evenly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically, asbestos does make a come back, that's how it still manages to kill people decades later. I've got mixed feelings about the asbestos garage I helped my Dad knock down in 1985 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marka Ragnos Posted July 19, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 19, 2022 You were probably fortunate to miss this lab-concocted confection, but when I was a kid, we went crazy over this stuff. Loved the banana flavour. We also used to save the jars and use them as drinking glasses in my family because, well, we broke a lot of glasses (four kids).

We used to have choice, GOD we used to have SO. MUCH. CHOICE. Frozen Deep Pan essentially doesn't exist anymore, not properly. They changed the recipe to Chicago Town at some point at the turn of the millennium and it's been cheapy cardboardy crap ever since. How Goodfellas, perennially the ginger stepchild of frozen pizza choice, somehow survived and persisted to this day is a bafflement. What the **** happened to McCain? And Freschetta? The real pisser, you only have to step foot just outside the UK for vastly better choice. We get, what, Dr. Oetker's "Ristorante" range over here and that's about it. Have you seen the sheer number of varieties of friggin' frozen pizza the Doctor is peddlin' in your average European supermarket? It beggars belief! Proper Deep Pan, Stone-baked style, all the rest and it's all real good shit. And don't even talk to me about how good the bloody Yanks have it. GAH. Good call. I always thought Dr Oetker were the best frozen pizza until... Stock image, sure, but the Crosta & Mollica frozen pizzas are genuinely very good.

We use an awful lot of their products Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gino D'Acampo range from Food Warehouse/Asda/Iceland is a very close second, pretty much as good the C&M stuff but much cheaper (the trade-off being I have to mingle with the filthy proles in Food Warehouse/Asda/Iceland to get them... how ghastly).
