flavoured ice pyramid - jubilee/jublie/Jubbly

[ecofugal]

hi all,
does anyone remember in the 1970s UK tuck shops used to sell these flavoured iced pyramids. it was just a block of flavoured ice in the shape of a pyramid. there were flavours like cherry and orange. they were wrapped in paper casing. you would tear off the paper at one point of the pyramid and push out the ice a little so you could suck it.
i think they were called jubilee or jublies.

I remember them well. I think they were called 'Calypso' though. Probably the same thing just with a different name. I was never keen on them, it was just a flavoured ice cube that tasted of very, very diluted pop.

I remember jubbly and Calypso but IIRC Jubbly were much bigger and IMO far better

They were very watery when you got so far down. I preferred sun lolly, they were much more concentrated.

mmm that last bit of orange juice that was left in the corner, you tipped it up & poured it into your mouth...it was soooooo sugary sweet

As well as Jubbly there was i think Joosa Jim's ,,,,

many thanks. i vaguely remember the term Calypso.

i remember i would suck all the flavour out of it and end up with just ice.
brings back memories of the long hot summer of 1976 in Uk.
Trips to the tuck shop during lunch beak, jumpers for goal posts etc etc.

Isn't Calypso the name of those cold drinks that came in a corrugated plastic container with a foil lid? It didn't matter what flavour you had, since all you could taste was plastic.

Sun Lolly was an orange coloured container, right? I actually preferred them to melt a bit as the taste came through better.

Calypso Jubbly and Sun Lolly

All basically the same thing

[Derekflint]

Same company.

Oh the ungodliness of them!
