I've never had a mint Feast but I do remember the release (or re-release?) of the 'normal' Feast in the 80's to much fanfare. They were a lolly and a half. I loved the solid chocolate bit in the middle.
I have some Jubblies in the freezer right now made by Calypso. Bought them for a laugh but when I opened the box I found they are tiny! Very disappointing!
Wow, I didn't know that you could still get mint Feast.
I used to love those,
Gonna have to search one out now......

Re: Walls Mint Feast
Oh, speaking of lollies, I bought an 8 pack of FAB earlier...they are nice but not as nice as I remember when Lyons used to do them as a kid. These are smaller and the chocolate on the top was very sweet. Anyone else remember them being far nicer, bigger, tastier?
I have just Brought A mint feast for my local ice cream van i haven't not had one since 2001 they where bloody lovely still the same Ahhhh memorys
Lol....I think many of the older generations here on DYR remember when a Wall's Feast was literally that....a FEAST! They were much bigger and chunkier in the 70s - 80s weren't they Richard....
I remember a Fizz, Rocket, Yobble Gobble choc bomb, but my favourite was a witche's hat, a basic blackurrant or orange lollt witn an ice cream cornet stuck on top.
I've lurked around here before but finally decided to join after the sheer nostalgia rush of this thread! <3
I have to mention Hopscotch - oh wow, I would never have remembered this one but the moment I saw the pic of the wrapper I could practically taste the thing sooo good! Oh and Heart as well, I never got one of those unless I was staying with my Nan on my own (hah, no irksome little brother) so it was a real treat.
I love the fact someone mentioned Push-ups,I can vaguely recall getting them off the ice cream van when I was small. And speaking of the ice cream van, we had a Midland Counties one too in the 70s (Deal Beach Parlour before that I think) and I used to love the big choc ice on a stick thing they did (sorry, I saw it earlier on the thread but forgot the name) also the raspberry ripple type ice cream lolly, they seemed huge to me, much better value than Walls or LM. =P
A couple that are bugging me, Fizzy Lizzy (or Lizzie) I might be wrong but possibly there were 2 flavours of lolly, a lemon one and a raspberry (or strawberry one) each with a centre of sherbet powder that came as a real fizzy shock when you were eating the sweet outer shell.
Jungle Jim. My memory's really dodgy here, it was either a pink kids choc ice or a pink 'coola wafer' type lump of ice cream that they shoved into one of those boxy little wafer cones.
Jolly Jelly, this was Walls I believe, an ice cream lolly with a wobbly jelly centre and a choc cap, it might have been replaced by Jelly Jumbo.
Apologies of these have already been mentioned, I'm just high on nostalgia & happy to be here! =)
