I forgot that the 'Black Hole' lolly had the red bit inside like 'Count Dracula's Deadly Secrets'. And the more I read into this thread, the more my childhood is rushing back through my addled mind. Screwballs?! Ice cream and bubble gum inside an inverted plastic Dalek.
Can't quite remember the name of this lolly. Sure it had 'Spy' in the title. You put the blue stick on some paper and wrote out the code that was etched into the stick. Then you turned the stick around and wrote again, and some words 'magically' appeared.
Although I can't remember the name of the lolly, I do remember that you could send off for a 'Secret Spy Pen'.
Damn! The name is going to annoy me now.
**UPDATE** I believe they were called 'Secret Agent'.
the other was blue plastic with a stencil type thing on both ends
(may have been called codebreakers or something)

I had both of these. Got them when I bought a Star Wars lolly at the Odeon Cinema, Croydon, watching Star Wars for the second time on the big screen.. wish I'd kept them.. surely they won't sell at £400 a piece??
Thank you so much Sixtyten,that is incredibly helpful of you.I do agree that the packaging is not as good,it looks slightly Anime to me.Saying that though,it looks to be made of a better quality material than the old paper packaging it once had.These new packaging seem to have a cushion of air around the lolly,whereas the old paper ones had a habit of sticking to the ice lolly a lot of the time,so we had to peel paper off half the ice lolly.At least that has changed.
Yes, Walls still make a Dracula lolly (the black ice one) in Spain, as I try and have one everytime I'm there. The packaging is rubbish nowadays though :cry:
