for some reason as a kid I used to join two totally separate adverts together in my mind ..... Esso Blue and Opal Fruits .... "boom boom boom boom, esso blue ... made to make your mouth water .... !!!" and surely it would !

Blimey, Charles them thar trucks and the thought of you sitting in the driving seat with your mortar board on and yer robe sleeves flying out the window in the breeze really conjures up visions of past grandeurs. But wasn't that the era of the starting handle.

Oops,, that was pre-war wasn't it and and you are not THAT old are you ?

"Creamola Foam fizzes and foams

Foams and fizzes

Fizzes and foams" .......

As the telly advert went. Can never remember the last line. Anyway, it was like a cheap substitute for proper lemonade...and the raspberry flavour was particularly noxious as i recall...a long way from the sublime taste of "Moray Cup" (and so back to the original posting...)

Fizzy juice was such a rare commodity that its arrival in the house was greeted with near delirium. After your parents' parties you would get up early the next morning to beat a path through the empty cans and overflowing ashtrays to sneak a slog of any leftover fizz. Alas, all that was left would be the dreaded Schweppes tonic water, and yet you would still throw it back.

Creamola Foam may have been the poor man's fizz, but it was not the lowest form of carbonated drink. Oh no, that was the Refreshers sweets cast into a glass of water, or a sachet of Beecham's powders, both of which provided the fizzy drink fizz.
