Creamola Foam! Â Oh, what a wonderful drink Creamola Foam was. Â I must confess I did think it was called Cremola Foam, but photographic evidence (of a particularly rusty tin) would prove otherwise.
Anyway, Creamola Foam was a weird little drink made from coloured crystals. Â It came in a little metal tin, labelled with a boy and a girl drinking through straws. Â You had to prise the lid off with the end of a spoon, much like you used to have to do with Andrews Liver Salts indigestion powder, before they put it in a plastic bottle.
You took a spoonful of the crystals and mixed it with water which caused the whole lot to go fizzy, again much like Andrews. Â Unlike Andrews however, you ended up with a foamy fruity mixture which you could then drink and enjoy, although have too much of it and it would probably give you a tummy ache – yet another point where it is unlike Andrews!
