Creamola Foam - Anyone else miss it ???
255 Answers
Does anyone else miss Creamola Foam as much as me ? It was discontinued in 1998 due to " the high cost of production and low level of sales " ( so say nestle ) but i'm interested to know if people DO still like this drink and would welcome the return of it.

Oh my god! I remember it! I didn't realise there were different flavours - it was just flourescent orange or flourescent pink to me :P
I remember the looks on my cosuins and my sister's faces when I said I didn't actually like the stuff. Despite this I couldn't resist the foamy texture in your mouth (they complained then, of course, that I was wasting it :P)
I'm 17 and that ws the only time I ever had it - on a trip to Scotland to see my cousins, think it was 1996 ^_^ But they had had it all their lives.
Would *love* the chance to see if I'm still a weirdo who doesn't like it!

I loved cremola foam! Me and my friends got talking about it the other day so I thought I would come on the internet to look it up to see if I could find it anywhere. Was gutted when they stopped making it! I used to love it in the summer - well all year round really lol. I can still remember what it tastes like (mmm!!) and I really wish I had sum!! it rocked! Im only 17 but still, it proves that everyone loved it old and young! BRING BACK THE ROCKIN DRINK THAT WAS CREMOLA FOAM!
we did have the opportunity to drinks loads of creamola foam vodka. it was gooooood. it also had a good dishwashing property too, as we found out on an adults only weekend trip to butlins wonderwest world. the sink in our budget chalet was full of greasy dishes and a burned frying pan. which we hasten to add, was in said such state on arrival. one of us poured our leftover creamola foam vodka into the sink. my gawd!!!!!! the frying pan revealed it's silver colour again. we thinks it might have had a caustic effect. if it had the power to to this to a skanky butlins frying pan. what the hell was it doing to the intestines?????!!!! it was however very good and blew the head off. did anyone else find this???

AN ICON of Scottish childhood may have lost its fizz forever. The formula for Creamola Foam, the sugary drink which hooked millions of young Scots in the 1970s and 80s, is missing.
The recipe for the drink, which once lurked in every Scottish larder, is now as much of a mystery as the Holy Grail, the smile on the Mona Lisa, and the location of Atlantis.
Despite the loss, a grassroots worldwide campaign by nostalgic Scots desperate for the return of the drink has vowed to scour cupboards to find a tin which could be analysed to figure out what made it so magical.
The recipes for the various flavours of the drink have been lost because the brand was sold as a portfolio of products to a company which cared more about custard than fizzy drinks.
The three Creamola brands, Creamola Foam, Custard and Rice, were bought by the Brands Partnership, from the international foods giant Nestl� in 1998. Brands Partnership, a Leeds-based dried foods firm, was keen to market Creamola Custard and bought the series of brands from Nestl�.
But in their enthusiasm to get their hands on the custard, the company did not acquire the formula for the fizzy drink, which was made by adding a sherbet-like powder to cold water and stirring frenetically while the drink foamed. The company no longer knows what that magic powder contained.
Nestl� says that since it sold the rights to the brand, the whereabouts of the formula is not a matter for the company. While the formula is lost in corporate limbo, the only hope is for someone to come forward with a tin of the original product.
A Brands Partnership spokeswoman said: "We have had a number of inquiries about bringing back Creamola Foam, mainly from Scotland, where we understand it was very popular, but we don�t plan at this stage to bring it back.
