My sister got this snippet from Scottish newspaper site:
-----------------------------------
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.

Here's a link for those who would like to see the original packaging or would like a trip down memory lane!

Spelling Note: The site heading displays "CREMOLA FOAM" while the pics show "CREAMOLA FOAM" on the packaging!
I'm told that some website or other states that both spellings are correct so I can only assume that both were used on the packaging, although why, I couldn't say!
Perhaps it was regional.
I just remember "CREMOLA FOAM" as being the definitive spelling in my memory!
