You are right karen,
When the recipe (in fact the only surviving large tin) was sold to Premier Foods,they put it (along with many other one offs from Nestles) in a store cupboard.When much much later the decided to remake Creamola they found the lid had beennot secured tightly,and the Creamola had in effect evaporated!
Of course,by then nobody was survivng who knew the orignal recipe.
Lets hope the new one tastes as good,as when it's in stock again I am going to buy some for my landlady who is Scottish!
Thanks for the link Karen.
This may sound bizarre but it's quite true!
