is there anywhere that still sells cremola foam?

Answer 1

Cremola Foam was discontinued around 1998. Something to do with the rising costs to produce such a popular drink.

The recipe was subsequently lost so no one else could reproduce it.

Now, I believe that an unopened tin has been found in the Orkney Islands (or some remote place like that). This tin is to be carefully opened under laboratory conditions and analysed.

So if they can find out what was in it then there is a chance of a re-appearance.

Oh! just a point of interest, there is a Cremola Foam Forum.

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://biturl.im/aU0eo

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

Answer 5

Answer 6

Hiya - I remember reading ages ago that one of the last remaining tubs of it was found behind some shelving in a shop when it was getting a refit or something. If I remember rightly, the tub, although it didnt carry a best before date, was not deemed fit for human consumption. However, I think they were gonna take it to some lab and try and find out the recipe so that they could relaunch it again.

Theres a petition to sign to see if that'll work at...

OK just found this article...

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 Nestlé in 1998. Brands Partnership, a Leeds-based dried foods firm, was keen to market Creamola Custard and bought the series of brands from Nestlé.

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.

Nestlé 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.

"There is a problem in bringing it back, that we did not acquire the formula when we bought the brand. If we wanted to recreate the product, someone would need to come to us with the formula, or someone who had some could give it to us so that we could analyse it."

Asked why the firm had not asked for the formula at the time, the spokeswoman replied: "We did not regard it as a priority at the time, and still do not. We are focused on custard. When we bought the rights to Creamola Foam it was not even being made then."

The spokeswoman had some good news for some nostalgic Scottish taste buds. Creamola Custard, once a favourite in Scots puddings, will be hitting the shelves again.

Originally produced in Glasgow, Creamola Foam was practically unknown south of the Border, but sold all over Scotland. It was also popular in Northern Ireland. A number of Creamola Foam nostalgia websites have sprung up, in which fans have discussed their favourite flavours, disputed the spelling (Creamola, not Cremola, is correct), hailed it as a hangover cure, and even hinted at less family-friendly uses for the drinks, such as mixing with vodka and even snorting the powder.

Some have argued over the number of flavours, the orange and raspberry being the most remembered, while some insist there were also lemon and even a strawberry variety.

Elaine Grant, a call centre adviser from Denny in Stirlingshire, is one of the deprived who have joined an internet forum clamouring for the drink to be brought back.

She is urging Scots to check their kitchen cupboards for old tins which could be chemically analysed so that the formula might be revived.

She said: "I have been trying to find it for ages. It pains me to know that I may never be able to see the return of Creamola Foam. As well as contacting the company and petitioning them, I’m putting out an appeal for people to try to find any old tins which the company could use to work out the formula. I do hope that the company will change its mind. I think it would sell well, it would be in their interests. I think children would like the novelty of being able to mix it themselves."

Recalling the drink, she added: "I used to fight with my brother to be able to burst open the paper on the top, and you always thought that first drink tasted best. I also sometimes also ate the powder, which sounds really disgusting, but I loved it."

Phil Kay, the Scottish comedian, also called for the drink to be brought back. He said: "I loved Creamola Foam. It was a part of being Scottish at that time.

"I think part of the attraction was the fact that you mixed it yourself. It was like your first recipe, your first chance to make something for yourself. I would love it to be brought back."

Kay developed his own way round the problem which afflicted every Creamola Foam drinker: the fear that the undiluted powder would become a gritty, undrinkable sludge settled at the bottom of the glass.

He said: "My answer was to leave the spoon in and keep stirring so the powder never sank to the bottom. That was the beauty of it, you could even have your own way of drinking it."

A marketing expert was last night dubious about the arguments for bringing the icon back.

Alan Wilson, professor of marketing at Strathclyde University, and an expert in branding, said: "Making a success of it nowadays would not be very easy. Some people would buy it for nostalgia, but they would not be the people this would be aimed at. You wonder also whether kids would want it because there is so much more on the market nowadays.

"I remember Creamola Foam, but I can’t remember liking it all that much, you had it in case there wasn’t any lemonade in the house.

"Also given the concern about obesity and the Scottish diet, I wonder how acceptable it would be."

A recent study showed that young Scots drink more fizzy drinks than any other European children, and the number of Scottish children who are overweight and obese has become an issue of major public concern. Phil Hanlon, professor of public health at Glasgow University, said: "Like everything else, it’s a matter of balance, an occasional glass won’t do you any harm.

"But we already have a problem in Scotland with the consumption of fizzy drinks. I'm not sure it’s the best thing to be nostalgic about."
