Subject: 70s Ice-Cream product (help)
Written By: coffeestained on 10/22/04 at 6:52 am
In one of the ‚reeling in the years’ moments I have been trying to recall the name (and to find an image on the net) of an ice-cream I used to enjoy. I believe it was a product in the 70s, as I think I was under the age of 10…I also believe it was made by Good Humor, but I don’t think it was sold in the drive-around trucks.
The ice creams were on a stick and there were at least 4 different characters, all monsters; a ghost and a Frankenstein’s Monster, others may have been a witch and a mummy…They were sold in a box, not individual, if memory serves.
And somehow I also had a t-shirt of this product, so it was vaguely popular enough to undergo such marketing.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
j

Haunted House??
1973 Jul
A special process was used to produce this range by printing pictures on the ice cream. There were eight different pictures. Frankenstein's Monster, a spook, a skeleton, spider and web, some bats, a wicket witch and a creature bearing a vague resemblance to Jelly Terror's mother-in-law. The pictures appeared on the ice cream in pink, orange, red, green and blue edible colouring. Children did know what picture they would get until the wrapper had been removed. Price 4p.

Sadly, nope.
These didn't have pictures printed on them, they were shaped like the characters and such. Much like some company (popsicle/good humor?) still makes them these days (I saw an ad last year for Spider-Man typed ice-cream).
Thanks, but the search goes on...

They were much like the Spider-Man and Sponge Bob style shown here.
Better looking, probably better tasting, though.

Did the ghost icecream have blue bubblegum eyes?

It may have, but I don't think so.
And yes, Howard, that was the picture I was referring to on eBay. The monster ice-creams were like that...
We'll figure it out at some point...if only I didn't run away from home; I may have had a photo with that little t-shirt on...
Cheers,
