Answer 4

Creamola Foam was a soft drink produced in the form of soluble crystals. It was manufactured in Glasgow and sold mainly in Scotland from the 1950s until Nestlé ended production in October 1998.

Creamola foam came in the form of colourful crystals which were dissolved in cold water to form a sweet, effervescent drink. It was packaged in a small tin labelled with a cartoon girl and boy drinking with straws.

The drink came in Raspberry, Orange and Lemon flavours. Cola flavour was a later addition to the range.

The product was originally owned by Rowntree's before coming under the banner of Nestle UK (Rowntree's) until being sold off to Premier Foods.

The name is often misspelled as Cremola foam.

Demand from the public

A large number of Scottish and Irish people born in the 70s and 80s retain an affection and nostalgia for Creamola Foam, as a drink they enjoyed as children and cannot obtain today

To this effect several online petitions argue for the resumption of the brand. Additionally some internet sites collect details of the drink (such as ingredient lists) in the hope that it might be resurrected in some form in the future.
