Yes I remember it well - it came in a can which was meant to serve 4 but there was never enough! It was my families special treat that we had when we were on holiday in our caravan (don't know why).

Lol JC67, we too used to have it on our holidays in a caravan.

I am so pleased that so many of you remember it. What a shame they do not do it anymore. I would love to surprise my mum with a can of it.

I was searing eveywhere last night to find the name of it, I tried tracking down all nestlés discontinued products, I tried every search you could imagine, the closest I could find was some sort of sherbert you could add water to and make a drink.

I wasn't born in the 70's but was intregued none the less. I honestly spent at least an hour searching :rolleyes:

As a child i can remember my mum used to get this orange drink that was dry and you made it up with water ,im not sure but i think you can still buy it,was it called appeal or something along those lines

Birds Apeel : we used to take the orange on holiday with us when we went camping. It was meant to be dehydrated pure fruit juice as opposed to a squash, or at least that's what we were told - but whether it was, I've no idea. It had a very particular taste to it - I can still remember it too

We only got Angel Delight on our birthdays as mum was an OSer and everything was home cooked. Never heard of the sweetheart dessert.

Yep I remember that too - it was gorgeous! I would be really surprised if it wasn't crammed full of E numbers - it was too good to be natural!

Creamola foam is the one I found

Was it not like a milk jelly type thing flavoured with strawberry jelly bits mixed in?

I loved butterscotch Angel Delight, but before it set, didn't like them set.
