Who manufactured creamola foam?!


Question:

Who manufactured creamola foam?


Answers:
It was manufactured in Glasgow and sold mainly in Scotland from the 1950s until Nestlé ended production in October 1998.
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 original packaging consisted of a small tin with a tight tin lid, normally pried off with a teaspoon. A paper seal covered the foam crystals.
The packaging included the phrases:
"CREAMOLA FOAM CRYSTALS"
"MAKES 10 BIG DRINKS"
"FULLY SWEETENED"
The revision introduced in the 80s featured a plastic lid and modernised branding. The label reads, "Creamola FOAM".

A large number of Scottish 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.

Letter from Cremola Foam
"Thank you for your recent enquiry.

We are sorry to inform you that Cremola Foam has
been withdrawn from our range in October 1998
due to the high cost of production and the relatively
low level of sales.

This product was a Nestle UK (Rowntree's) product
and is not available abroad. We hope that this is
not too disappointing a reply and that you appreciate
our position.

Thank you once again for taking the trouble to contact
us.
