Plus you could get them frozen in the tetrahedron shaped pack like a lolly or melted as a drink. :D

Just before Thatcher the Milk Snatcher stopped our school milk it came in little tetrahedron cartons. There was a little bit of paper stuck over a hole that you pushed a straw into.

Similar to the Jubblys today are Calipos, we've always got a few boxes in the freezer for a refreshing change to a cup of coffee.

Looks like one of those dark volcanic mills that Derek Trotter spoke about. Or was it dark satanic mills.......

Library Picture. Looks like the MG Mero owner wants their car nicked as someone has already had the petrol flap away.

Your last picture is in the Netherlands, Amsterdam as far as I can see. The VAN has an Dutch registration plate UA-40-52, on the doors is the text SERVICE WAGEN.
