MASH 4077 Ice Cream by Paul’s Australia 1978

Posted on December 27, 2019December 27, 2019

The TV series MASH was a huge smash in Australia in the 70’s and 80’s, and so it was surprising but not totally unexpected that a licensed ice cream would be produced. Paul’s Australia had the honour, and below is an example of the wrapper for the individual icy pole.

Streets Flash Gordon Ice Cream 1980

Posted on October 16, 2019October 16, 2019

This is the take-home box released by Streets Ice Cream in 1980 for the film Flash Gordon starring Sam Jones. Wonderful original graphics, plus the ice creams were delicious! I’m looking for a wrapper or sign from this release if you know of one.

Streets Australia Flintstones Ice Cream Box

Posted on September 26, 2019September 26, 2019

These Flintstones icy poles from Streets Ice Cream Australia are from the late 70’s or early 80’s, and the box includes a great cutout Flintstones car on the rear. I’d love to add a wrapper or sign from this release, contact me if you have one or if you know exactly when these were available.

He-Man Masters of the Universe by Streets Ice Cream Australia

Posted on September 16, 2019September 16, 2019

This is the He-Man wrapper from the Streets Australia ice cream / ice treats from 1985. I assume there was a Skeletor wrapper too, if anyone has one (or a picture of one) I’d love to add it here.

Streets Space Invaders Ice Cream

Posted on September 9, 2019September 9, 2019

Only the most popular fads received the coveted licensed ice cream treatment in Australia, so it’s a testament to the legendary Taito Space Invaders video game to see this Milk Bar advertising sign from the early 80’s. While it was the first video game ice treat it wouldn’t be the last, as I’ll show in […]

Doctor Down Under – Doctor Who Ice Cream & Showbag

Posted on April 21, 2012April 22, 2012

Doctor Who has enjoyed a close relationship with Australia since the very beginning, with several key writers, a popular companion (Tegan) and even the composer of the famous theme music being Aussies. The show enjoyed a loyal following on the Australian Broadcasting Commission (ABC) from 1964 until the end of the original series in 1989. […]

Vintage Buck Rogers Australian Ice Creams

Posted on March 12, 2011

In 2007 I showcased the take-home box for Paul’s Buck Rogers ice creams, featuring the Star Stick competition for MEGO Buck Rogers action figures. Since then I’ve been lucky enough to track down both the Milk Bar store dislay and an example of the wrapper, so I’m going to call that a complete set and […]

Peters Smurfee Ice Cream Wrappers

Posted on March 11, 2011June 28, 2011

A few years ago I posted the Milk Bar store display for “Smurfee” Smurf ice creams, now here are three wrappers from that same 1979 release. I’m not sure why the wrapper above is in landscape while the two below are portrait. Possibly the difference was between those purchased in Milk Bars and those […]

Streets Mountie Ice Creams – Bullwinkle the Moose?

Posted on February 11, 2011

The 5c price point on this Australian Milk Bar store display for Streets Mountie ice creams suggests it is from the early 70’s. That also happens to be when I remember watching a lot of Rocky & Bullwinkle on Saturday morning TV. A Canadian moose in a Mountie uniform – what a coincidence! Anyone remember […]
