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.

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 … Read More “Streets Space Invaders Ice Cream” »

Possibly the difference was between those purchased in Milk Bars and those … Read More “Peters Smurfee Ice Cream Wrappers” »

The 5c price point on this Australian Milk Bar store display for Streets Mountie ice creams suggests it is from the early 70’s.

Anyone remember … Read More “Streets Mountie Ice Creams – Bullwinkle the Moose?” »

You know those memories from childhood that flood through your mind when you hear an old tune or smell a long lost aroma? Well that’s what it was like when I saw this early 70’s Streets Whammy Stix Milk Bar display. It wasn’t so much the ice cream, it was those great little construction sticks. … Read More “Streets Whammy Stix” »
