Hey @Baku@aussie.zone assuming you are talking about the uninspiring frozen cordial that some Australians fantasise about and not the band I'll tell you what happened to them. Probably discontinued due to lack of sales. Unless you had a pair of sharp titanium steel scissors or prepared to gnaw through the packaging like a rat for half a day, they just weren't worth the work. If you were able to penetrate that possible carcinogenic packaging you then had to suck it like a mother's tit which would leave you with a giant ice block. Anyway I look forward to your next question.

*sorry if I crushed someone's nostalgia dream.

One of those childhood memories that, when revisited, turns out to be not as good as you thought it was.

I’m looking at you, burger rings.

No idea how I ever ate bubble gum icecream, that stuff is vile.

Exactly. They were never "burger" flavour but they atleast had flavour. Not any more.

The work required to have a frozen cordial made it sweeter and on a very hot day the cold cordial and holding the ice block was cooling.

it was hot out there at lunchtime, the water from the taps was warm , there was little shade

I think when people worked out you could freeze Primas, were cheaper and had more flavours was probably the beginning of the end.
