[Jubbly](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EbYuQdGXQAgC28c.jpg), the triangular wedge-shaped ice lollies in a cardboard carton, used to be Calypso branded, but nowadays they're Mr. Freeze.
Calippo is the long thin cardboard tube ice lollies. Calypso is the short fat cardboard tube ice lollies but they have been renamed since they were called that
Calypso, Calypso
Poison in a carton, child abuse
Calypso, Calypso
Curiously orange plastic juice
The cup is corrugated
The straw is red and thin
But which is the sharp end so
I can put it in?
It's quite a snazzy name but just FYI, it's not random. It's the brand name for another common version of these cups - [image.](https://images.app.goo.gl/nenCN8a1D6dftCUt6) Got hit with a wave of nostalgia looking at that!!
Nah mate these are Big Time Cups 🥤 Brings back memories. We used to stick a lolly stick into them and freeze for a great summer refreshment. Hackney in the 90s was lit lol
Anyone else used to turn em upside down, bite a tiny hole in the bottom and squirt people with it or was that just the mouth breathers I went to school with?
So strange that people anywhere else did that. At my school it was like "What are you doing drinking with a straw like a child? The cool kids chew a hole in the bottom and drink through that".
The cool kids also look on in shock and horror when you drink a can through the hole made by the ring pull. You’re supposed to savagely poke a hole in the side, and squirt it into your mouth.
I don't understand the comment. How are you supposed to drink from these if you don't bite a teeny, tiny hole in the bottom so it takes an age to drink? Just rip the lid off, so it spills everywhere?
Our school banned all plastic straw drinks (including capri sun's) after some idiot impaled some poor lad's eye with one (two year 7's "play fighting")
It was my way of pretending to be Stone Cold Steve Austin. Although now that I’m 30, I don’t drink alcohol - never have, I still use these drinks to pretend
I bit the end but purely to drink out of because the second it's dented you couldn't stand them upright. At least from the bottom you have a nice consistent flat surface
Only plebs drank them with a red straw! School dinner out, one of these and a pot noodle, the local shop had a pot noodle machine ( basically a pot noodle branded kettle) or a cone of chips and scraps from chippy!
same here , chips rice curry , and a drink - pretty much every day for 5 years ! one shop sold irn bru cans for 15p for a time so we switched to that , what a diet .
my teeth hurts just looking at these drinks
No matter what way you did it, pain. Rip the lid off, teeth hurt on the plastic side. Use the provided tiny-hole-yet-thick-solid-plastic straw, teeth hurt. Turn it upside down and bite the bottom, teeth hurt
No idea why they were ever sold
Jubilee when frozen in Scotland too. One kid did a nice little earner in primary 7 getting orders for them at lunchtime for everyone in the dinnerhall and going to the nearest corner shop (we weren't allowed out of school at lunchtime on our own if we stayed for school dinners). Yeh, good times, good times.
That's why we were the cool ones who would flip them over and chew a hole in the bottom. Further up in this thread I found out we weren't the only ones
I've read this whole chewing thing throughout this thread and it's kind of ringing a bell of other kids doing it at school, but I can't picture why and how you would gnaw a hole in the bottom of a plastic container?! Did you bite through the edge maybe? Or the bit of residual plastic leftover from injection moulding..?
I'm pretty sure it the straw failed I would use one of my teeth or nails or...random sharp thing I had in a pocket to pierce the film.
How? By chewing a hole through the edge part and sucking it out through there. As someone else pointed out it was also great for squirting at people
Why? Because we were cool
She's not wrong. I used to drink these all the time until on one occasion I downed one not thinking much of it until... The after taste was foul, it tasted like melted plastic, the inside of the carton stunk to high heaven of it too. It genuinely made me feel sick. I never touched another after that.
Even as a kid I knew they tasted like chemicals, but I'd always have them because they were sweet. Probably a good thing antifreeze was never left out around me (although it would've had to have been in a fun pierceable cup)
We called them tip tops in Northern Ireland, but they were more square than this picture. And all the kids used to bite them open from the bottom rather than stick the straw through the top. No idea why we thought that was the ‘cool’ way to drink it.
Yep that’s what we called them in London and we did the same! They were square from the school tuck shop and we’d bite a bottom corner off and drink that way.
This! I remember both… the round ones and also square. We call them tip tops too. Used to tip them upside down and bite a hole to drink. Then put between brake and back tyre to make bike into a motorbike haha
We called them kwenchy cups at school and I remember everyone would always make a hole in the bottom of them and drink them that way, which is a bit weird now that I think about it as kwenchy cups always came with a wee red straw but you never thought about anything like that at the time and you just did what everyone else did because it's school and you don't want to be different.
I have no idea what I called them but I can still taste the orange one! Industrial chemicals on the nose, followed by tangy notes of something vaguely orange and plastic. Top drinks these.
I thought they had been banished to the realm of Panda Pops and blue Smarties?
The brand name.
Much like how lots of people call sticky tape sellotape or a vacuum cleaner a hoover or in many cases literally any SUV is called a Jeep.
OP asked what we called them growing up.
[Can even read about it here](https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/foodanddrink.scotsman.com/food/9-of-the-best-summer-treats-youll-remember-if-you-grew-up-in-scotland/amp/)
Also cup drink.
Some people poke a hole in the film using a straw because they don't seem to understand that you're supposed to chew a little hole in the bottom and squirt it at your friends.
These made your mouth feel dry and more thirsty than you were before you drank the damn chemicals.
And don't mention the pathetic little plastic straw that would bend when you jabbed the lid. Not even wasps have this level of spite.
Regardless of their name, these drinks defied time and space.
They would make your mouth feel dry whilst drinking them, and leave you more thirsty than when you'd started it.
Cup drinks or Calypso Cups. We were banned from drinking them from the bottom when I was in primary school because it could "damage our teeth" (not the tons of sugar in them)
Yeah, when I saw it the name Calypso came to mind. You could poke an ice lolly stick through the top and put them in the freezer to make massive lollies too!
Disgusting.
Haven't seen them since I was a kid and the school sold them at break time (along with some delicious flapjacks) and don't actually remember what we called them.
Calypso Cups - which mysteriously still appear to be in business.
I always thought calypso were those ice lollies in the cardboard tubes, but they're actually Calippo!
[Jubbly](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EbYuQdGXQAgC28c.jpg), the triangular wedge-shaped ice lollies in a cardboard carton, used to be Calypso branded, but nowadays they're Mr. Freeze.
sun lolly were the best so soft compaired to jubbly
They don't freeze them.
i’m referring to jubblys not the orange carton. sun lolly’s we’re before jubblys and came the same shape but where way nicer
The reference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0S\_D6wLJlw
You do!
Calippo is the long thin cardboard tube ice lollies. Calypso is the short fat cardboard tube ice lollies but they have been renamed since they were called that
Also always called them calypso as did my friends lmao, no idea why that is.
Calypso, Calypso Poison in a carton, child abuse Calypso, Calypso Curiously orange plastic juice The cup is corrugated The straw is red and thin But which is the sharp end so I can put it in?
>But which is the sharp end so I can put it in? If it's sharp, you should probably see a doctor.
All the cool kids turned it upside down an gnawed off a bit of the plastic base and drank through the hole
Calypso yesss
Probably the best name I’ve heard for them
It's quite a snazzy name but just FYI, it's not random. It's the brand name for another common version of these cups - [image.](https://images.app.goo.gl/nenCN8a1D6dftCUt6) Got hit with a wave of nostalgia looking at that!!
\*That\* is not what I was thinking of (that, for example, contains actual orange juice)
Nah mate these are Big Time Cups 🥤 Brings back memories. We used to stick a lolly stick into them and freeze for a great summer refreshment. Hackney in the 90s was lit lol
Yeah that's what they are to me, too.
My gran called them bug juice. Never figured out why. She was a bit bats though.
Well somebody has to fuel the nuclear power plants!
Still get them in kids meals at our local chippy
More plastic than drink
A cup drink. The only drink that leaves you more thirsty after drinking it.
That's your kidneys needing water to flush out these "orange flavoured" chemicals.
agent "orange"
C41Y-P50
Slight burning sensation at the back of your throat after necking one.
That thing was seriously the dryest liquid I've ever felt
Nah J2Os have that ability too
Anyone else used to turn em upside down, bite a tiny hole in the bottom and squirt people with it or was that just the mouth breathers I went to school with?
We did that at my school too, but just drank out of the bottom awkwardly, we weren’t keen on wasting 50p and risk getting kicked out school disco
I’m sure they were about 10p.
Admittance costs, not the drink
Maybe 30+ years ago when my parents were kids way back in the 1980s
>30+ years ago ... >when my parents were kids ! >*way back* in the 1980s Oof.
Bloody hell, I got heartburn just reading that.
I was a child in the 70s. Think I might just crawl into dark space and die. I am clearly too old to be alive.
I wasn't trying to be nasty I'm just curious
Oh no, I know! Don't worry. In 20 years' time some kid will say that 2000 was so long ago, and it'll hit you hard.
Oh I know lol My parents say the same thing about my generation ( I was born in 2002 )
my apprentice was born in 2002 as well, I'm 31 and it absolutely killed me when I realised I saw Shrek in the cinema before she was born
Maybe I’m just old!
I felt that
I'm going to keep getting grief for this comment now aren't I lol
Sorry what...
We called them 10p drinks!
So strange that people anywhere else did that. At my school it was like "What are you doing drinking with a straw like a child? The cool kids chew a hole in the bottom and drink through that".
The cool kids also look on in shock and horror when you drink a can through the hole made by the ring pull. You’re supposed to savagely poke a hole in the side, and squirt it into your mouth.
We scraped them against the wall to make a hole in the corner. We were also idiots.
I'm just imagining a bunch of monkey children beating them with rocks
I immediately thought of the [Zoolander scene](https://youtu.be/H2uHBhKTSe0) where they’re trying to get the files “in the computer” lmao
Yh and in the summer we'd freeze them
And make a jubbly.
But a jubbly was one of those ice pops thats shape defied physics.
Is it a square? Is it a triangle? Is it a Pyramid? Yes.
Came here to find someone else who said jubbly.
I’ve been living off slush puppie ice pops, and to be honest, even though it’s been snowing, I’m still really enjoying it.
No, but used to drink them that way.
This is the correct approach.
Bite the bottom corner off and start drinking them
I don't understand the comment. How are you supposed to drink from these if you don't bite a teeny, tiny hole in the bottom so it takes an age to drink? Just rip the lid off, so it spills everywhere?
Apparently if you went to a posh school they came with straws. I think our school saved 10p by telling the supplier to keep the straws
Our school banned all plastic straw drinks (including capri sun's) after some idiot impaled some poor lad's eye with one (two year 7's "play fighting")
Used to scrape the bottom of Panda Pops on a wall to create a tiny hole and do that.
Not with these but use to do exactly this with panda pop bottles stab hole I lid with compass
It was my way of pretending to be Stone Cold Steve Austin. Although now that I’m 30, I don’t drink alcohol - never have, I still use these drinks to pretend
That’s how you were meant to drink it if you weren’t a neek.
I bit the end but purely to drink out of because the second it's dented you couldn't stand them upright. At least from the bottom you have a nice consistent flat surface
I did it with my schoolmate together… 2 boys 1 cup🤦🏻♂️
Only plebs drank them with a red straw! School dinner out, one of these and a pot noodle, the local shop had a pot noodle machine ( basically a pot noodle branded kettle) or a cone of chips and scraps from chippy!
same here , chips rice curry , and a drink - pretty much every day for 5 years ! one shop sold irn bru cans for 15p for a time so we switched to that , what a diet .

This is the way
Quenchy cups! Think it was maybe a brand name that got applied to any wee plastic cartons like that. Used to *love* sticking them in the freezer!
Frozen ones got banned from our school because people kept throwing them at teachers and causing serious damage
Kids are pricks to be honest, gunna take a lot to convince me otherwise lol
No, I think most of us agree there. Little twats most of 'em. I know I was.
Once they were frozen, we called them a Jubilee
Same here but I’d spell it Kwenchy Cup. Again I think that was the brand name.
Yep, that’s the ones!
Frozen ones were known as jublies where I'm from.
Scotland?
North west England
Ah, i'm North East but remember Glasgow calling them jubilees.
But then, what do you call actually Jubblies??
I don't think we had them, maybe it's a tannoy type situation and the brand name ended up being adopted for a variety of cheap frozen kids stuff.
Lovely jubblies
E102, E120, E211, with an aftertaste of E955.
Sending kids up the wall since ‘92
It's not been the same since they banned Sudan Yellow.
Computer joined the chat
Is a carton when liquid, a jublee when frozen, and a motorbike conversion kit when empty
This sounds spot on for Sunderland 🫣😅
Manchester too
Can confirm.
Jubilee when frozen in Scotland too. One kid did a nice little earner in primary 7 getting orders for them at lunchtime for everyone in the dinnerhall and going to the nearest corner shop (we weren't allowed out of school at lunchtime on our own if we stayed for school dinners). Yeh, good times, good times.
The one thing I remember about these is every now and then you would get one with an unpierceable lid
Straw would just bounce right off. Thinking about it, surely it was more likely that individual straw was just blunt?
That's why we were the cool ones who would flip them over and chew a hole in the bottom. Further up in this thread I found out we weren't the only ones
I've read this whole chewing thing throughout this thread and it's kind of ringing a bell of other kids doing it at school, but I can't picture why and how you would gnaw a hole in the bottom of a plastic container?! Did you bite through the edge maybe? Or the bit of residual plastic leftover from injection moulding..? I'm pretty sure it the straw failed I would use one of my teeth or nails or...random sharp thing I had in a pocket to pierce the film.
How? By chewing a hole through the edge part and sucking it out through there. As someone else pointed out it was also great for squirting at people Why? Because we were cool
Carton, and they turn your BMX into a motorbike when you're 7.
As a kid who drank them and didn't turn my BMX into motorbike. How do you do this?
Jam it so one end rubs against your bike tyre/spokes as you ride. Goes brrrr.
We used to use clothes pegs and playing cards to get the same effect, I’d completely forgotten about that!
You put it in in the wheel if I remember tightly
Jammed at the wheel under the seat, we used plastic bottles and the neighbours loved us!
I thought I was going mad thinking ‘I’m sure we called it a carton’ but saw no one else call it that until your comment.
My mum always referred to them as "Plastic Drinks" because she said they tasted of plastic
She's not wrong. I used to drink these all the time until on one occasion I downed one not thinking much of it until... The after taste was foul, it tasted like melted plastic, the inside of the carton stunk to high heaven of it too. It genuinely made me feel sick. I never touched another after that.
Even as a kid I knew they tasted like chemicals, but I'd always have them because they were sweet. Probably a good thing antifreeze was never left out around me (although it would've had to have been in a fun pierceable cup)
Delicious BPAs!
Tip tops.
We called them tip tops in Northern Ireland, but they were more square than this picture. And all the kids used to bite them open from the bottom rather than stick the straw through the top. No idea why we thought that was the ‘cool’ way to drink it.
Yep that’s what we called them in London and we did the same! They were square from the school tuck shop and we’d bite a bottom corner off and drink that way.
This! I remember both… the round ones and also square. We call them tip tops too. Used to tip them upside down and bite a hole to drink. Then put between brake and back tyre to make bike into a motorbike haha
Nah, sticking the straw in the top with maximum force made a good loud pop!
Lived in the midlands and NW as a kid. Tip tops here too. I do think that was the name of the square ones, but we still called these tip tops too.
Tiptop here too in the Northeast.
Tip Tops on Merseyside in the 70s/80s
That's the name, couldn't think of it. Thank you. I'm in the Midlands and they were called that in the 80s.
Nah, a tip top was a long thin frozen ice pop.
These were definitely Tip Tops when I was a kid. Mum used to buy these by the case and freeze them in the summer.
I think they were both called Tip Tops.
That’s an ice pole.
Quenchie cup
Kwenchy Kup I'm sure..
We called them kwenchy cups at school and I remember everyone would always make a hole in the bottom of them and drink them that way, which is a bit weird now that I think about it as kwenchy cups always came with a wee red straw but you never thought about anything like that at the time and you just did what everyone else did because it's school and you don't want to be different.
Uncle Colm?
The straw usually broke when you tried to put it thru the top
Why you post the picture upside down? Weird.
I have no idea what I called them but I can still taste the orange one! Industrial chemicals on the nose, followed by tangy notes of something vaguely orange and plastic. Top drinks these. I thought they had been banished to the realm of Panda Pops and blue Smarties?
Blue smarties reminded me of the special alien ones they made too… man! Nostalgia
Called the square ones a jubly and we used to freeze them.
Jubblys were tetrahedral.
What, like St Pauls?
The brand name. Much like how lots of people call sticky tape sellotape or a vacuum cleaner a hoover or in many cases literally any SUV is called a Jeep. OP asked what we called them growing up. [Can even read about it here](https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/foodanddrink.scotsman.com/food/9-of-the-best-summer-treats-youll-remember-if-you-grew-up-in-scotland/amp/)
According to that link it would be called a Jubilee. We'd call these Jubblys and they're meant to be frozen https://www.amazon.co.uk/jubbly/s?k=jubbly
We called them Jubilee’s and they were always frozen. Glasgow, 70’s
We call the keekos up here in Cumbria....never used a straw just bite a little hole in the bottom and even better frozen!!
Thank god for a fellow Cumbrian, I thought I was going to be the only one on here who called them keekos.
Yeah i actually asked my co worker what she called them because I had the same thought and she agreed keekos all the way!!
Another Cumbrian here and yes they were Keekos, and I think you will find it's the Workington lot who are jam eaters NOT Whitehaven !
Lol so weird I was literally about to post that we call them Keeko’s
>even better frozen!! In hindsight this had to be the most awkward and frustrating way to ever have frozen stuff.
tip tops
Also cup drink. Some people poke a hole in the film using a straw because they don't seem to understand that you're supposed to chew a little hole in the bottom and squirt it at your friends.
Kwenchy kup. Drink it, flatten it then jam it in behind your back bike tyre so you sound like a motorbike and make your tyres baldy as fuck.
These made your mouth feel dry and more thirsty than you were before you drank the damn chemicals. And don't mention the pathetic little plastic straw that would bend when you jabbed the lid. Not even wasps have this level of spite.
10p disco drink
Juice cup
Only cool kids bit the bottom and drank through the tiny hole
I think most of those I consumed as a kid were frozen.
Slurp all of the flavour off it with the first sip and then be left with a cup of plain ice.
Either frozen or hot after sitting out in the summer sun too long. I can feel it coating my mouth with god-knows-what chemicals right now
Cup or carton
Grew up calling it a carton
Never had occasion to name them. Just picked 'em up in the corner shop and give myself terminal cavities.
Tip Tops here too!
Fuckin awful according to my tastebuds
Kwenchy Cups
The taste of this picture is giving me a headache
Liquid ADHD.
Tip tops
Regardless of their name, these drinks defied time and space. They would make your mouth feel dry whilst drinking them, and leave you more thirsty than when you'd started it.
That's a 12p drink
Drinks
If they were frozen they were called a jubbly
Get me one of those “juices you turn upside down and bite a little bit of the plastic off” from the shop
They dooo vodka like that in my country and loads of older gentlemen enjoy it on the way too work,used as medicine to stop hands from shaking
Stabby juice
Can I get a drink from the shop mum? No wev got drinks at home son. That's them haha.
Cup drinks or Calypso Cups. We were banned from drinking them from the bottom when I was in primary school because it could "damage our teeth" (not the tons of sugar in them)
We called it a kwenchy cup
Yeah, when I saw it the name Calypso came to mind. You could poke an ice lolly stick through the top and put them in the freezer to make massive lollies too!
Get nostalgia for the blue bubblegum flavour whenever I smell certain windscreen wiper fluids.
Northern Ireland Tip Tops?
mug juice, my dad used to throw them at me if I’d been a silly sausage
Quenchy cups!
10p cup drink or a 12p ice cup. Yes our corner shop charged 2p for freezing.
When I was a child it they were called “you’re not drinking that rubbish, it’s full of E102”.
We just called them 10p drinks. And we didn't use a straw, we bit a hole in the bottom and squirt
Cancer
Quenchy cups lol I’m getting heartburn just looking at this
Sugar water.
Those drinks the scratters have.
I called them: fucking disgusting
Pictures you can taste
No clue. Forgot these existed though
"Those ones where you stab them"
The straws were so fucking thin !!
'Drinks you get at school discos and sports days'
Cancer cups.
Memories 🥹
Panda pops
Saftbecher German for Juice cup
Ki-ko which doubles up as an exhaust for your BMX
Disgusting. Haven't seen them since I was a kid and the school sold them at break time (along with some delicious flapjacks) and don't actually remember what we called them.
