New Zealand Icecream Wrappers

Here is a look at some New Zealand icecream packaging, from frickr. Most of which I have never seen before. The majority of the wrappers and containers look to be fairly modern.


There is even a set of horror-themed icecreams from Walls: Frank 'n berry, Count Chocula (I think those were both American breakfast cereals ?), Witchy Goo, and Slimey Limey. Totally new to me.

I do remember Joe 90, Zorro, Garfield, Popsicle Band, and Alf.

The regular ones, such as Topsy, Jellytip, Eskimo Pie, and Joy Bar.

  2. Wow, what a great archive of strange cultural ephemera! I kind of forgot about Flickr as being a repository of great collections of vintage stuff! SFZ
