There was an article about CF in the Metro newspaper a couple of years back and someone said it was available in Safeway, Airdrie. I went out there but it was obviously not true.
I wrote to their HO in South Africa to tell them the folly of their ways and asked them to at least supply me with a crate of the stuff and name their price for the privilege!
I got a standard e-mail back to say that (effectively) the line had passed it's market shelf life, that the marketing department had taken the decision to withdraw it in the light of receding sales, that such decisions were not arrived at lightly and that there were no plans to reintroduce it etc.
I wrote back to say they had not the slightest idea of how popular a return to our shelves it would prove to be as people all over the place were clamouring for it....and suggested that declining sales were due to the fact that the product simply did not get enough publicity, so much so that the younger generation were never going to buy something they had never even heard of!
A short reply came back to say they would not change their views. And so......
I wrote back to say if they were not going to reintroduce it then it logically followed that they would not be in the least concerned if I manufactured and sold it myself!!! (I have neither the money or know-how to do this but they didn't know that - I just wanted to see if that would make them rethink the issue).
Surprise surprise, they quickly replied that they held the manufacturing rights, name etc and would immediately resort to litigation if I did any such thing. End of story!
So, yes, I will put my name to the petition. But a concerted effort is required here: methinks this needs to go national and raise at least 10,000 names before there's any chance of getting a result. Anybody up for it?
I loved it when I was little but moved to England where no-body had ever heard of it, I'm so pleased to find some fellow fans - after reading this I had a look on the Nestle web site where I found the where can I find creamola foam was one of the most frequently asked questions!! has anyone tried ringing the company they direct you too??
I remember cremola foam from my childhood.....now 28 years and everyone down in kent has never heard of it!! i remember mum buying it in the local co-op on the saturday in inverness! i bought my last tub in sept 98 my first year of uni in aberdeen and it was never to be seen again.....i searched and searched to no avail!!
boo hoo...i would buy a tin every week if we could have it back. i would get it sent over the border by my mammy!!

it foams and fizzes it fizzes and foams as the advert used to say and i think that it had that right taste of rasberry and strawberry not sure about the orange but owell i think nestle suck for taking it away but to bring it out more for the younger generation i think they should send out some free samples!!!!!! i hope that they do bring it out and i know for sure it will defiantly sell!!!!!!!!!
