Co-op in Wick has them as I buy them regularly. Try the Thurso Co-op.

[poppett]

Brass` sweetie shop have lots of old favourites, and JA Mackay the grocer will hunt and take in most anything unusual if folk will buy it.

Cardosi's used to do it.
I used to stock up a few bars for my cycle touring - perfect energy boost for the braes on the west coast!
Don't know whether they do it in the Prices St shop tho'.:confused

Creamola Foam nearly got me arrested as customs men look at funny white powder rather suspiciously :lol:

[butterfly]

I think Red Bull tastes like Creamola Foam.

I have very fond childhood memories of creamola foam. I used to have it as a treat when I came home from school. I still remember where my mum used to keep it in the kitchen cupboard next to the fridge! :eek:

[Kodiak]

I used to give my Son Creamola Foam about 30 odd years ago and he loved it. I must admit I used to like it as well but I think I would find it a bit sweet if I had any now.

[Dadie]

red bull tastes nothing like creamola foam!Creamola foam was better in vodka than red bull as well!

[joxville]

Woo hoo, my sweets arrived today.....time to pig out. :D
