Today I took a trip back in time, it all started when I went to get my car washed at my local car wash (I find this the easiest and quickest way to clean my car) While I was sitting in the queue I decided that I would treat the car and have the top wash programme. As the car was travelling along the conveyer belt and all this soap/wax was being sprayed on to the car I believe I travelled back in time (no need to get up to 88mph) don’t think I travelled that far back in time only to the 1980’s when the slush puppie seemed to be all the rage. I can remember that the Woolworths in Carmarthen had a machine and seeing all the kids gathered around it on a Saturday. Now I don’t know what happened but I do remember hearing that these ice drinks could cause brain damage, the machine vanished from Woolworths so was it true?

Of course the Slush Puppie seems to have made a comeback, especially in these parts but I do seem to remember that originally you could get loads of different flavours and it was this syrup that was added to the ice. The one I had today was already prepared and did not seem as I remember so maybe something’s are best left in the past.
