Paul and Jane took great trouble to track this down on a recent holiday, and I've just had an email offering the possibility of a stawberry flavour version from Germany (the homeland of Bum Bum). But banana, as everyone knows, is the rudest of the fruits. Unless you count cucumbers, which cannot be disqualified on technical grounds.

Specs? It's an ice cream lolly with a stick of chewing gum in the middle - sheer marketing genius.

Anyway, if you don't fancy a whole Gaytime to yourself, perhaps you'd care to share my Bum Bum? (oops - sorry)
