Bidding on what is claimed to be the last tin of Creamola Foam in existence has reached an effervescent £335.
Lochgelly couple Roddy and Janice Nicoll began selling off their collection of confectionery curios when they moved to Glasgow.
Last week they put up a tin of lemon and a tin of raspberry Creamola Foam for auction on ebay.
The auction does not close until Monday night, but bidding demand for the rare items is so high that the price has already reached £335, with 42 people bidding.
An earlier bid offering £900 for the crystals was withdrawn.
Janice told The Courier last week: “As we both approach our 50th birthdays the time has come for them to move on to either a private collection, a museum or the hands of whomever wants to be the last Scot to ever taste the original real thing, or pop the wee paper seal on the top of a Creamola can for the last time.”
Creamola Foam was manufactured and sold in Scotland until the 1998 when production ceased.
It was made of powder that dissolved in cold water to create a fizzy drink with a creamy foam head.
Despite being discontinued in 1998, the drink has remained a nostalgic favourite for many Scots.
Fife company Ally Bally Bees Ltd now produces its own version of the drink called Krakatoa Foam.
However, the exact recipe for Creamola Foam went missing in 2004 after the rights were snapped up by Nestle and then subsequently the Brands Partnership.
The Beatson Cancer Charity will receive 20% of the proceeds from the sale of the last remaining cans.
