ICE BLOCKS
1980, PETERS (& PAULS)
Released in Australia, these water ice confection treats were sold in a family pack or separately. The rear of the box had a mini-biography of each member, including Eric who had just replaced Peter Criss. The paper wrappers themselves were black and featured a red logo and their faces.
The printing of these were just one long run of member/logo/member/logo etc so individual packets varied depending on where the machine cut the length of wrapper. The ice blocks themselves? Lemonade, Raspberry and Grape flavour ...in case you were wondering.
In the ’70s/‘80s, Peters also released ice-blocks for such franchises as The Smurfs, The Empire Strikes Back and Return Of The Jedi. As with the Star Wars range, the Western Australian versions were released by Pauls because a different company had the rights to the ‘Peters’ name in that state.
