Not Jubilee mate...
JUBBLY - Famous for its pyramid (tetrahedron) shape, it was originally sold as a frozen orange-flavoured drink.
Shops and stores started storing them in their freezers and they became more popular as a frozen "lolly" rather than the drink.
Made by Calypso Drinks at their Wrexham factory.
Once again not really a brummy thing.

You shouldn't have bothered if it's boring you .
As you've deemed fit to grace us with your knowledge , there was no need to go out your way and describe one. .As a Brummie I know what a ' jubbly ' is 👍
But thanks .

The Calypso Drinks factory in Wrexham didn't open until 1998 .
The beloved Birmingham Jubbly predates that by nearly 50 years .
Before then Calypso were based in Cheshire , and the Jubbly had long been discontinued before they got to Wales .They revived it in the early 2000's .
They were so popular in Brum that production was line was set up at the nearby Gerard Moor house factory to supply demand in the early 1950's.👍

Angelsey BlueForeverFrancisAngelsey BlueForeverFrancisAngelsey BluePhillystineTraffic light. That's a phrase that Brummies use. My grandad used to say: wait til the traffic light goes green. Remember it wellAngelsey BlueForeverFrancisAngelsey BlueMost of these were common across the country. Very few 'Birmingham' sayings. Remember, pre 1900s, almost everyone in Birmingham came from somewhere else, even if it was just the fields of Warwickshire.
Jubli are from Wrexham
You could say about the etymology of all English language.
Must be why when I said " I went to the outdoor at the back of Rackham's for a pop.As a came out I nearly got hit by a hoss at the island which sent me gambolling landing on my dumpling.My jubli and all my rocks went flying ,and my Dudley was broken ,which left me with a face as long as Livery Street"
Everybody in Yorkshire understood me .👍
Remove the black country words and phraseology and the common use words (island...?) and the Welsh ice lolly, you're left with probably the the two genuinely distinct Birmingham-only sayings.
You understand that dialects tend to be a continuum, right? Black Country and Brummie are going to share words and phrases in the same way that Geordie and Mackem do.
Likewise, both Brummie and Black Country will share words and phrases more regionally (cob vs bap, etc) in the same way that Geordie and Mackem do with Cumbria, North Yorks, Lowland Scots, etc.
If you expect Brummie to have a lot of vocab and phrasing that literally nobody else uses, you're not describing a dialect, you're describing a language.
Definitely used elsewhere in the country, and the words traffic and lights are in the dictionary. The word traffic derives from Old French/Italian and Lights originally from ancient Greek .So not uniquely Birmingham slang I'm afraid Nnrrr .😎👍
Yeah. You might be right. Gravel; that's a Birmingham word.
Nope Proto Celtic origins and you can buy gravel in bags countrywide .
I guarantee no one's eating rocks , sucking on a jubli ,eating a tip top or drinking pop in this weather anywhere but in Birmingham tonight .
However they're not Brummie slang either apparently, i read that somewhere recently .
Who cares anyway ? I'm nursing my dumpling , drank too many tots tonight and ended up doing a gamble in the garden .😆👍
Jubli originate from Wrexham.
Nope !
The Jubbly dates back to 50's .
Calypso drinks didn't move to either Wales or Wrexham till 1998.
