Warm Ice Cream
Warm ice cream ( pl, ciepłe lody) is a Polish dessert made of egg white-based mousse topped by syrup, chocolate, or other topping, and presented in a waffle cup, resembling soft serve ice cream, and as such giving name to the dessert. Relatively cheap, it is also high in calories. The Polish weekly ''Wprost'' writes that warm ice creams were an invention of nutritionists of the Polish People's Republic, one of ersatz foods, along with Polo-Cockta. Its production was renewed in modern Poland as part of PRL nostalgia. Similar chocolate-coated marshmallow treats, including German ''Schokoküsse'', Danish ''Flødeboller'', and the Israeli '' Krembo'' were also called "warm ice cream" in Poland. In Hungary a similar dessert is called ''télifagyi'' ("winter ice cream"). It was invented and reached the height of its popularity during Soviet times, but is still widely available.

In Hebrew, the word is a combination of (cream) and (in it). A mocha flavour was introduced in 1967. In 1979 Whitman was acquired by Straus ...

PRL Nostalgia
In Polish culture, PRL nostalgia is nostalgia for aspects of life in Polish People's Republic ( pl, Polska Rzeczpospolita Ludowa, PRL). As with other manifestations of Communist nostalgia, for people who lived in the times of the PRL, the two major factors of PRL nostalgia are the dissatisfaction with the present and the memory of the happy and most recollected past. Businesses were quick to respond to the phenomenon by renewing the manufacture of products from PRL times, such as warm ice cream, Polo-Cockta, Junak motorcycles, Ludwik laundry detergent.

Polo-Cockta
Polo-Cockta (sometimes written as 'Polo Cockta' or 'Polo-Cocta') is a Polish Coca-Cola-like drink introduced in the 1970s. Polo-Cockta was introduced as a substitute for the original Coca-Cola, which was unavailable in Polish shops due to limited imports from the US to soviet bloc countries. At first it was based on Cockta, a very popular drink from Slovenia (then Yugoslavia). Polo-Cockta was discontinued during the 1980s, but has been revived for a few years by a private company Zbyszko which acquired all the rights to the brand, reacting to the ever-popular demand for PRL-stylised products, an element of " PRL nostalgia". The taste of Polo-Cockta is sometimes described as a mixture of Coca-Cola and Pepsi. For a while Polo-Cockta was renamed Polo Cola, without change to the product. However, in 2016, Polo Cola was renamed back to Polo-Cockta. Polo-Cockta has made a significant appearance in the Polish film '' Kingsajz'' by Juliusz Machulski Juliusz Machulski (born 10 March ...

Ersatz Good
An ersatz good () is a substitute good, especially one that is considered inferior to the good it replaces. It has particular connotations of wartime usage. Etymology ''Ersatz'' is a German word literally meaning ''substitute'' or ''replacement''. Although it is used as an adjective in English, it is a noun in German. In German orthography noun phrases formed are usually represented as a single word, forming compound nouns such as ''Ersatzteile'' ("spare parts") or ''Ersatzspieler'' ("substitute player"). While ''ersatz'' in English generally means that the substitution is of unsatisfactory or inferior quality compared with the "real thing", in German, there is no such implication: e.g., ''Ersatzteile'' 'spare parts' is a technical expression without any implication about quality, whereas ''Kaffeeersatz'' 'coffee substitute' is not made from coffee beans, and is thus inferior. The term for inferior substitute in German would be ''Surrogat'', which is cognate to English word "sur ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
