The story

Launched by Bird's (the custard people) in 1967, Angel Delight became the ultimate 1970s teatime treat: no cooking, no oven, just cold milk whisked into a sachet of pastel powder until it magically turned into a fluffy mousse. It's never actually gone away, and you can still buy it in supermarkets today, though the recipe has been quietly tweaked over the decades to lose some of its more lurid additives.

Come back tomorrow for a new quiz!
