When out of the classes, snacks in EGB, had a very important role, had been summer or winter, 

the houses could not miss a loaf of bread and a chocolate bar, in summer the ice cream cartel

had a great multitude of them some ice cream, for example were Popeye, an ice cream orange 

or lemon, had no kind of design, was rectangular, but that made it out cheaper (20ptas).

Another was Colajet, with a design in the form of rocket, with two slices lower cola and lemon 

but he had built a tip of chocolate, an ice cream that did not appear in any cartel but if sold 

in all the kiosks of one, two, or three flavors was cut, you put the price and kiosk pulled that 

huge knife and gave a cut of the bar ice cream, this was cutting.
