It was in the news earlier this year, that an old unopened tin of it was found "'oop north". This caused a bit of a consternation as they believed that the recipe was lost, and none were left in existence. So it'll be back in a shop near you sometine next year?

Never tried the stuff myself. And the ancient can sitting in our kitchen cupboard did nothing to tempt me...
Creamola did a range of food products in addition to the legendary foam. I can't remember when they finally went bust, but Glasgow Uni Archives has some of their more interesting artifacts, including a large poster of an advert from the 50's. It features a kilted young boy literally feeding the world Creamola rice with a giant spoon. If that wasn't strange enough, the world looks like it's wearing lipstick.

Any product with the slogan
"Scotland's Custard" is OK in my book.

No.
In all seriousness, if a google spider finds a site with a lot of links to p*rn, it assumes that the site is trying to "googlebomb" those links, and therefore the site can get delisted by google.
This is why the p*rn spammers are not just a pain in the arse; they could result in this place not being listed in google searches.
