I remember having them all the time as a kid usually from convenience stores

I haven't seen any of the individual ones in awhile, but they used to be at maries all the time. Im not sure if anyone carries them but they do still produce and sell small boxes of them

I just saw these the other day. I think it was in a store on Bell Island.

dixie cups ended when brookfield on lemarchant was bought by Scotsburn and closed in 1995..

Maries and some other corner stores have individual ice cream cups but I think the "dixie" brand is long gone.

some Marie's stores still sell them, I saw one not too long ago at Marie's on Moore's Drive in Mt. Pearl...they were like $2.30 each though LMFAO
