99 Flake name origin explained in full and it has nothing to do with price
In a bid to beat the heat, many of us will indulge in an ice cream or two to help cool down - but do you know how the iconic soft serve got it's name as a 99 Flake? Another heatwave is blasting across the UK – with weather experts predicting temperatures of 31C in some spots are "quite likely". So in a bid to cool down, many of us will turn to an ice cream, to be enjoyed while sat in the sun and Mr Whippy vans serve up a treasure trove of frozen delights as they cruise our neighbourhoods – from classic Fabs to vibrant Twisters and Fruit Pastille ice lollies. But 99 Flakes remain the ultimate crowd-pleaser from their entire selection. Despite munching on these creamy treats for generations, there are surprising truths about them that folks are only now discovering. One of the biggest myths is that they're dubbed 99 Flakes because of their once rock-bottom price. However, the numeric name was actually chosen by Cadbury. You'll have spotted that 99s exclusively describe ice creams topped with a chocolate flake, an innovation from the British confectionery giant dating back to 1930. The Cadbury website explains that '99' was selected to charm Italian residents in the UK. It carries overtones of being the 'cream of the crop', making the pudding sound utterly special. A company representative said: "An ice cream served in a cone with a Flake 99 is the UK's favourite ice cream. In the days of the monarchy in Italy the King had an elite guard consisting of 99 soldiers. Subsequently anything really special or first class was known as '99'. "When Cadbury launched its small Flake for ice creams in 1930, the UK ice cream industry was dominated by ex-pat Italians. So, to appeal to Italians we called our superb Flake a '99'." Fancy a deep dive into the history of 99 Flakes? Stick with us – we've got all the scoop you need. In an eye-opening chat, a legal boffin spilled the beans on 'exactly' how much dosh Mr Whippy vans rake in from dishing out classic 99 ice creams. And for those with a sweet tooth, brace yourselves – the revelation of the full sugar content in these chocolate delights has left many reeling. It's enough to make you ponder before you polish off a few too many in one sitting! The law expert, who goes by @ matthewfresco online, took to TikTok to break down the costs of the seasonal snack, as he said: "How much does Mr Whippy make when you buy an ice cream, it's £1.19. This vanilla flavoured soft serve ice cream with a chocolate flake served in a cone cost me £2.50." He then pointed out the alleged individual costs involved in making a single ice cream, as he continued: "The cone costs 4p, the half-sized Cadbury's chocolate flake costs 10p. Mr Whippy is the trade name of the soft mix ice cream made by Wall's, it's made from condensed milk, double cream and vanilla, which costs just 2p. "The soft serve machine freezes the mix and injects air. Soft serve is soft, creamy, slow to melt and not mad cold. Half your ice cream is fresh air, that's free, but the machine costs you 3p. To power the machine you've got to run the engine all day, that fuel costs you 53p. That diesel van costs you 9p." That's not all, as Mat added the other costs involved: "Trading license is 1p. Scoops, tubs, spoons are 1p. Insurance is 2p and wages are another 2p." He pointed out that ice cream cones are zero-rated VAT as they are classed as a biscuit, but not when "it's covered in chocolate". Mat said: "VAT at 20 per cent making it 42p. Mr Whippy makes £1.19 when you buy a 99. "A good van like this one can sell 600 ice creams on a sunny day, making £44,000 a year. There's 5,103 ice cream vans in the UK, churning over a cool £220,000,000 a year." The ice cream expert hailed the profit-making business as "fantastic", adding: "There's no cooking, no packaging, no waste, no advertising costs - just play the chimes. We love that music but local councils don't."

Daughter of Freddo creator says he'd be 'disgusted' by price
Leonie Wadin, 74, claimed that since the death of her father, Harry Melbourne, she has not bought one. It was first sold in the UK in 1973 before being taken off the shelves the following year. In 1994, when the chocolate bar went back on sale, it cost 10p, and it has gained a reputation for being a barometer for inflation in the UK. This country is finished. — No Context Brits (@NoContextBrits) February 8, 2025 According to Sky News, it remained at the 10p price until 2007, before it started increasing. Nowadays, it is sold for around 30-35p per bar, with some rare exceptions being sold for £1 in certain shops. Explaining her frustration with the price, Leonie, spoke to Sky News' Money team and said: "Dad was disgusted with how small it is now and how much they charge for it. "He'd roll over in his grave if he could see it now; he'd be disgusted. It was a penny chocolate. "Since Dad died, I haven't bought a Freddo." If the price of a Freddo had increased in line with inflation, today a bar would go for about 21p, not 30p or 35p, according to the Bank of England's inflation calculator. The history of the Freddo bar The chocolate bar was created by Harry Melbourne, who migrated to Australia from the UK at a young age. He was only 14 when he cooked up the bar at the confectionery company MacPherson Robertson in 1930. Leonie explained: "He said children are scared of mice, so why not a frog? Because kids go down to the lake and catch tadpoles." By the time Harry was 15, Freddo - named after his "best mate" Fred - was on the shelves in Australia, selling for a penny, Sky News adds. Cadbury then bought the company in 1967, which saw the Freddo releases internationally in some countries. Melbourne died at the age of 94 in 2007 and his legacy lives on. Leonie has five children, 10 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, and they're all proud of Harry's story. She shared: "They're very proud of their great-granddad, they still buy them [Freddos], they love them." And that's the legacy she wants her family to cherish after her. "Carry on through every heritage, that's what I want," she said. "The Freddo has to be passed on, Freddo is never going to die. "It will always be there… I just want it all passed down, so that the frog is always in our lives." Recommended reading: In a statement to Sky News about the price of the Freddo, Mondelez International, which owns Cadbury, said: "Freddo has endured popularity across generations since originally launching in the UK back in 1973, and continues to be a key part of Cadbury's range today. "Whilst it's important to stress that as a manufacturer we do not set the retail prices for products sold in shops, our manufacturing and supply chain costs have increased significantly over the past 50 years, and Freddo has become more expensive to make. "We have absorbed these increased costs wherever possible, however, on occasion we have made changes to our list prices or multipack sizes to ensure that we can continue to provide consumers with the Freddo that they love, without compromising on the great taste and quality they expect."
