Richardp ...no idea mate ive always prefered 99-30 =
some one from BBC news must be reading this forum, this was from the news this morning.
"The 99 ice cream was launched in the 1930's. At this time much of the British ice cream industry was run by Italians (people close to our hearts) and it was they who chose the name for the 99. There was a legend that an Italian King had the very finest group of soldiers for his bodyguards - 99 of them in fact. This is why the number 99 represents quality."
