Description
In the interwar period of the 20th Century, Italian immigrants in Britain opened ice cream parlours across the country, including the North East. Examples include Notarianni, which opened in Sunderland in the 1930s and Mincellas, which started as a pitch in Boldon Colliery and is still a thriving business today in Ocean Road, South Shields. Cadbury's press bumph repeats the fallacious but appealing story that a former king of Italy had a private army of 99 elite soldiers, and that the Italian immigrants who pioneered the 20th century British ice-cream trade used "99" as a corresponding symbol for quality and prestige. The OED briskly deems this tale "without foundation", and the theory was comprehensively exploded by Victoria Coren's BBC show Balderdash & Piffle. I naturally favour the noble tale of Edinburgh ice-cream maker Stephen Arcari, who in 1922 allegedly named the 99 after his shop at 99 Portobello High Street. These artisans decided to incorporate the Cadbury Flake into their ice creams in hopes of increasing customers’ interest and boosting sales.

The treat is still a popular favourite from the ice cream van with thousands - perhaps even millions - being sold every year. We have taken a look at the ever-popular ice cream and its history. Cadbury have similarly suggested that the name could originate from another class of 99 men pre-dating the First World War.
