99 Ice Cream
A 99 Flake ice cream, or more commonly a 99, is an ice cream cone, usually made with soft serve ice cream rather than scooped ice cream, into which a Flake bar has been inserted, typically at an acute angle to the cone. The ice cream is usually vanilla flavoured. They are traditionally sold by ice cream vans and parlours. Variations include a 99 with two flakes - often referred to as a double 99 or "bunny's ears" - and a 99 with strawberry or raspberry topping sauce, sometimes known as Monkey's Blood.
There are many references to 99s in British pop culture. The pop-electronica duo The KLF notably used ice cream van iconography and included the phrase "Make mine a 99" in their 1991 single version of "Justified and Ancient".
An alternative savoury version of the snack substituting mashed potato for ice cream and a sausage for the Flake was developed in 2008 by Aunt Bessie's.
