The name never meant 99p They used to be less and ice cream men don’t fuss around with pennies for change!
Some things should just be immune to inflation. Like Fredoβs
Theyβre actually called 99βs because they are 99mm long
Fun fact but the price has nothing to do with the name, they got popular in the 1920s and 99p back then would be around Β£66, which is defiantly not the price of 1 ice cream
