| 释义 | > as lemmasninety-nine ninety-nine n. (also 99) British an ice-cream cone made with soft ice cream with a stick of flaky chocolate inserted into it (as 99 a proprietary name in the United Kingdom); (formerly) an ice-cream wafer sandwich containing a similar stick of chocolate; a wafer cone or chocolate stick for an ice cream (disused). [The reason for the name is unknown. The original ice cream contained Cadbury's ‘99’ Flake (produced specially for the ice-cream trade) but the application to the chocolate may not precede its application to the ice cream. The suggestion that something really special or first class was known as ‘99’ in allusion to an elite guard of ninety-nine soldiers in the service of the King of Italy appears to be without foundation.] ΘΚΠ the world > food and drink > food > dishes and prepared food > confections or sweetmeats > ices > [noun] > ice-cream > types or forms of pistachio ice?1790 iced tea1827 tutti-frutti1834 brown-bread ice1846 vanilla ice1846 vanille ice1846 Neapolitan ice1867 Neapolitan ice cream1868 hokey-pokey1884 strawberry ice cream1890 choc chip1903 horn1908 Tortoni1911 slider1915 choc bar1919 cone1920 Eskimo pie1921 brick1922 brickette1922 Eskimo1922 choc ice1924 cornet1926 briquette1927 gelato1932 ninety-nine1935 wafer1936 fudgicle1938 ripple1939 tub1939 vanilla1955 double dip1965 1935 Price List Cadbury Bros.
