I’d be buying a lottery ticket if I’d had that sort of luck.
Is there a cone?
I paid £4.50 for a Mr Whippy with a flake about half the size of that the other week… Felt sick…
So, the legends were true‽
Looks almost too good to eat, almost
It is a thing of beauty. What was the catch though?
WHERE?? WGARERE DID YOU PURCHASE THIS HOLIEST OF 99s???
Lies!!!!!!
With a flake too? WTF where did you get a time machine from?
Receipt or it didn’t happen! 😛
I wish I could find a 99 for 99p.
Sssshhh, you’re not supposed to tell people when you time travel.
And you seem to be in a public place of some sort judging by all the cars? Those ice cream vans that park up in parks/beaches are the worst offenders of them all!
In your dreams OP! They’re £3.60 round our way 😡
I remember reading that the 99 doesn’t actually come from the price being 99p, but I’m more preoccupied by the size of that lovely ice cream. We’re all out of frozen treats at home and I’m really jonesing for some soft serve.
I feel like this may actually make me believe the stuff I’ve seen on TikTok about people not just buying ice cream and ice lollies from the ice cream man anymore because I remember 99s not even costing 99p anymore growing up in the mid 2000s and early 2010s like how are they operating on these prices now lol. But for 99p 99s I’m willing to just say it’s a baseless conspiracy that needs no further investigation.
LIAR!
😂
Are you sure that you weren’t visited by the Ancients of Mu Mu?
They have travelled the world
With their ice cream van
Their voyage, the bottom of time
They have entered the place
where the Mu Mu mate
And their children still cry
“Mines a a “99””.
LIES!!!!
You’re in for a butt load of know it alls explaining about the origin of the name 99
This should be in r/britishsuccess
I was accosted by an ice cream seller recently about this, as my wife jokingly said “Is it a 99 if it costs £2.50”.
The chap told me that it was based on an Italian monarch that had 99 guards who were his elite guards and the Italians used “99” to mean top quality. The internet suggests that this could be correct but also who the fuck knows.
So much to say, I wish mine had cost 99p and not £2.50.
That’s worryingly cheap and the portion is unnaturally generous. Are you sure it’s not AI? Or a bio weapon that’s now controlling your nervous system? Could you physical feel it in your hand or do you feel you were being gaslit? Was it cold and creamy and sweet? Did it pass the lick test.
This is 100% legit. I had one yesterday. You are at the Fighting Cocks in the ~~aisle~~ Isle of Wight.
This is my favourite pub on the island for a family visit. Food is good and cheap. Outdoor entertainment for the kids. Old Mout pineapple cider on draught for the wife. Beaver town Neck Oil on draught for me.
Get the dirty fries. They are under ~~“sided”~~ “sides” but they are a main meal and are amazing! Do it!

Are you a time traveller from the 1980s?

Mandatory £9 for 2 ice creams
Where’s the Monkey Blood?
You should seal it in epoxy resin
