A 99 is nothing without a Flake. That shattering finger gives depth and body to the scummy, foamy ice-cream and desiccated cone. The Flake emerged around 1920 when a clever worker at Cadbury's Bournville factory noticed that chocolate overflowing its moulds fell and set in appealing ripples. People seem to have spotted its affinity with ice-cream almost immediately. By 1930, Cadbury's was selling half-length Flake "99s" specifically for prodding into Mr Whippy, or his equivalent. Subsequently anything really special or first class was known as ’99’. When Cadbury launched its small Flake for ice creams in 1930, the UK ice cream industry was dominated by ex-pat Italians. So, to appeal to Italians we called our superb Flake a ’99’.” There are other theories too about how the 99 got its name. As Cadbury itself admits, it does not fully know how the 99 came to be and the Oxford English Dictionary has questioned Cadbury's lines. Whilst an exact explanation might not be available, there are certain theories behind the infamous name.

A 99 Flake, 99 or ninety-nine [1] is an ice cream cone with a Cadbury Flake inserted in the ice cream. The term can also refer to the half-sized Cadbury-produced Flake bar, itself specially made for such ice cream cones, and to a wrapped product marketed by Cadbury “for ice cream and culinary use”.
