Until today I was sure that’s what 99 was written for/about since the Get Smart movie came out a few months after the song. Do I feel stupid.
Buy one in the West of England (Devon or Cornwall) and you will find quality ice cream and a Cadbury’s flake are an excellent match (Of course, Cadbury’s have gone downhill since Kraft took over, but the flakes are okay).
Also, bear in mind that back in the 1960s it was quite a treat, with little competition.
I sold ice cream in South Wales, and the basic recipe was skimmed milk powder, margarine, sugar and vanilla essence. No cream. After being passed through the Italian machine, the volume was increased sevenfold. What you got was mostly air.
I have to say the Cadbury flake bar looks amazing.
I would try a “99” Icecream treat.
Whatever the heck the name means.
@bob_2 whatever you said makes absolutely no sense. Could you translate? The kings english isn’t working for me 
Specifically, I found it to pretty dull because I’ve never had the experience of eating a candy bar and thinking to myself “I wish this candy bar was colder and slightly wet”.
I thought it might be a ‘99’! - which was a (sometimes) ‘code’ for an organised rumble or streetfight.
It came from a rugby tour in the 1970s - if the captain called ‘99’, everyone just bashed the opponent next to them - rugby was one of those sports that ‘allowed’ a certain amount of illegal violence, because it was a ‘tough man’s game!’. In extreme circumstances, the referee might give a perpretator a stern talking to.
I know some of the organised soccer hooligan gangs from that time used ‘calls’ to alert their members to start the fight.
Probably a relief to hear someone say - ‘Let’s have a 99!’, and then be given an ice cream.
It’s described as a perfect date. Obviously that means XXX plus 69.
Sorry Beck. Maybe try Google translate 
I get the impression that the 99 is one of those foods that’s beloved, not because it itself is all that great, but because it’s associated with fond memories like walking along the beach on vacation. Sort of like s’mores: They’re fussy and difficult to make and don’t reach the potential of any of their three ingredients, but when you eat one, you’re sitting around a campfire with friends, so it’s all good.
Isn’t that called a Caligula?
What is the world’s least favorite position?
The 96.
It was often said that rugger was a game for hooligans played by gentlemen, and soccer a game for gentlemen played by hooligans.
No one said there’d be homework! 
Not really. Ice cream on a cone is mostly piled on top, so the flake is useful for pushing it down. Also, the combination of chocolate and vanilla ice cream is excellent. Better than a squirt of flavour or a sprinkle of E-numbers.
I don’t know how normal this is, but I always push the flake as far down into the cone as it will go, so you’re eating just ice cream first (with little fragments of flake), then ice cream and flake, then ice cream, flake and cone, then mostly cone and flake.
That makes way more sense than what I did, which was just remove the Flake and eat it separately.
No, it’s the 68.
That’s where you go down on somebody and they owe you one.
