Many people in the UK tend to buy their 99 cones from a Mr. Whippy ice cream van at the seaside, while around the world, other names include Creemee, Softeis, Gelat tou, Semi-frio and Soft-whip. To make the ice cream, it is as simple as blending a powdered mix with water, churning it until it becomes cold and starts to freeze. Wafer cones provide an easy and relatively hygienic way to eat the 99 whippy, although historically, ice cream was eaten from small, extremely unhygienic serving glasses known as 'penny licks', sold by street vendors.
