Hokey pokey is a flavour of ice cream in New Zealand consisting of plain vanilla ice cream with small, solid π lumps of honeycomb toffee. Hokey pokey is the New Zealand term for honeycomb toffee.[2][3][4][5] The original recipe until around 1980 π consisted of solid toffee, but in a marketing change, Tip Top decided to use small balls of honeycomb toffee instead. It π is the second-most popular ice cream flavour behind vanilla in New Zealand,[6] and is a frequently cited example of Kiwiana.[7] π It is also exported to Japan, Australia, and the Pacific Islands.[8] Origins and etymology [ edit ] The term hokey pokey has π been used in reference to honeycomb toffee in New Zealand since the late 19th century. The origin of this term, π in reference to honeycomb specifically, is not known with certainty, and it is not until the mid-20th century that hokey π pokey ice cream was created.[citation needed] Coincidentally, "hokey pokey" was a slang term for ice cream in general in the 19th π and early 20th centuries in several areas β including New York City[9] and parts of Great Britain β specifically for π the ice cream sold by street vendors or "hokey pokey men". The vendors, said to be mostly of Italian descent, π supposedly used a sales pitch or song involving the phrase "hokey pokey", for which several origins have been suggested. One π such song in use in 1930s Liverpool was "Hokey pokey penny a lump, that's the stuff to make ye jump".[10] |
