Global InformationWibbly Wobbly Wonder information
The Wibbly Wobbly Wonder was an ice cream on a stick which was marketed in Ireland in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. It was made by HB Ice Cream,[1][2] having been conceived in 1974 as a cost saving measure by Gerry Keegan, an accountant at the company at the time.[citation needed] It was taken off the market in the late 1990s, before being made and marketed again briefly as part of HB's 80th anniversary celebrations in 2006.[3][4]
The lower half of a Wibbly Wobbly Wonder was divided between pink strawberry and yellow banana flavoured ice cream, with the upper half consisting of frozen yellow lemon jelly, coated in chocolate.[5]
