Why dont 99s cost 99c

i bought my little brother an ice cream today a 99 and she charged me 1.50

i remember when 99s cost 99c

the marketing writes itself with that one

and to buy a separate flake was 60c :eek:

I remember 99s costing 99p, my question is what were they called when they cost less than 99p

A 99.

The name has nothing to do with the cost of it.

Originally they cost 9 groats and 9 tuppence. It was just a freak coincidence when we moved to metric that it worked out as 99p

Sure a 69 is €100, depending on where you go in Capel street and Smithfield.

Because 99 is the product code for the flakes and the name doesn't reflect the cost.?
Does a BMW 520 cost 520 euro?

I thought it was called that cause of the hundreds and thousands on it??

The carefully count out 99 sprinkles for each 99?

Anyway, a 99 does not come with them.

Back to the ice cream re-education facility with you, you've got it all wrong.

allthedoyles

Our local ice-cream van charges €2.50 for a 99 - and if he reads this thread he might increase that to €2.99.
