Ice Creams from Yesterday and Today
Many ice cream manufactures each year look to cash in on latest trends and fashions, some endure the test of time while some ice creams are seen just for one summer season.
The Fab lolly has to be one of the outstanding iconic named brands to endure.Introduced in 1967 now holds the title as longest running continuous ice lolly on the UK market.
Below are some ice lollies that have come and gone due to fashion changes
Who remembers Steve Austin the Six Million Dollar Man and the bionic lolly.Or the Dalek’s Death Ray popularised by DR Who.
The haunted House lolly was a milk flavoured lolly and many a child used to unwrap as quickly as possible to see what ghostly print was on their lolly.
The Zoom lolly has been around nearly as long as the Fab and has had an image update so as to look to the future.
Today the favourite lollies chosen by children from their ice cream vans in Kent are split between the branded items such as Chocolate or Mint Feast,Twister,Knobbly Bobbly and non branded favourites such as The Bubblegum lolly and Strawberry lolly.
By far the most popular lolly which outsells all others is the Smartie pop up 
A New Product introduced by Markes Ice Cream vans for 2012 season is the much loved by all who try one The Ben and Jerrys Wich sandwich.
A combination of ice cream and chocolate chip cookie is proving very popular with young and old.
By far the the main reason for choosing to visit one of Kent’s favourite ice cream vans is to sample the delicious soft whip ice cream and the vast array of ways to sample it.
Of course the best known is the 99 style ice cream with the extra delight of an added Cadbury Flake. Markes Ices are always looking to bring new and exciting ways to add to the experience and for the 2012 season introduced the marshmallow cone,soft whip ice cream cone then rolled in multi coloured marshmallows with a topping sauce of choice.
Company spokesman Robert Ellinor said “For the first time we have seen the new marshmallow cone outselling the flake 99 with children”.
Add to this old favourites such as the Popeye, Oyster, and sherbet cones the biggest problem is which to choose today.
Markes Ices also offer eight flavours of ice cream and sorbet’s from Strawberry,bubblegum,lemon ice,chocolate,mint choc chip,coconut,cherry and apple.
