All Whippy Ice Cream Vans say Thank You Mrs Thatcher

Margaret Thatcher -  soft-scoop ice-cream

 Margaret Thatcher will be remembered for many different things but from us in the ice cream industry we say thank you.Before entering politics, former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher put her Oxford chemistry degree to good use with a research job at food manufacturer J. Lyons and Co.
Tasked with whipping more air into ice cream, she produced a type of ‘soft-scoop’ cream which could be pumped through a machine. It heralded Mr Whippy vans and the ‘99’ cone.
