A 99 Flake, 99 or ninety-nine [1] is an ice cream cone with a Cadbury Flake inserted in the ice cream. The origin of the name "99" remains opaque, "lost in the mists of time" in Cadbury's inventive phrasing. I find the cone a papery and insipid thing, prone to sogginess: the 99 cone has nothing on a Cornetto.

Some suggestions for the name are brilliantly barmy; there seems little substance to the theory that the name derives from the fact that the initials IC for ice-cream match the pig Roman numerals for 99. The term can also refer to the half-sized Cadbury-produced Flake bar, itself specially made for such ice cream cones, and to a wrapped product marketed by Cadbury “for ice cream and culinary use”. When Cadbury launched its small Flake for ice creams in 1930, the UK ice cream industry was dominated by ex-pat Italians.
