	Fab (brand) Fab is an ice cream brand made by Nestlé. Both the ice lolly on a stick brands 'Zoom' and 'FAB', were introduced in United Kingdom by J. Lyons & Co. Ltd., and were brought out in order to take advantage of the popularity of Gerry Anderson's television series ''Fireball XL5'' and '' Thunderbirds''. The brand Zoom was launched first, in April/May 1963, to capitalise on Fireball XL5, with Fab appearing in May 1967. Initially the Zoom's commercial target was for boys only, being rocket shaped, which left a vast market niche that was filled by the development of the "Fab"; a more feminine looking lolly designed in mind for girls. The lolly was originally pitched at the female market with the association to purchase being the attraction of Lady Penelope.

The original lolly packaging had a prominent image of Lady Penelope and her butler/dri ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Haunted House Ice Cream Haunted House Ice Cream was an ice cream produced in the UK by a company called Lyons Maid. It first went on sale in July 1973 and cost 4p. The ice cream itself was white, and a picture was printed on it in edible ink. There were eight pictures in total: Frankenstein's Monster, a spook, a skeleton, a spider and web, some bats, a wicked witch and a creature. The pictures were shown in one of the following colors: pink, orange, red, green and blue. It was impossible to determine which picture was on the ice cream until the wrapper was opened. It was also impossible to determine which picture was on the ice cream after the wrapper was opened as the picture had inevitably smeared in transit or on opening.
