History

edit

The Jelly Tip was invented by Tip Top in 1951,[1] by people who were tasked with creating an ice cream for active children.[3]

In 2011, the 75th anniversary of Tip Top, the company gave away 50,000 Jelly Tips.[4]

In 2015 and 2021 Tip Top partnered with Griffin's Foods to create a limited edition Jelly Tip biscuit.[5][6] In 2015 and 2016 there was a Whittaker's Jelly Tip chocolate block as a limited edition.[7][8] It later became a permanent item and was made available in Australia in 2020.[9] In 2015 there was a limited edition pavlova Jelly Tip,[10] and a Squiggles Jelly Tip biscuit.[11] In 2019 Tip Top and Primo created a Jelly Tip flavoured milk.[12]

Manufacturing

edit

To make a Jelly Tip, moulds are run through cold water and then jelly is put into the moulds, which is then frozen. Ice cream is then poured on top, and a stick is placed inside. After being taken out of the moulds, they are dipped in liquid chocolate, dried off, and then wrapped.[3]
