The favourite Ice Lolly on a stick, Introduced by J. Lyons & Co. Ltd. Launched Nationally in May 1967. Designed primarily for the 3 million girls in Britain aged 5-15, the Fab was based around Gerry Anderson's Thunderbirds TV series. Lady Penelope's Rolls Royce number plate was FAB 1. Priced at 6d it consisted of strawberry fruit ice and vanilla ice cream with top dipped in chocolate and coated with 'hundreds and thousands' sugar confectionery. In the modern era their popularity has dropped and been replaced by lollies such as the Twister and various Ice Snacks based around Cartoon characters.
