People enjoy eating ice cream on hot days. Ice cream vans are common in seaside towns. Many people buy ice cream when the weather is nice.

After a heatwave, people complained about ice cream prices on social media. A 99 ice cream now costs up to £6 in some places.

If you want an ice cream without spending a lot, there's a place in the UK that sells 99s for 99p. It's in Essex.

Adventure Island in Southend-on-Sea has an ice cream shop called The Ice Cream Club. They sell 99s for 99p.

The park posted a video saying they sell 99s for 99p. The shop is near the beach and Sealife Adventure.

In the video, customers said the ice cream is creamy and delicious. One man said it's the best he's ever had.

If you have a pass for Adventure Island or Sealife Adventure, you can buy a 99 for 79p.

People were surprised by the low price and want to go to Southend to buy one.

One person said they haven't been to Southend in years and want to go now.

Another person said it's the best idea ever.

Someone else said they paid £4 for an ice cream recently.

Many people think the 99 ice cream got its name because it used to cost 99p. But that's not true.

Nobody knows why it's called a 99. There are many theories, but none are confirmed.

The name '99' has been used since 1930. Cadbury made a special Flake bar for ice cream in 1935.

Even the Oxford English Dictionary doesn't know where the name '99' comes from.

Whatever the reason for the name, 99 ice creams are very popular.
