In Australia, in the 50's and 60's there was an Arnott's biscuit with
pink icing and dessicated coconut called the Iced Vovo. It became synonymous
with the culture of the day, elevated to cult status as a truly hideous
representative of all that was weird and whacky from the era. Some brightspark
coated a 240 with pink icing and voila!, the Iced Volvo.
Any clues to its whereabouts, email
me!
Feb 08 - The Iced Vovo lives on. Apparently the Australian
Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, is an afficionado and was presented with a
large box of the biscuits when he gained office. |
