Origins and etymology [ edit ]

The term hokey pokey has 🤶 been used in reference to honeycomb toffee in New Zealand since the late 19th century. The origin of this term, 🤶 in reference to honeycomb specifically, is not known with certainty, and it is not until the mid-20th century that hokey 🤶 pokey ice cream was created.[citation needed]

Coincidentally, "hokey pokey" was a slang term for ice cream in general in the 19th 🤶 and early 20th centuries in several areas — including New York City[9] and parts of Great Britain — specifically for 🤶 the ice cream sold by street vendors or "hokey pokey men". The vendors, said to be mostly of Italian descent, 🤶 supposedly used a sales pitch or song involving the phrase "hokey pokey", for which several origins have been suggested. One 🤶 such song in use in 1930s Liverpool was "Hokey pokey penny a lump, that's the stuff to make ye jump".[10]
