A Fab is a popular ice lolly on a stick, introduced by J. Lyons & Co. Ltd. Launched nationally in May 1967.[citation needed] 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In the modern era their popularity has dropped and been replaced by lollies such as the Twister and various Ice Snacks based around Cartoon characters, however Nestlé still continue production of the iced snack into the 21st century, both as a single item and as part of a multipack.

The description on the packaging reads "Real Strawberry and vanilla flavour ice lolly with chocolate flavour coating (5%) and sugar strands (5%)".[citation needed]

They also make an Orange variety (view a review).

It is suitable for vegetarians.[citation needed]
