Raspberry Ripple is a popular flavour of ice cream in Great Britain and elsewhere. It consists of raspberry syrup injected into vanilla ice cream. The term is thought to have originated in the United States where it was used to denote any type of ice cream ribboned through with coloured and flavoured syrup.[1] Raspberry ripple has been a popular variant ever since.[2][3]
Raspberry ripple (Cripple) is also used as a rhyming slang term for a physically handicapped person.[4]
