Why is hokey pokey ice-cream part of kiwiana?

Hokey Pokey ice cream is one of the top favourite Ice cream flavours for New Zealanders. According to polls, Vanilla comes first place, Chocolate and Strawberry follow in third and fourth place.The ice cream itself consists of small pieces of toffee added to vanilla-flavoured ice cream.It was made famous by the world famous (in New Zealand) Tip Top Ice cream company in the 1940s. The idea of adding toffee wasn't new, but the distinctive taste was unique, and since then it's become a key part of Kiwiana (icons of New zealand culture).
