7. Kiwis love their Tip Top Ice cream

Kiwis claim Tip Top ice cream is the best in the southern hemisphere, and hokey pokey (it's a flavour) is far and away the biggest seller (five million litres annually). They're also partial to chocolate-coated marshmallow fish and pineapple lumps. You can usually buy these treats at the local dairy (milkbar).
