Melbourne s proud history with iced treats dates back to the late 1800s, when the Melbourne Ice Manufacturers company in South Melbourne launched Sennitt s Ice Creams. It was no small matter at the time to possess the technology to create, rather than simply import (at huge expense), huge chunks of natural ice for cooling, let alone freezing on a mass scale.
For decades, the logo of a polar bear licking a cone graced cinemas and was one of the city s most iconic illuminated signs, flickering over the South Melbourne factory until Unilever took over and retired the brand in the 1960s.
