Trove trivia
A mouse. Did you also know that Crunchie and Cherry Ripe were released before the Freddo? The Freddo Frog was introduced in 1930 by MacRobertson’s Steam Confectionery Works, a company that was eventually sold to Cadbury in the late 1960’s. But every frog has its day, and it was decided that it would have broader appeal over a mouse. ![]() One topic of great debate is who came up with the idea for the popular product: Leslie Atinkson (Inventor of the Cherry Ripe) or Harry Ernest Melbourne (18-year-old staff member at MacRobertson’s). Find out more about the origins with the Cadbury webpage through the web archive. Can you figure out the answer? |
