Golly Bar Originally launched in 1957 by HB Ice Cream (HB), the Golly Bar is an ice cream formerly sold exclusively in The Republic of Ireland. It was a single rectangular block of vanilla ice cream on a wooden stick. The packaging of Golly Bars depicted an image of a Golliwog, a 19th-century caricature of a blackface minstrel. The Golliwog image was removed from the ice creams packaging in 1992. However, continued concern over any references to the image saw a name change to the Giant Bar. Giant Bars remain available for purchase across The Republic of Ireland though reorganisation of the HB brand by corporate parent Unilever saw the production and ownership of the Giant Bar Brand move to UK company Dale Farm.

Golliwog The golliwog, golliwogg or golly is a black fictional character created by Florence Kate Upton that appears in children's books in the late 19th century and usually depicted as a type of rag doll. It was reproduced, both by commercial and hobby toy-makers as a children's toy called the "golliwog", and had great popularity in the UK and Australia into the 1970s. The doll is characterised by black skin, eyes rimmed in white, clown lips and frizzy hair. Though home-made golliwogs were sometimes female, the golliwog was generally male. For this reason, in the period following World War II, the golliwog was seen, along with the teddy bear, as a suitable soft toy for a young boy.
