The term "ripple" in ice cream manufacture and consumption may have originated in the United States where from the 1930s, it was used to denote any type of ice cream ribboned through with coloured and flavoured syrup.[3][4] Around this time, machinery had been developed which would allow ice cream to incorporate fruit paste separately in a marbled effect.[5] Raspberry ripple has been a popular variant ever since.[6][7]

Raspberry ripple, as an ice cream flavour, is mentioned by UB40 in their song "V's Version" in the 1985 album Baggariddim. Raspberry ripple is Cockney Rhyming slang for nipple, and cripple.[8][9] The second meaning was used in the 1986 Television film Raspberry Ripple[10] and the 2015 film Legend.
