A plate of Iced VoVo biscuits

An Iced VoVo is a wheat flour biscuit topped with 2 strips of pink fondant flanking a strip of raspberry jam and sprinkled with coconut.[1] It is a product of the Australian-based biscuit company Arnott's (now American-owned). Previously known as Iced Vo-Vo biscuits, the brand was first registered in 1906.[1]

On 24 November 2007, Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd made a light-hearted mention of Iced VoVos in his election victory speech, jokingly urging his team to have a strong cup of tea with an Iced VoVo before getting to work.[2] This reportedly led to skyrocketing Iced VoVo sales, prompting Arnott's to send a shipping pallet of the biscuits to the Prime Minister's office in Canberra's Parliament House.[3]

A similar product (called Mikado) has been sold in Ireland by Jacob's since 1888. It has pink marshmallow instead of pink fondant.[4] But during the late 1980s and early 1990s there was a square shaped biscuit called Camelot.
