Squround container of tiger tail ice cream

Tiger tail ice cream, also called tiger tiger or tiger flavour, is a Canadian orange-flavoured ice cream with black liquorice swirl. ^{[1] [2]} It is named for its resemblance to orange and black tiger stripes. Tiger tail is most popular in Canada, particularly in southern Ontario, and not often found elsewhere in the world. ^{[1] [2]} It is a distinctly flavoured ice cream. ^[3] This flavour of ice cream is offered by such companies as Chapman's, ^[4] Kawartha, and Nestlé. ^[5] Tiger tail is considered a retro ice cream flavour, owing to its popularity from the 1950s to 1970s, and it has seen a nostalgia-related resurgence since the 2010s. ^{[6] [5]}
