Origins and etymology [ edit ]
The term hokey pokey has 📉 been used in reference to honeycomb toffee in New Zealand since the late 19th century.

The vendors, said to be mostly of Italian descent, 📉 supposedly used a sales pitch or song involving the phrase "hokey pokey", for which several origins have been suggested.
