During childhood, favorites were 5, 9, and 12.

Over the decades, the names have changed.
#7 was a Bomb-pop, when I was a kid.
I don't remember what #3 was, but it wasn't a "screwball".
Never had a tweety or a choco-taco.

Choco-taco is just a waffle cone in the shape of a taco with chocolate and icecream & chopped nuts on top. They are good if you like waffle cones. They still have those bomb pops here. But have no clue what a screwball is or a tweetie.
@mistymoon77 Yeah, we didn't have choco-tacos.
I wish I could remember the name, but the "screwball" was a berry-flavored ice cream, with a gumball at the bottom of the paper cone.
No idea about the tweety.
I recall all of these from my youth, but especially and with fondness the Nestlês King Cone no.12, because in the UK the only place you could buy them was in Odeon Cinemas, so they are always associated with good times.
There was a version called a Cornetto made by Walls you could and still can buy in shops, but King Cones were better

I think Canada had Cornettos too... if memory serves. We do get some stuff from the UK. 
Like Flake bars & Maltesers (widely avail now). Yumm!
Good times.
