The product was invented in 1930 by Harry Melbourne, an 18-year-old MacRobertson's employee.[1] In 1967, MacRobertson's was sold to Cadbury, which incorporated Freddo Frogs into its own product range.[2] The chocolate was originally sold only in Australia, but has been introduced into several other markets.
