I was in Hungry Jacks yesterday and saw the outrageous price of $2 for a Large Frozen Coke with icecream on top. It got me thinking, how can I make it cheaper?

Step 1: Buy a Large Frozen Coke ($1) and a soft serve cone HJ(50c) MCD (30c)
Step 2: Transfer ice cream from cone to cup, meanwhile drinking a small amount of Frozen Coke
Step 3: SAVE 50c [HJ]/$2.95 [MCD] on one of the most delicious items on the menu!
Available nationwide at hungry jacks and McDonalds
please ignore SA next to Maccas in the image, I thought the Frozens were only $1 in SA

    Why are we always seeing these 'bargains' that are really ordinary prices? Maybe we need a special place just for them (such as the forums)

    • Nuggets on 12/08/2014 - 22:00

      The voting system is in place to determine if people have had enough of these or not.

      If no one wants to see it, no one will see it. Simple.

      I'm guessing the hack part is failing to make the float look like the picture up on the board?

      step 1: Put icecream in mouth

      Step 2: Pour coke into mouth

      Step 2 part 2: Keep pouring

      Step 2 Part 3: theres some more left…i dont care about your brainfreeze, keep pouring

      Step 3: Look at yourself in the mirror and the mess that you made, whilst clutching your skull because of the brain freeze

      Step 4: Go buy a Cheeseburger and ask for angry onions, cheese, a second patty and ketchup for $2

    Here is a new Hack:
    1. Go to Hungry Jack's and purchase the $1 frozen Coke.
    2. Go to Maccas and purchase $0.30 soft serve.
    3. Dunk like crazy.
    4. $0.20 saving.

      Correct me if i'm wrong but I don't think there is anymore 30c cones at MiccaDees. When I did this deal the total was $1.50.

        I think soft serve cones are still 30 cents aren't they? They are still where I live in Qld.

        • 4agte on 11/08/2014 - 20:17

          Haven't been 50c in SA for many years

        • bonezAU on 11/08/2014 - 22:14

          Yup, 30c at Maccas in WA too, but they are super stingy compared to the HJ ones.

          But then again so is everything else at Maccas.

      • TerryJustTerry on 11/08/2014 - 20:46

        You're right they vary between 30 and 50 c

      Aww… this hack isn't going to work for me =(

      My closest maccas is about 2km away from my closest Hungry Jacks. My petrol use would be more then the saving i make from this hack.

      Walking isn't an option either because which ever i purchase first would melt… Help guys!

      • mafmouf on 12/08/2014 - 13:44

        With the rolling out of Maccas delivery, you could get them to deliver the soft serve at your local Hungry Jacks. Everyone is a winner.

    Technically you also receive (a little) more soft serve too!

    A standard soft serve cone is 3 swirls (113g) of soft serve.

    But a frozen coke spider only has 2.5 swirls!

    Other notes:

    An extra large is never worth the money, get two larges for the same price! (2 x 20oz vs. 1 x 32oz.)

    A large frozen coke spider has the same amount of icecream as an extra large, so two large is better than one extra large on that front, too.

      This is the reason for that PM the other day Scotty!

        Glad I could help. :)

        You also get extra frozen coke, as we under fill the cup to make room for the icecream so triple bonus!

      Perhaps an ozbargain special in the making here?

      Mention "Ozbargain" at your store and receive 3 swirls instead 2.5!

        Or they just kick you out for ruining their business.

    Thanks for the hack but I tried the (regular) Frozen Coke Float before and it was absolutely horrible, I don't know why anyone would want to adulterate their Frozen Coke or Soft Serve by mixing the two.

  • happychild100 on 11/08/2014 - 22:04

    Also, $1 frozen cokes are at all maccas as far as i know, it was advertised on their facebook with no store exclusions.

    • Food on 11/08/2014 - 22:14

    I wanna know why Maccas have McFlurry's at a whopping $4,45, whereas you can pick up a HJ Storm for $2! And I reckon the icecream's better at HJ's too.

  • pull the lever on 12/08/2014 - 10:16

    Hmm with all the hacking going on you might as well include Woolworths or Coles.

    1. Wait till a 1.25L bottle of Coke (or any size for that matter) is on sale.
    2. Buy above mentioned Coke
    3. Buy soft serve ice cream
    4. Request for an empty cup (or ask for free tap water, then empty out the contents (preferably into a nearby shopping centre pot plant or garden bed)
    5. Enjoy cheap spider with plenty of coke to spare!

    Bonus points to those who grab the coke from the shelf, shove it behind the ice cream in the freezer section, then come back to it 20 minutes later. Volia - ice cold Coke without paying for the overpriced bottles already in the fridge.

      If you put it in the freezer for ~3.5hrs, you can make instant frozen coke with it! (Google)
