    do they have beer flavour?

  • Bappy on 09/06/2015 - 16:11

    Seems like three flavours based on the ad, choc brownie, cookie dough & strawberry cheesecake.

    You could always add beer as an extra topping :)

    UK pint or US pint?

    UK is 568mL, US is 473mL.

    • Domingo on 09/06/2015 - 16:36

      Ben & Jerry's is from the US. It's a US pint.

        Any amount of free icecream is great, however, Australia uses the UK sizes and therefore we should be getting an extra 97mL if they want to advertise it as a pint (570mL) :)

          Ordinarily I'd agree with you but the price is right so I can't ;)

        • marcozmitch on 15/06/2015 - 15:54

          As long as they list the volume in ml, they comply, also it is food not beer. ;-)

      It's bad being addicted to it at $11 a tub. When i was in USA it was still $6 USD so it's cheaper but not dramatically. One thing I miss was In America I could get chocolate fudge brownie which is a low(er) fat frozen yogurt version. I haven't been able to find the frozen yogurt range here.

      • John Stone on 09/06/2015 - 20:27

        When we were over in the US, they were $2.50 USD on special. Needless to say we bought a whole bunch of tubs and stashed them in the freezer at the apartment. We never got to finish them all off, but we definitely gave most of the range a try.
        Couldnt believe how cheap they were.

        • Slo20 on 10/06/2015 - 07:12

          Wow - I would have stocked up at that price to. Cheapest I found was $5 on special.

  • ATangk on 09/06/2015 - 18:04

    Is there anything we need to do? Or can we just show up and ask about it? I cant find any 'instructions' as such…

    • Slo20 on 10/06/2015 - 07:15

      There will be set locations which haven't been announced yet. I recall a few years back they had them at king George square in brisbane and it was just a massive line up, but the line moved fast…. Although that was still around 30 minutes.

    • [Deactivated] on 10/06/2015 - 08:18

      They had one in Chatswood (NSW) in April and the line was soooooo long. Literally down the block. I think the line will be sufficiently long you won't need to state why you are there.

        Do you need a new job? Do you want to earn half a pint of ice cream? Well then today's your lucky day, all you need to do is bring me a pint of ice cream and I will give you half in return :-)

      I'm guessing they'll be handing out actual tubs of their ice cream… so unless you want to eat a pint on the spot (in which case, bring a spoon? unless they plan to provide spoons) - bring a cooler bag and ice packs? and get home or back to work fast to throw it in your freezer lol.

  • Javin on 10/06/2015 - 07:59

      When I got some 3 years ago it was at Railway Sq on the western side of Central Station - https://www.google.com.au/maps/place/Central+Railway+Station…

      I suppose there aren't that many popular locations where are queue of 100s of people would be permitted.

    • jskf01 on 10/06/2015 - 14:44

      I walked more than that for it, then I walked all the way to the quay so I could eat the best icecream looking at the best view, only managed to eat about 1/5 before I gave up and went home to freeze it, I did see people who ate the whole pint though hehe.

        • tatnal on 15/06/2015 - 12:56

          Hope they're not going to just give 1 tub per person. I want a bag full for waiting.

        • shinichiduy on 15/06/2015 - 13:03

          @tatnal: they gave out 2 per person in Syd. Given that they are late, we should expect at least 2.

        • tatnal on 15/06/2015 - 14:37

          Maybe 1 of each flavour - I remember last time there were a few different flavours. Might be a mad rush.
