        Oh, you missed out on the part where police came in and shut it down because a bunch of half baked people were on the main road.
        Then there was a cultist mob chasing the truck all the way to Victoria Square, and then swarming the truck again.

        Pretty big clusterfluff.

  • dyziplen on 04/09/2015 - 19:57

    Got a free pint in Melbourne back in July.

    Lucky it was a sunny Winters day. Otherwise having the pint for lunch wouldn't have worked out so well.

    Never tasted B & Js and great offer but can't bear to stand in a possibly long queue, maybe I should just pick up a small tub from a local stockist.

    • mintygirl on 05/09/2015 - 19:22

      A pint is around 13 bucks at woolies.

    I waited and ended up with 2 pints of Clusterfluff, at the last Melbourne give away. Not even a pregnant employee with usual food cravings could stomach the flavour. No wonder they were giving it away, hands down the most disgusting ice cream I've ever attempted to have eaten.

      I picked up a slab of 8 Chunky Monkey because I was wearing a T-Shirt that said "In case of emergency feed me Corn Syrup", I hope to get wider than the Costco Trolley.

      until what time usually they will offer this free ice cream? wondering if the queue would be as long as GYG Burrito?

        I heard the same (but it was right at the start) they reverted back to two tubs.

      Still available in scoop shops (just not tubs anymore).

  • billyb67 on 07/09/2015 - 12:05

    I'm not gonna bother, probably be an hour queue by the time I get there

  • dealkak on 07/09/2015 - 12:24

    Melbourne….chk this out on their FB page

    https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153023275406254&se…

    looks like the queue ends in Sydney…not going to bother on this cold 12 degree day!

  • CopOnTheRun on 07/09/2015 - 12:47

    Queue wasn't bad at all in Sydney. Got there around 12.15ish and was in the queue for less than 5 mins.

    Lady giving them out said there was a limit of 2 per person.

    • dlovep on 07/09/2015 - 13:00

      Really ? I saw an OL with 4 tubes in her hand.

      • CopOnTheRun on 07/09/2015 - 13:04

        Yeah, overheard it as a dude in front asked for more.

        Strangely enough, a colleague just went and he came back saying that the limit was now 1 per person.

        • pax on 07/09/2015 - 13:18

          Yes, 1 per person now, but you can join the end of the queue again to get more.

          I was in the queue for less than 5 mins. The colleagues appreciated the ice cream as our office is warm, so it cooled us down.

          I'll be back tomorrow, or maybe this arvo, and bring a chiller bag into the office to take some home to share.

    • fomal on 07/09/2015 - 13:30

      Apparently my two of my colleagues get 8 each so they went to the office with 16 tubs…

      • pax on 07/09/2015 - 13:32

        Now that's just cheeky… no wonder they dropped it to one per person.

  • rollypollym on 07/09/2015 - 13:25

    Queue stretched halfway up Bourke Street Mall! Not worth it. Anyone know how long they will be there for?

    • wanted7 on 07/09/2015 - 13:35

      I got 2 at 10am, they said 3 hours, but i guess their still going….

      looks can be deceiving, i only waited 2 mins

    • bluedufflecoat on 07/09/2015 - 13:42

      Waited maybe half an hour… :/ got 2

  • wanted7 on 07/09/2015 - 13:36

    I saw 3 people get a tray, i was given 2 at 10am in Melbourne.

  • johnthepg on 07/09/2015 - 13:48

    what time does it finihs?

  • babiguling on 07/09/2015 - 13:52

    Melbourne queue is not that long. only around 7-12 mins and only chunky monkey flav left. they said until 3pm/while stock lasts

  • Yapapi on 07/09/2015 - 14:00

    Any sign of the Perth truck yet?

      Anyone knows how long they will be there for? Or how long is the queue?

      • ringo9 on 07/09/2015 - 14:43

        Queue is long.. To about those suit shops in front of bhp right now but it's moving pretty quick

        Edit:

        They're gone now

        • mjjeje on 07/09/2015 - 15:05

          Thanks for the update. Didn't manage to get there as I was quite far from the city, but thanks for the info :)

        • Tiggrrrrr on 07/09/2015 - 15:06

          Nope. Still there as of 2 mins ago. I waved as I ate my cholesterol burger.

        • Tiggrrrrr on 07/09/2015 - 15:07

          Looked like mainly Chunky Monkey flavour. Not worth it for one tub.

        • ilikeradiohead on 07/09/2015 - 15:29

          @Tiggrrrrr: I think they left and came back. I went down about 30 mins ago and they'd just left.

    Sydney update (almost finished for today):

    We regret to inform you that we are almost out of Chunky Monkey pints in Sydney today. For those who won't or can't make it today, stay tuned tomorrow or Wednesday as we will be continuing to support each other through this difficult time.

    • onebee on 07/09/2015 - 15:20

      I can confirm that ice cream already gone at Sydney for today.

  • Tiggrrrrr on 07/09/2015 - 15:04

    Hmm… Massive queue for one tub?
    I shook and won a free Bacon Deluxe at HJs instead.

    • ringo9 on 07/09/2015 - 15:08

      They've moved on

      • Tiggrrrrr on 07/09/2015 - 15:11

        Quick question, I only looked quickly as I passed, but were they in a Streets Icecream truck this time?

        • ringo9 on 07/09/2015 - 15:18

          Yup. Red streets van.

  • DaiShan on 07/09/2015 - 17:10

    2 things.
    1) The queue is quick - I went at the worst time, 1.30pm, and the queue was about 7 minutes long. They're efficient.
    2) At the beginning of they day, when they started around 11am, they were giving out slabs. At the begininning of lunch time, it was singles. Then two per person towards the end of lunch. So pick the right time for max free ice cream!

    • roughana on 07/09/2015 - 22:21

      Giving out slabs? bummer. They don't have enough for Tuesday in Sydney so have cancelled to restock for Wednesday.

      • hamza23 on 07/09/2015 - 22:24

        Thanks for the update re Sydney cancellation for tomorrow.

    • garmibear on 08/09/2015 - 10:35

      they sort of alternated between singles and doubles, my friend messaged me about the slabs but then noticed it reverted to singles when she was in line. I had an early lunch (about 11.45) and grabbed a double. Shame it had to be cancelled on Tuesday though :(
