Usually ~$12

Found out this afternoon that I'm getting shipped off to rural Victoria against my will for all of next year so I went to my local Coles (Box Hill VIC) to get some ice cream. Surprised to see this at $3.12. Called up the girlfriend, who lives in Sydney, who confirmed that she had seen it at this price too. It's not short dated.

Still getting sent to the country but the ice cream is ok.

Notes:

  • Even if not marked at $3.12 at your local store it should scan at this price.
  • Please send your thanks to my girlfriend, if you run into her.

    Thanks tony, will go check it out later.

    Haven't tried this flavour before…how sweet is sweet?

      It's not too sweet. I would say about the sweetness of your average vanilla ice cream, maybe a tiny bit less (and without the vanilla).

      Please bear in mind I am not a professional ice cream sweetness rater so I cannot give formal or definitive ice cream sweetness rating advice.

      we tasted 3 different brands of cookies and cream ice-cream last night: Sara Lee , B&Js and Connoisseur. B&Js came second. It has nice , chunky, almost crunchy pieces of oreo-like cookies.However the actual ice-cream was meh. Connoiseur was by far everyone's favourite.

        Was your study blinded? Did it account for confounders? Were your results statistically significant?What kind of analyses of variance were performed?

        • [Deactivated] on 11/09/2015 - 20:17

          Study was conducted by 2 young statisticians.
          Sample size n=4
          Modal age of statisticians = 6.5years old

          The term "blinded" was applied literally during the experiment.

          That should pretty much answer all your questions:)

          Oh god! Ethical no, valid yes. Those poor children. All in the name of science.

        • KnifeEnthusiastBoi on 14/09/2015 - 03:13

          @Jar Jar Binks: n=4 is not a statistically significant sample size. No way it would pass Kolmogorov-Smirnov or any assumptions of normality

          Please include in your discussion limitations of small sample size

        I find this information incredibly intriguing. Apart from me being completely and utterly biased (I vote B&J followed by Sara Lee, then Connoisseur - based on the ice cream texture and consistency and creaminess alone not on flavours/chunks/pieces/bits).

        But I would genuinely like to ask without showing my bias, what those kids think of each type they had in a blind test. Just to compare my own preferences to theirs. Actually, I'd be interested in being the guinea pig in a blind test myself…. hmmmmmmmmm

        edit - oh wait, by "those kids" I had assumed you'd had the party for all the kids already (was careful not to say the B&J party there, in case it started an uproar around here… lawlz).

          Except they seem to have gotten rid of their white chocolate and raspberry, which is the only one i ever bought and am not enticed by any of their other current offerings.

  • [Deactivated] on 11/09/2015 - 19:34

    Are you sure it's nation-wide? "Quick sale" to me would imply clearance stock.

    • Save Medicare on 11/09/2015 - 19:38
      +8

      It's this price at 2 stores in separate states.

      While a (n=2) study is not ideal, it would imply that the promotion is being run in at least 2 states, although that doesn't in itself preclude the possibility of it being a clearance.

      It might just be those two stores, but I think in all likelihood it will be quite a few more.

    • 1aimeelou1 on 12/09/2015 - 10:54

      I think foodland is the only supermarket to stock it in sa. I went on a wild B&J goose chase before it was common in SA as I'd been told coles stocked it. Couldn't find it at a handful of them…then it started popping up at foodland

        No joke, the line at sydney uni was massive. They tried to get rid of the ice cream as soon as possible by changing from giving each person 1 to 8 each. Apart from those living on campus, I don't know how the rest got them home.. I presume they just gave it to their friends

    This almost makes this over priced ice cream seem cheap. But it's still more exxy than most brands, and it doesn't taste much better.

    • [Deactivated] on 12/09/2015 - 02:25

      It really does taste much better :)

      The base ice cream is fantastic and it just goes to show how different peoples tastes are with some ranking Sara Lee on par or better. Can understand people not liking B&Js for the bits and odd combinations (thankfully I love that) - but the ice cream? What's wrong with it exactly? Maybe some people are just used to the emulsified, full of air stuff with lower milk fat.

      Overpriced? No question there! Its something I'll buy as a treat and eat slowly.
