Unusual flavours: Gelatissimo launches new Aussie-as Weet-Bix ice cream
Gelatissimo has announced it will deliver free ice cream to deserving Aussies in a bid to lift spirits.
“Whether it’s a friend who’s having a hard time or a health professional, childcare worker or anyone working on the frontline during the coronavirus pandemic, Gelatissimo wants to send them out a tub of the new Choc Cross Bun gelato to sweeten their day,” the company announced on Friday.
Who gets the free ice cream?
Australians have been told to nominate someone who “deserves a little bit of sweetness” by heading online between now and Easter Monday (13 April) and explaining why they deserve the treat.
And, there’s no limit on it.
“The team at Gelatissimo will share the love by delivering as many tubs of their limited edition Choc Cross Bun gelato as they can to all the deserving and inspirational nominees across Australia,” the company said.
The company will today deliver ice cream to workers at the Prince of Wales Hospital.
