      I got there ten minutes after the announcement and this is what greeted me http://i.imgur.com/5x0lzmQ.jpg

        Lady in the cream coat looked like she just found out they ran out of ice cream.

          lol @ tubby on the far right. think he needs to cut back on ice-cream.

        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.

        sell sell sell!

      I arrive there 10 mins after location announced. Waited for 20+ mins. Got nth. But some people go away with 6+. What a poor organized event

      • wow… so glad i didn't bother

  • YESSSSSS FINALLLYYYY SOME LOVE TO PERTH (after all the other states anw).
    Will be prepared this time :3

  • 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.

  • Time for me to pull out the elastic-waist pants again :(

    • +2

      a moment on the lips forever on the hips :P

      • +3

        nothing tastes as good as thin feels

        except New York Super Fudge Chunk

      • forever on the hips

        Not after 30–120 min of hard and fast exercise.

  • +1

    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.

    • A pint is around 13 bucks at woolies.

  • +3

    Not worth the time wasted in the queue.

    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.

    • +1

      Loved clusterfluff! Depends on the person i guess…

      • +1

        clusterfluff is my favourite too.

    • How does this post garner 6 downvotes? Dannyhc is allowed to dislike this stuff (as crazy as I agree he is).

      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.

    Elizabeth St / Bourke St for Melbourne - on now. At work, doesn't help me! :(

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

    Sydney Location: Corner of Market St & Castlereagh St in the CBD

    • +2

      Apparently people are taking 8 tubs each……….

      • Damn so near me but can't go because of this stupid workshop

      • +1

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

      • +1

        Guess the parking in Sydney city is too expensive to stay longer

  • Why no Chunky Monkey anymore?!?! That's my fav T_T

    • +1

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

  • Is it worth trying @ Lunch time??

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

  • 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!

  • 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.

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

      • 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.

        • 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.

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

      • +2

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

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

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

    • +1

      looks can be deceiving, i only waited 2 mins

    • Waited maybe half an hour… :/ got 2

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

  • what time does it finihs?

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

  • Any sign of the Perth truck yet?

  • Perth: 111 St George's Tce

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

      • 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

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

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

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

        • @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.

    • +1

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

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

    • They've moved on

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

        • Yup. Red streets van.

  • +2

    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!

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

      • Thanks for the update re Sydney cancellation for tomorrow.

    • 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 :(
