HEY, STREETS – THE TIME FOR THE UNIRN GAYTIME ICE CREAM OF LGBTIQA+ ALLYSHIP IS NOW
* unicorn gaytime *
Streets created perfectn 1959 wh the peak Asie ice cream, the Gaytime: an ecstasy ducg blend of toffee and vanilla ice cream, vered lic, yet subtle, cholate atg, and then smothered the inic honeyb cmb biscus, all on livered on a nvenient ltle paddle pop stick. As such, the Gaytime fortably trounc Magnums, Connoissr’s, Bubble-O-Bill’s, and Paddle Pop’s. It stomps on the psdo-ele petn that is the mango and cream blend Weis bar, an ice cream that fs the bill on a hot day, but nnot, will not, and should not, ever feel so egotistil that n overwhelm the brilliance of the Gaytime.
The genue joy and fort that om eatg a Gaytime is like nothg else.
You might read this thkg I’m beg far too effive wh my praise of the extremely ethereal experience of eatg a Gaytime, but the realy is, every time I be to one, the sound of the world around me is sucked away, my sight go a ltle blurry. All my sens bee ncentrated on the taste and texture of the Gaytime. But jt like that fay iendly rtoon, the Gaytime has a ltle rnch clud .
FET GOLN GAYTIME SANGAS, GAYTIME UNIRN IS NOW A THG
Streets Ice Cream has gifted Atralia wh an early Christmas prent - three new Goln Gaytime Unirn, Pa Colada and Choc Mt McMt Face, which are stor natnwi. * unicorn gaytime *
Where Vanellope is voiced by edian Sarah Silverman, the Gaytime is driven by the keen awarens of s LGBTIQA+ foc. The ice creams slogan the eighti has stuck for s: ’s hard to have a Gaytime on your own; wh the take home packs of Gaytime’s havg the equally risqué slogan of ‘4 lic chanc to have a gay time’. Note the liberate space between gay and time, and the double meang of the word ‘gay’.
When Brian, a gay man, lnched an onle petn to have the Gaytime name removed om the ice cream and sent to the history books of Wikipedia, Streets ially rpond by sayg:. The first Streets Gaytime was released Atralia durg 1959 when the word ‘gay’ had not yet been applied to genr orig of the Gaytime name was and remas related to havg a joyo or happy time and was meant to pture the pleasure that wh enjoyg an ice Gaytime name is not and never has tend to e offence and your petn is the first that we have been ma aware of.
GOLN GAYTIME LNCH THREE NEW FLAVOURS CLUDG UNIRN
There’s a real vibe of both-sis-g the suatn here, wh Streets g across to the public as beg both an ally of the queer muny, while also suggtg that, hey, ’s jt a major cince that the word gay means two thgs now.
Streets has ntually ed the homosexual tonatn of Gaytime for s own advertisg advantage wh s slogans and advertisg, such as when they referred to the Osr wng gay drama, Brokeback Mounta, this advertisement:. The LGBTIQA+ muny is clearly behd the ice cream, as the onle rponse to the petn shows, wh some folks tweetg that beg agast the name Gaytime is homophobic self. But when the queer muny need the Gaytime the most – durg the plebisce on marriage equaly – Streets dropped the ball, stead failg to release a much-requted rabow versn, and optg for a generic ‘unirn’ one stead, alongsi some other qutnable flavours.

(It’s notable that a member of the public, albe someone who has fluenced Streets wh their Gaytime products before, put out a prototype support of marriage equaly, stead of the pany self. ’ Streets, and Unilever, were notably absent om the onle petn supportg marriage equaly Atralia, jt as they were notably absent om any kd of vol actn or support of the gay muny durg the AIDS crisis. It’s funny, I started wrg this piece wh the tentn of cricisg Streets for their absolutely els flavour profil that they’ve been puttg out the world: Vlet Cmble (no Vlet Cmble flavour, potls), Pa Colada (nice and rehg, gone too soon), Birthday Cake (doughy all the wrong ways), Cnchy Nut (neher cnchy, nor nutty, yet still appealg), Froot Loops (the bt of the novelty flavours, lime-tged and lic, tast nothg like Froot Loops), Krispy Kreme (the worst of the novelty flavours, impossible to enjoy, potls), Salty (send tier greatns here, a smart e of salt wh sweet, gone too soon), Co Pops (potls, utterly potls, yet better than the Gaytime Co Pops – see below), Choc Mt McMt Face (fe, and very fettable), and, of urse, Unirn (’s like a fluoro lour haired troll vomed breakfast).
And then, I wanted to also have a wkg whge about their Gaytime adjacent products, like the tolerable Goln Gayto (the clost variant to the OG Gaytime, jt lacks the asmic quali of the stick versn), the swg-and-a-miss Goln Gaytime Sanga (who thought that pyg Maxibon’s was a good ia needs a drs down, jt brg back the OG Giant Sandwich you wards), the better--ncept tub of Gaytime ice cream (tast jt like toffee ice cream, jt whout the val honeyb biscu cmbs, even though you n add your own), Gaytime Co Pops (very eful if preppg for a lonospy), Goln Gaytime Eggsellence (a giant Gaytime-que Easter egg that is all show and no payoff), the holy grail Gaytime cmbs (like Milo, bt eaten wh a spoon, also a limed edn, utterly els, unirn flavour), and the ultimate, ft, bt translatn of the Gaytime experience to a different format, the Goln Gaytime poprn, a nfectnary light that is pletely void of any of the guilt, shame, or sorrow that wh eatg a bag of sugary goodns, and jt leav you feelg that post-al glow we all seem to crave so much. Over the past few weeks, I kept thkg about what mak a Gaytime a Gaytime. I really wanted to dig to the personaly of a Gaytime, to fd out why a Gaytime exists, why do I love a Gaytime so much?
