This ice cream truck, and its prices, are rewinding to the 80s.
Some may say a sausage sizzle or a cork hat are the most Australian things. But I disagree. To me, quintessential Australia is summed up in one song: Greensleeves. Why? Because this is the sound of hope, the sound of tasty treats, the sound of the Aussie ice cream truck.
The only downside of the ice cream truck is the ever-growing prices that seem somewhat exorbitant for that Bubble O’Bill you only ordered for the bubblegum nose. Luckily, Aldi is giving Australia’s East Coast a little treat for making it through a ridiculously hot summer.
Aldi’s Ice Cream Truck will be dishing out classic ice creams from just 36 cents. In fact, nothing on the menu is over $1, taking customers all the way back to the 80s.
“The super delicious and incredibly affordable treats that are up for grabs showcase a great variety of our most iconic ice creams direct from the freezer aisle to the people of Sydney, Melbourne and the Sunshine Coast," says Andrew King, Aldi Australia Buying Director.
And as extra good news, 100 per cent of all sales will be donated to Aldi’s national charity partner, Camp Quality to support kids facing cancer and their families.
Where to grab your ice cream
The truck itself is an East Coast treat, but that doesn’t mean everyone else will miss out entirely.
“While our truck can’t roll up to every town across the country, shoppers can get their own frozen treat fixes at their local Aldi stores for exceptionally low prices," says King.
