In early 2021, an online petition to change the product's name to something "less offensive" gained traction on social media. However, it was met with backlash by the general public, including counterpetitions,[18] and the original petition to rename was withdrawn. Streets has stated that they won't change the product's name.[19] In the same year, the name of the product was criticised by a Muslim association in Malaysia.[20]

Do these illiterate cunts realise that "gay" is an old English word for happy? Have they considered picking up a book? I guess if they did, they wouldn't be homophobic.

Even if there wasn't the history, the people calling it offensive are telling on themselves. For gay people, gaytime is just time. If you don't want gaytime to exist the only thing I can conclude is you don't want gay people to exist.

Corporate social media is a blight upon functional society

I mean, you could say what's the big deal about the n word? Its just the Latin word for black.

Retard was the nice name to call disabled people, too. Times change.

[–] Embargo@lemmy.zip 36 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Look, man. I'm not really into sweets but golden gaytimes are genuinely amazing!

[–] swemg@sh.itjust.works 23 points 3 weeks ago

I mean, looks good. Might try some Gaytime on day with some friends

Can’t wait for them to discover the German chocolate version of this

[–] zen@lemmy.zip 10 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

What's the German chocolate version of this? 😳

Gaytime and this! Balls to the wall trolling all demographics?

[–] pupbiru@aussie.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

it does look good, but pretty different i think

the chunks on a gaytime are crushed biscuit chunks, while these look like nuts?

and the flavours look pretty different

from wikipedia:

It is a toffee and vanilla ice cream dipped in compound chocolate, and wrapped in vanilla biscuit-like "crumbs" on a wooden paddlepop-stick.

You can get Goldene Schwulenzeit at Rewe.

[–] nimpnin@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Also reminds me of this

[–] Aganim@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Ah, the good old Negerküsse (German) or Negerzoenen (Dutch), translated: Negro Kisses. In the Netherlands they've been renamed to Kisses 2 decades ago, for obvious reasons.

Edit: ffs, I hate not being able to use the N-word for a factual statement.

[–] ieatpwns@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Ayo… can I have one?

[–] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 4 points 3 weeks ago

Sure.

[–] 58008@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You could tell me anything about Australia and I'd have little choice but to reflexively believe it. Oh they have a brand of children's sandals called Flippy Floppy Cunts? Sure, whatever. There's a shark with gorilla arms holding knives fashioned from goat bones and using them to mug surfers? Of course that's a thing, no further investigation needed.

Australia is the world's marsupial pouch filled with equal parts mischief and nightmarish animal terrors.

[–] nonentity@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

In Australia, kids wear thongs to the beach.

In the US, kids root for sport.

Swap the country of either statement, and it gets super creepy.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

i was in utah and there was a leader of one of their mormon congregations reminiscing about how nice it was to do at-home church and not have to come in. he talked about how nice it was lounging around with his kids with their thongs on. something ^something^ ~something~ ON OUR FEET THONGS ON OUR FEET.

[–] ordnance_qf_17_pounder@reddthat.com 11 points 3 weeks ago

Still not as good as Dickheads matches.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 9 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Wait it's just a Magnum? Which when you think about it is also a stupid name so I guess Australia can do whatever.

[–] Kacarott@aussie.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago

Better than magnum IMO

[–] fleebleneeble@reddthat.com 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Condom icecream

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

danny devito drops his ice cream cone with way too much ice cream given the teensy cone. "i just need a monster cone for my magnum ice cream"

[–] GiovanniBruzzolini@aussie.zone 7 points 2 weeks ago

Worked at a servo in the middle of bumfuck nowhere as a teenager.
The ice cream freezer was behind the counter so customers had to ask for what they wanted.

Gaytimes were popular as all fuck but people were so hesitant to say the word.

When Magnums came along, they were twice the price of all other ice creams but people loved them because they were simply that much better than everything else.

[–] enbiousenvy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

holy shit it looks good https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Gaytime

Also TIL that the heart logo ice cream is australian? in my country they branded themself as Walls https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streets_%28ice_cream%29

[–] zen@lemmy.zip 12 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Walls was started in 1922. Streets was bought by Walls in 1960. That's why they have the same logo. They're both owned by Unilever now.

[–] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

As is tradition.

Fun fact, half the Australian beverages market is owned by one, now foreign, company - Asahi.

Our regulators have really been snoozing on their anti-monopoly duties in so many industries.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

They also own Goodhumor in the US. Which makes strawberry shortcake and chocolate versions of this icecream stick starting in the 1920s. They were originally famous for their ice cream trucks and uniforms.

[–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 4 points 3 weeks ago

That's the "heartbrand" which all unilever ice cream all over the world uses, under different names (usually bought up local ice cream brand names)

[–] zen@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Sweet caramel ice cream with bits of soft biscuit, lovely.

I love a Golden Gaytime in my mouth, and have ever since I was a kid.

[–] Fleur_@aussie.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago

The KFC golden gaytime crusher haunts my memories like a deceased spouse
