Golden Gaytime

Golden Gaytime (Cookie Crumble in New Zealand[1]) is a popular ice cream snack that is made and distributed by the Streets confectionery company in Australia, and first released in 1959.[2] It is a toffee and vanilla ice cream dipped in compound chocolate, and wrapped in honeycomb biscuits on a wooden paddlepop-stick. Its name has survived intact regardless, or because, of the possible homosexual connotations in modern decades.[3]

Variations

On 4 August 2015, Streets announced the release of Golden Gaytime ice-cream tub format in addition to its usual popsicle stick format.[4] On 7 September 2016, Streets announced the release of Golden Gaytime cross Cornetto cone – named Golden Gaynetto – in addition to other formats.[5] In 2017, Streets released a Golden Gaytime ice-cream sandwich named the Golden Gaytime Sanga ("Sanga" being Australian slang for sandwich).[6]

In 2017, the flavours Gaytime Unicorn, Pina Colada and Choc Mint McMint Face were introduced.[7]

Advertising

The company appears to embrace the camp name by retaining the tagline from the 1980s, "It's hard to have a Gaytime on your own". The in-home boxes feature the words "4 delicious chances to have a gay time".[8] In 2009, Streets started re-airing a television commercial from the 1980s.[9]

Cultural impact

The double meaning of the name is highlighted in The Bedroom Philosopher song, "Golden Gaytime".

gollark: ```rust#[macro_use] extern crate serenity;use serenity::client::{Client, EventHandler};use serenity::framework::standard::StandardFramework;use std::env;struct Handler;impl EventHandler for Handler {}pub fn main() { // Login with a bot token from the environment let mut client = Client::new(&env::var("DISCORD_TOKEN").expect("token"), Handler) .expect("Error creating client"); client.with_framework(StandardFramework::new() .configure(|c| c.prefix("~")) .cmd("ping", ping)); if let Err(why) = client.start() { println!("An error occurred while running the client: {:?}", why); }}command!(ping(_context, message) { let _ = message.reply("Pong!");});```This is the example code, admittedly, yes.
gollark: It's in Rust.
gollark: AutoBotRobot is currently undergoing extensive development and testing. Feature suggestions?
gollark: What is this "shard"?
gollark: Ah.
