“Messina Hack Thrills Aussies: ‘Get Out!'”
In an unexpected turn of events, an Australian gelato hack has taken the internet by storm. The ingenious method, shared by British food blogger Ross James Howse, reveals how to maximize value at Gelato Messina. His post on social media garnered nearly one million views, thrilling gelato enthusiasts across Australia.
How the Messina Hack Works
The hack is simple yet effective. A 500ml tub of Gelato Messina costs $19 and allows two flavors. However, if you opt for three scoops in a takeaway cup, you’ll receive a 500ml amount of gelato for only $10.90, saving $8.10.
The Viral Sensation
Howse, who operates under the social media handle @banginsangas, first discovered this trick six years ago. Initially, when ordering gelato with a friend, they unexpectedly received a takeaway cup instead of the usual tub. This sparked a revelation. When they inquired about scooping until the cup was full, they were delighted to learn that three scoops fit perfectly.
- Original tub size: 500ml
- Cost for 500ml tub: $19
- Cost for three scoops: $10.90
- Potential savings: $8.10
Customer Reactions
Social media reactions were enthusiastic. Commenters expressed astonishment, with various exclamations like, “GET OUT!” and statements praising the clever use of the internet. The hack has led many to rethink their gelato orders.
Gelato Messina’s Response
Despite rumors that this hack might lead to the removal of the three-scoop option, a spokesperson from Gelato Messina confirmed that no changes have been made to the menu. Customers can still request the three-scoop takeaway cup, which remains available.
However, they clarified that while the cup may appear full, slight flattening of the top scoop and the structure of the scoops can create some empty space. This is particularly true for chunk-heavy flavors.
Conclusion: Embrace the Hack
This gelato hack not only offers a budget-friendly alternative for gelato lovers but also continues to excite fans. As long as you follow this clever ordering trick, you can delight in enjoying multiple flavors without breaking the bank.
