2 Alex A.  · What's happened to ice cream. Plenty of cows in the world. I purchased it on and off this year, and its consistently bad.
1 Esmay  · Used to be the best icecream, now disgusting. There's a horrid chemical flavour and so bland. Won't be buying this again.
1 Tamara M.  · Golden gay time - crap never buying or eating again. Ice cream is Moore ice than cream it’s just unpleasant not paying for that again. Very unsatisfying
5 Michael M  · Simply the best – Original and the best, bloody delicious, thank you streets yum yum
5 Sharyn J.  · Plant Based Golden Gaytime - YES!! – Yum! The plant based Golden Gaytime brings back child memories!
3 Nicholas I.  · im australian and it is really good in summer – really good to eat, one of the best ice creams

I am so very disappointed with Streets Golden Gaytime. So sickly sweet and mushy. I had one ice-cream and threw the other 3 ice-creams in the bin. There was no way I could eat another. Yuk! This was not the classic ice-cream experience I grew up with. I will never buy these again. No, I do not recommend. Show details

I Paid$60 for 6 packets each packet containing 4 ice creams. ice cream has a artificial chemical taste , not at all like the old recipe.

Streets latest Golden Gaytime Birthday Cake offering could be deemed, False or misleading advertising under Consumer Law. Refer to the attached photos showing what the contents are supposed to look like and what they actually look like. Taste was also unimpressive and did not reflect what the advertising represented. Update - Posted around… Read more

10/12/25 and as at 26/12/25, no response from Streets. Seems they don't care about customers' dissatisfaction.

Tasty for Immitation garbage – Horrible, the taste is ok. But it isn't food, they don't even use plant milk, instead it's made with a chemical concoction & oils! Absolutely disgraceful, plantbased milks are inexpensive, healthy & delicious! Yet they use rubbish for more $$$ . Don't put this crap in the body if you value your life long-term.. Please! Show details

Wood pulp or similar in my ice cream? – Found a piece of wood pulp or the like two bites in.. they're one of my fav ice creams normally but this was new. Wasn't from the stick as I hadn't made it that far yet. It was the same color as the crumbs so I didn't notice until I bite into the ice cream and it didn't break apart. Rest of the ice cream was fine, just putting in a review to give a heads up :)

Vegan Gaytime is Yuk! Disgusting! – Avoid vegan/ plant based gaytime at all costs!!! It tastes nothing remotely close to gaytime. The best place for it is in the bin. Bought it on a hot day at Woolworths at Marrickville Metro, NSW. Threw the lot out!!!! Yuk! Show details

Plant based Golden Gaytime is true to original – We have now been through 4 packets of the plant based golden gaytime ice creams over the past month and they are delicious. My partner, our two young daughters and I see no difference in flavour or texture between these and the dairy version of these ice creams. I would wholy recommend the plant based golden gaytimes to anyone looking for a dairy alternative or just a delicious treat. Show details

Perfect Flavour and Texture – I purchased a pack of Golden Gaytimes from Coles in the last week. This is the best they've been in years. The caramel flavour centre has always been good though the biscuit crumb coating used to be soggy. The pack from this week were perfect, not only the centre was nice, so was the crispy coating. Show details

My first Golden Gaytime! – A vaguely honeycombed cuboid of froth held together by little more than a sprinkling of crumbs, whilst still maintaining its shape even after being kept in the boot of the car on a sweltering Aussie summer day, a Golden Gaytime is, if nothing else, an engineering marvel. It also manages to solve a problem that has plagued manufactures of… Read more

ice-cream sandwiches and other similar ice-cream-with-a-side-of-cookie products for decades; how to combine the chunkiness of the sandwich portion, whilst maximising the taste sensation of the ice-cream portion. Ice-cream sandwiches have always erred on the side of having too much sandwich, which results in your mouth being full of a cloggy sticky dough that adds little, and takes away plenty, from the culinary experience.

By breaking up the biscuit into a dust of shattered pieces (and honeycomb flavoured at that!) Golden Gaytimes get the balance just right.

Don't buy, not even at 1/2 price – Possibly the worst tub of ice cream I've ever had. The 'biscuit' flavour is horrendous, imagine really old Marie cookies, the kind grandma left in the Tupperware just for when you visited, that same 3 year old packet, but then make them incredibly slimey. There is no chocolate at all, even though it's pictured on the tub? Just poorly flavoured… Read more

yellow and white - not even distinguishable flavours. And the texture? It's so fluffy, in a 'we saved a heap of money' because half of the ice cream is literally air.

Utterly disappointed – Had high hopes for this but was sadly disappointed. The ice cream was mousse like in texture & the crumbs on the outside were soggy!!! What a waste of money! I have 3 left in the freezer if anyone wants them?.. Not sure if they were stored incorrectly from the supermarket but was nothing like I remembered as a kid. Where did the yummy, creamy flavor go?! The crispy, crunchy crumbs?!!! Show details

Gaytime no more! – Golden Gaytimes have been a favourite ice cream of mine for a few decades now. However, with the latest pack that I purchased, the ice creams look and taste quite different, and for the worse. They are smaller, for one, but the general quality of the chocolate coating, biscuit crumb, and ice cream has been compromised. Gaytimes used to be rich and… Read more

creamy but now they just taste unnatural and inferior. The ice cream has a strange airy and fatty texture that leaves a strange taste in my mouth, and the flavours seem somehow muted, apart from the sugar. I ended up throwing them in the bin because I value my health. I simply don't understand why Streets would change something that worked. Bottom line is that I don't enjoy them anymore so I won't be purchasing them again. A shame.

Gaytimes changed for the worse – Bought these gaytimes 4pack as they were 50% discounted. They were a pale imitation to how I remember them, just a sugar coating, no delicious crumb. Will avoid in future, shame. Show details

Dishonest advertising, but hey, who cares – Virtually no choc on this 'chocolate dipped' treat. They still sell em. This review, and yours, doesn't mean anything. it's a data point. To hurt an uncaring, gouging corp like this? Google Unilever and buy NONE of their products. That's it. That's all they care about. When the 'data points' ie your disgust, become fiscally problematic.

New version tastes watery and too sweet – Golden Gaytimes were once my favourite. It use to be creamy and caramel like. Now it has no much sugar, too much ice and is not creamy at all. Luckily Honeycomb Magnums hits the spot, they remind me of the old Gaytimes.  Show details

What Happened? – I was very surprised and disappointed with the new version. I didn't know Golden Gaytimes were going to be changed. They have been one of my favourite icecreams for many years (I am in my sixties). I probably won't buy them again. It was like an icy pole version. Its the first time I've ever had pain in my teeth from eating them. Show details

Failed – The ‘new’ gay time ice cream is terrible. Cheap version of a previously really good ice cream, would not buy again or recommend. As always profits come first, finding a way to make it cheaper rather than leave it the same.  Show details

Golden Gaytime krispy kreme was awful – We purchased the Golden Gaytime Krispy Kreme flavour and it was a real disappointment all around. The ice cream did not taste like vanilla but more like ice. lt was soggy and lacked chocolate flavour. Show details

Gaytime Sanga disgusting – I agree with many other posters here the Golden Gaytime Sanga is the worst icecream I have eaten in Australia. Not just nothing like a proper Gaytime but really poor quality, a horrible taste and chemical after taste. Also looks nothing like the picture on the box. Show details
