1 Imogen R.  · Unbelievably disgusting. They have clearly cut every corner possible to make these for the lowest cost.
2 C Shields  · Streets products in general aren't the same anymore - very watered down and bland. Please go back to your old recipes.
1 Sandra Rice  · Ice not ice cream water added so fake terrible taste want buy again
1 Bree  · Does not taste like ice cream, like icy water. Would not buy again
2 Stella  · Soggy – Rubbish watery icecream and soggy cone. Use to love these now I'll go back to Drumsticks they have crispy cone as nd creamy icecream
1 S Graham  · Corneto Magnums – Will never buy any of these products again. They taste totally synthetic and now thrown them all away. Home made or nothing now

Talk about shrinkflation!!! I brought my first one in about 20 years. Cost me $6.00 at the milk bar and was so small. They used to be bigger and nicer. Not only that, they say that human consumers use so much plastic. This cornetto came with a plastic cap whereas decades ago it was a cardboard covering. Shame on Streets Show details

 Follow-up  · Follow up to questions Plastic cap, any thoughts? Yes. How much plastic is being produced and poisoning the planet. The old cover was good, ice cream was squished on top. What about the taste now? The taste now I can’t say anything because I can’t differentiate between now and 20 years ago. What a st^pid question but I can say it was more… Read more

One of the worst icecream in cone that I have tasted. Folks, stay away from this crap product. When my son complained to me about this I did not believe it. I was craving to have ice last I thought I should try this and struggled finishing half of it. Terrible product. Does it deserve even one star, no❗️

Bought a box of 6 from Woolworths. ‘Made in Italy’! ‘crunchy wafer’! Unfortunately, the wafer was definitely not crunchy. The worst thing about eating a cornetto is a soggy and chewing cone. All of them look will now go into the bin. What a waste of money! Show details

Taste like milky ice water – So disappointing, this was not ice cream it was milky ice water. I will return this to Sainsbury and request my money back. This must have been off as the taste was disgusting.

It isn't ice cream!!! – I have been looking for strawberry ice cream in the supermarket for a long time - I don't know why no company is making strawberry i/c any more then saw the Strawberry Cornettos were on special this week at Woolies. I bought a box of 6. Big mistake!! 1. Nowhere does the box say it is ice cream (the texture, colour and taste more closely resembles… Read more

a diluted gelato). 2. I made the mistake of not checking the country of origin - they are made in Italy! Will not be eating the rest, the flavour is really bad - pale strawberry coloured topping on the top and strawberry sorbet/gelato consistency for the rest. No it isn't ice cream!

Customer service is worse than the product – The only thing worse than there product is the customer service. We contacted them with pictures of the half made cornettos out of the box, soggy and icy. 2 weeks later they replied asking for bar codes etc. Obviously this was long in the bin by now. They promised to make it right and asked for all our details and if we prefered a Coles evoucher… Read more

or Woolworth evoucher. We did so but it never happened. About a week later they reply again asking all the same questions all over again. Barcode, receipt etc, and all our details. All they had to do was scroll up in the messages to see we had already been through all that. It was just their way of avoiding the voucher. We never asked for the vouchers, but don't offer something that you don't intend to give. Terrible service for such a big company.

It is the worst wafer ice cream I have ever bought. I bought the Strawberry Wafer type. It tasted very watery and the wafer is not crisp as advertised, it was very tough to chew. It actually made me feel a bit sick. Show details

 Follow-up  · I bought it at Woolworths, on special, as Woolies own brand of Choc Mint wafer ice creams were not available. I had never bought those type of Streets ice creams and never will again. I honestly can't remember the expiry date. The packaging was fine.

Cornetto is superior in quality to Drumstick – I do not understand why Cornetto is not much preferred. The quality of the ice cream is vastly superior to drumstick which uses an inferior and lower quality ice cream recipe.

Good – a great creamy and smooth icecream that has a great amount of vanilla icecream filling the cone..best bit is the chocolate tip and nuts ontop real vanilla flavouring inside a crunchy cone covered with chocolate sauce and lots of nuts ontop. chocolate found at bottom of cones a real favourite of mine. smooth soft icecream that is enjoyed by all… Read more

family members, comes in packet size of 4 or larger boxes of 20, often on special for $19.99 (larger box) when taking the wrapping off at times the tip of the cone(base) snaps off), a little big for younger kids to hold and a little costly if brought in 4 pkt ($7)

Good – If you like a crunchy cone ice cream with just a hint of chocolate and a sprinkle of nuts and the yummy solid chocolate bottom, then this is the ultimate ice cream. I like the vanilla variety because this is sweet and naughty enough for me. Its an occassional treat because it is high in kilojoules and pretty big too. This is a cone ice cream from… Read more

another company (the competitor is Nestle's Drumstick), and since these are my favourite type of ice cream, I really enjoy having one of these. The cone can become soggy if left too long in the freezer (does that mean you have to finish a box as soon as you bring it home?). A lighter less sugar type would be great. These are expensive, (as are most speciality ice creams), so I only buy when on sale if I really want it.

Nasty tasting ice confection in a soggy cone. Bears no resemblance to the original Cornettos, vastly inferior to Peters' Drumsticks. This was pure rubbish - I thought I must've got a short-dated pack, but no, they are well within date. Then I read the other reviews, now I understand. Show details

Fake ice cream and fake taste – What a shock. No more real ice cream. More like shaving cream. Sickly sweet manufactured taste. What a disgrace. Once a great product now gone down hill on the cheap and nasty quality side. Bring back the original version. This one is crap. I would rather pay extra than have to buy this ever again as it is. Gone down the same path as Drumsticks.

Poor experience – Awful! Never again! I just had a cornetto whilst sitting next to my husband who was eating a supermarket version. The cornetto was small by comparison, easily an inch shorter and an inch narrower at the top of the cone whilst being at least half as much again in cost. It was poor in taste too. I can safely say I’ve eaten my last cornetto. Show details

Poor imitation of the past – The ice cream is now totally flavourless, like frozen milk. A very bad imitation of a once great product. I will never buy one again unless they dramatically change and heavily publicise improvement.

Scam! – This bore no resemblance to any Cornetto I ever met. It’s been a while and let me tell you things have changed! The Cornetto has been replaced by its evil Italian cousin (yes- made in Italy)!!! Completely ice cream free- also free of flavour and any kind of creamy texture. I’m cured. Never again. Oh and please don’t buy one- it only encourages them! Show details

I used to love these – I thought cornettos in petrol stations were $2 each. The guy asked for $5.20 in Nowra. I have looked everywhere for a year to buy a box but no one sells them. I think they must be discontinued.the one I bought hss as d a wet cone. So disappointed. Show details

Never again – Bought two chocolate Cornetto today. Chemical tasting chocolate sauce and the ice cream tasted like spray can cream with sugar added then frozen surrounded by soggy wafer. Both my husband and I hated it and agreed we would never purchase another. Paid $4 each, wouldn’t buy another if they were 40 cents. Streets need to read their reviews. HELLO - ANYONE HOME??? Show details

Terrible – Just like Cadbury , Streets have totally ruined their products & reputation just so they can maximize their already huge profits!! Only way to stop this & bring back the quality that we loved , is to totally boycott their products until the quality comes back! How greedy are these buggers! My god! Show details

Terrible – Sh*thouse! Cornetto’s used to be better than Drumsticks. What happened??!!! The ice cream is icy, not creamy and the chocolate tastes cheap, with a soggy cone. Won’t ever buy again.

Made in France! – Disgusting. What happened to the Aussie made delicious ice cream. You should be ashamed of yourselves, Streets/Unilever. You show such contempt for consumers by selling this garbage ice cream globally.  Show details

Gross crap made with cheap ingredients – Purchased a box of Cornettos from my local Woolies (on sale thank goodness!) the other day and was highly disappointed. The "ice cream" was a weird bright white, sickly sweet frozen gloop and the "chocolate" tasted like old cooking chocolate that was left exposed in a pantry for weeks. The part at the bottom of the cone wouldn't even melt down… Read more

while eating it, I had to spit it out! So gross. I honestly thought we just ended up with a dud box, but after reading all of the reviews, I now realise that is not the case.

Sickly after taste – My tastebuds were ambushed when I was presented with one of these in the dark and already out of its wrapper. Not aware that it was the always avoided Cornetto , I placed it in my mouth and reacted to the unfamiliar sickly, awful chemical taste with a question, “ WTH is this ? “.

What a disaster – Overly priced for a substandard product. Not sure what flavour this was supposed to be. We bought this being a bit of a Cornetto fan, but this is real dud.  Show details

So very disappointing! – We usually buy Aldi Crowns (which are pretty darn good) which are a cheap yummy treat but last week we thought we’d “treat” ourselves to the original vanilla Cornetto as it had been years since we last had them, so bought a 4 pack. We were so disappointed! The icecream wasn’t icecream, it was sickly caramel tasting frozen gelatinous crap. The nuts… Read more

and cone were soggy & the chocolate inside the cone was awful. Streets, what have you done?!!! You have no business calling this an icecream! We’ll be going back to Aldi from now on.

What Happened To Quality??? – I bought a 4 Pack of Vanilla along with "Another Brand", Found the Conettos to be cheap tasting, and didn't even melt at the time, I'm guessing because of to much added water, Unlike the other Brand Box at the Same time, I could bearly unwrap without it melting, goes to show Quality Full Cream Milk ingredients. Edwin Ted Street would be Appalled of this so call "Ice Cream Treat" that Cornetto has become.. Don't waste your money. Show details
