Unbelievably disgusting. They have clearly cut every corner possible to make these for the lowest cost.
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.
Follow-up · I bought it from Woolworths. I am sorry, I don't know the batch number. No, I didn't finish it, never buying it again.
Positive reviews
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.
No Drumstick, but not bad – As i said, No Drumstick but not bad i was satisfied as much as i could be from this frosty treat.
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)

There isn’t a minus so I had to give it 1!! But honestly it was a taste of chemical ,the bright white icecream made me feel sick I thought it was a stitch up brand to be honest but no yuck never again !!!!!!! Show details
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
Yucky – Why is the ice cream like ice? It's nothing like ice cream, to be honest it's terrible. And my cone was 3 quarters empty...drumsticks sh all over you!! I have no clue how streets sell this terrible product under their banner. Never again. 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 – Terrible so disappointed!! Soggy cone and really icy!! I can not believe how much they have changed I even brought another box in case it was a one off BUT no just as bad!!! Won’t be buying any more!!! 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 ? “.
