In early 2021, an online petition to change the product's name to something "less offensive" gained traction on social media. However, it was met with backlash by the general public, including counterpetitions,[18] and the original petition to rename was withdrawn. Streets has stated that they won't change the product's name.[19] In the same year, the name of the product was criticised by a Muslim association in Malaysia.[20]
Do these illiterate cunts realise that "gay" is an old English word for happy? Have they considered picking up a book? I guess if they did, they wouldn't be homophobic.

Even if there wasn't the history, the people calling it offensive are telling on themselves. For gay people, gaytime is just time. If you don't want gaytime to exist the only thing I can conclude is you don't want gay people to exist.

Can’t wait for them to discover the German chocolate version of this
Ah, the good old Negerküsse (German) or Negerzoenen (Dutch), translated: Negro Kisses. In the Netherlands they've been renamed to Kisses 2 decades ago, for obvious reasons.
Edit: ffs, I hate not being able to use the N-word for a factual statement.

You could tell me anything about Australia and I'd have little choice but to reflexively believe it. Oh they have a brand of children's sandals called Flippy Floppy Cunts? Sure, whatever. There's a shark with gorilla arms holding knives fashioned from goat bones and using them to mug surfers? Of course that's a thing, no further investigation needed.
Australia is the world's marsupial pouch filled with equal parts mischief and nightmarish animal terrors.

In Australia, kids wear thongs to the beach.
In the US, kids root for sport.
Swap the country of either statement, and it gets super creepy.

danny devito drops his ice cream cone with way too much ice cream given the teensy cone. "i just need a monster cone for my magnum ice cream"
Walls was started in 1922. Streets was bought by Walls in 1960. That's why they have the same logo. They're both owned by Unilever now.

As is tradition.
Fun fact, half the Australian beverages market is owned by one, now foreign, company - Asahi.
Our regulators have really been snoozing on their anti-monopoly duties in so many industries.

They also own Goodhumor in the US. Which makes strawberry shortcake and chocolate versions of this icecream stick starting in the 1920s. They were originally famous for their ice cream trucks and uniforms.
That's the "heartbrand" which all unilever ice cream all over the world uses, under different names (usually bought up local ice cream brand names)

Worked at a servo in the middle of bumfuck nowhere as a teenager.
The ice cream freezer was behind the counter so customers had to ask for what they wanted.
Gaytimes were popular as all fuck but people were so hesitant to say the word.
When Magnums came along, they were twice the price of all other ice creams but people loved them because they were simply that much better than everything else.

Sweet caramel ice cream with bits of soft biscuit, lovely.
I love a Golden Gaytime in my mouth, and have ever since I was a kid.

Gaytime and this! Balls to the wall trolling all demographics?
it does look good, but pretty different i think
the chunks on a gaytime are crushed biscuit chunks, while these look like nuts?
and the flavours look pretty different
from wikipedia:
You can get Goldene Schwulenzeit at Rewe.
