That story about the Whytes who found some brown in their ice cream at the Coogee Bay Hotel in Sydney, Australia will lead to a formal complaint and subsequent investigation by the New South Wales Food Authority.
To tackle the poopy publicity, the hotel hosted a press conference yesterday, and offered free ice cream to patrons.
The Sydney Morning Herald reports Monday morning that yesterday – they’re 14 hours ahead or something — in the beer garden was just another sunny Sunday afternoon.
“Bevan Read, at lunch with his wife and three daughters, unknowingly took advantage of the free ice-cream offer. As the girls sat down to their bowls of vanilla ice-cream, a flash of horror passed across their mother’s face as she heard the news. But after careful inspection, the girls were allowed to continue to eat.
Mr Read said, "We’re pretty impressed they’re putting on free ice-cream for the kids," before adding jokingly, "I’m just glad that I’m not having any."
Eddie and Lynne Sulkowicz had brought their granddaughters, Claudia and Alexia Karam, for a meal. They said they would probably still eat there but the girls’ mother said they would not be having ice-cream. "At least not chocolate, anyway," Mr Sulkowicz added.
