    Mint Feast because it has everything the Feast has PLUS mint.

    And Brunch. Because I think 99 will paste it but I prefer Brunch to a 99, simples.

    Feast because it has everything the Mint Feast has EXCEPT mint.

    And 99. I mean, it's the definition of ice cream, right?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,705 ✭✭✭✭Green&Red


    FFS, disaster of a match-up, how is a feast going to make the final?

    99 has come up against the brunch and iceberger in the last two rounds, both of which are immeasurably nicer than a feast


    Anyway - mint feast cause its marginally less gicky than the original which is a turd wrapped in chocolate ice cream

    99 - it would be my go to ice-cream - the fact that it can be catered for small kids, you can add syrup, some fancy places even have the syrup through the ice cream. Its a magnificent creation

    Regular feast please. I eat the all the crackly outside first then the choc ice cream. Leaving the chunk of choc till last. Lovely.

    I much rather mint in my Pimms Cup

    Ooooh 99 or Brunch.

    If we were talking about brunches of old it would be no contest but they really fooked them up. So has to be 99 for me please with strawberry sauce!

    original feast beacuse it's pure chocolatey goodness.

    99 - bitta raspberry syrup. flake. heaven


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    Mint Feast because i like the Mint Flavour more.

    99 because it has remained excellent AND has the nostalgia factor.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,426 ✭✭✭Hannibal_Smith


    Wait...I read it wrong!!! Phew


    Feast original cos the chocolate is yum. Mint icecream is a cryogenic nightmare.

    Oh. I still have to knock out the brunch and go for a 99 though :( Because if I was in Bray on a sunny day, thats what I'd go for


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Original Feast definitely.

    Mint flavour is for chewing gum, toothpaste and other things that shouldn't be swallowed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    4 good semi finalists.

    Twister can maybe feel aggrieved not to have made it here due to the draw, but 4 worthy contenders anyway.

    sf1 - standard feast, cause whats wrong with chocotale that you'd have to replace it with mint? weirdos.....

    sf2 - brunch, cause little bits of crap stuck to your icecream is great, and the choice it gives for how to eat it, make eating it different every time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,623 ✭✭✭lassykk


    SF1 - Can't vote - They are both stink

    SF2 - 99 - This is a hard one as I do like the old brunch but a good 99 is hard to beat - However a good 99 is very hard to come by

    Mint Feast - because mint ice cream > chocolate ice cream every day of the week, and people who don't like mint ice cream are the same sort of people who don't like dark chocolate, and those people are what we in the mint ice cream/dark chocolate elite call basic b*tches and I ain't no basic b*tch.

    Brunch - tough call, but Brunch wins because its got a stick you can throw at people once your done, which is a deciding factor in these things now apparently. Its also less messy, and there's less anxiety about dropping it or fending off seagulls - once saw a lad in a fancy suit eating a 99 in the park, a seagull swooped down and went for the ice cream and your man tried to wave his 99 out of the way but just ended up spilling it down his front, so not only did he not enjoy his ice cream but he ruined his clothes too, and if he had been eating a Brunch (which you'll remember comes on a stick which can also be thrown at people later on) he would've had more manouverabilty to move the Brunch out of the Seagulls grasp, not spill it on himself, and probably also have enough focus to punch the stupid seagull in it stupid f**king face as he hadn't just spilled a 99 all over himself. I rest my case!

    ...once saw a lad in a fancy suit eating a 99 in the park...

    He sounds like a basic b*tch

    If you can't manage to hold onto a f**king ice cream for the five minutes you're eating it then you have bigger issues

    On a related note heres one of my favourite videos

    He sounds like a basic b*tch

    He seemed like an absolute a*sehole to be honest, and him getting attacked by a seagull, spilling his ice cream all over himself and not being able to eat it, was the greatest part of that day for me, but for the purposes of discrediting the 99, I had to tell the story as if what had happended was a bad thing. Watch me tell the exact same story in the final when I'm undoubtedly voting for the 99 to win, and the story will have a very different spin on it - the villain of the piece will be suit w*nker and the seagull and the 99 teamed up to teach him a lesson.

    SF 1: Mint Feast cos mint + choc is yummy, and the mint kinda cools ye off on our verrry rare hot days in Ireland, where as the original feast is just like a bar of chocolate thats abit cold.
    SF 2: Brunch- its perfect ice cream I think. fruity, creamy, with a biscuit surprise, damn tasty!!

    Abstain from the first because they're both disgusting.

    99 for the second because I love them as much as an adult as I did as a child. They never lose their yummy nom nomness.

    I'm voting for the 99 for exactly the same reason.

    A fun story which wouldn't have happened with a brunch

    Brunch, me and mammy eat them, arms locked, walking to the Lilac Centre

    It has to be a 99 because everyone loves a 99 on a hot summers day. Not everyone likes a brunch bit I dont know ANYONE who won't eat a 99.

    It's a classic you start eating them as a toddler + they are still as nice at 80.
