We’ve all left voicemails we’d erase if we could, which – if you’re anything like me – are fucked-up, real me, half-past five booty calls.
But for one woman it wasn’t the hanky panky that she wanted in the middle of the night. It was Messina. We get that. We feel her, emotionally.
This is the deadset LOL of a voicemail she left for Messina Fitzroy on NYE 2016:
She’s taking the piss, right? Either way, Messina are scoopin’ out ice cream for $1 today because of her, and for that, we’re OK with whatever her agenda is.
Here’s how the magic happened:
Messina tracked down the woman, named Cecilia, and apologised to her by whipping up four of her fav flavours: Baked Cheesecake, Salted Caramel Gelato, Hazelnut Fudge and Candied Macadamia Nuts and coined it “The Voicemail” (which sounds like a two-star Netflix film imo) in honour of her.
On top of that, they decided to offer the flavour to Syd and Melbs CBDs for $1 from 3-5 pm that they’ll deliver right into your gob within 30 mins – which is actually pretty amazing considering it’s not that bubby cup shit you usually get. It’s a half-litre tub. If you’re a Sydney sider today and melting like Elphaba, what a bloody day for it amirite. FYI: It’s delivery only today here, but you can get the flavour for the next week in stores as well.
Props to the company for grabbing Cecilia’s proverbial balls as a primo marketing tool, hey. And while I 100% wouldn’t associate with a person this dramatically affected by gelato IRL, today we all owe her one.
