Green or orange – this question divides generations. Eskimo has had ‘Twinni’ ice cream with pear and orange flavors in its range since 1968. Now an Austrian supermarket chain has sold the two variants separately. The reactions range from enthusiasm to horror.
“This is criminal,” posted the operators of the popular Instagram page ThugLife Austria. There is also a photo from the Spar freezer rack showing the two variants “pear ice cream on a stick” and “orange ice cream on a stick”.
“Was the divorce amicable?”
The responses represent the full range of ice cream lovers’ emotions. “The gap in the market has been filled,” someone writes. “Ah, that’s nonsense… the fun is in taking things apart,” said another user.
However, Spar itself said it with a wink: “Now everyone can eat two pieces of their favorite variety – we see no problem with that.”
Others took it with humor: “Was the divorce amicable?!” asks one user. Spar replied: “Relationship status: it’s complicated.” At least one misconception has finally been cleared up: “I always thought the green ice cream was apple,” one follower posted. That would now be clarified.
Classic top seller lists
The ‘Twinni’ is one of the most popular ice cream products among Austrians; According to manufacturer Eskimo, it has been at the top of the sales lists almost continuously since its market introduction in the late 1960s. In 2020, the female counterpart ‘Twinna’ was launched in strawberry and orange-passion fruit varieties in red and yellow.
