What Is Drumstick Ice Cream?
The Drumstick is one of Australia's most iconic ice cream cones — a Streets Ice Cream product consisting of a crispy wafer cone filled with vanilla ice cream, topped with a chocolate disc, and coated in crushed peanuts around the top edge. Streets Ice Cream (a Unilever brand, the Australian equivalent of Wall's in the UK and Good Humor in the USA) produces the Drumstick as part of its core range alongside the Golden Gaytime, the Magnum, and the Paddle Pop. The Drumstick is available in multiple flavour variants (Classic, Caramel, Choc Mint, Rocky Road) and was introduced to Australia in 1963. It is found in virtually every petrol station, supermarket, and convenience store freezer across Australia and is a reliable staple of the Australian summer ice cream experience. The combination of crispy cone, creamy ice cream, chocolate cap, and peanut crunch creates a multi-textured eating experience that has made it one of the world's most widely sold ice cream products (the Streets/Unilever version is sold globally under various brand names).
