If you like lining up in front of Queen Street Gucci, you will LOVE lining up here.

Giapo have accomplished the kind of next level Commodity Fetishisation that would make Karl Marx roll in his grave. You probably won't get much change from a greenie (or two). A signature cephalopodic cone replete with slightly unsettling chocolate protuberances will hit your wallet harder than breakfast radio hits New Zealand's PM. Alternatively, you might shell out a similarly stratospheric sum for the Instagram-ready 'Selfie Cone' so you can show your social network just how chucklesome your superficiality is.

Beneath the thick slathering of gimmick and theatre, the ice-cream itself is actually quite good. Four Stars - would go back for the yeets.
