Working class men and women of the world, rejoice, you now have an official snack to sate your working class hunger. Australia’s Working Class Man himself, Jimmy Barnes, now has his own ice cream flavour.
Now, we’re not quite sure why anyone would use Barnesy as an inspiration for an ice cream flavour. Quite frankly, when we think of a Barnesy flavour, all we can think is sweat, spit, beer, and an odd diesel scent.
However, the iconic Peter’s brand has decided to throw their weight behind the Cold Chisel frontman. The One Tough Cookie Dough Drumstick flavour is set to hit freezer aisles in the coming days, alongside the Dam Edna-inspired Glamington flavour.
As Tone Deaf reported earlier this year, punters headed to Lanenway festival were able to lick and bite their favourite musos after Gelato Messina unveiled a series of flavours inspired by the acts on the lineup.
“Have you ever thought about savouring Dune Rats in a cone? What Royal Blood would taste like? How Connan Mockasin would feel dripping down your arm? Or how Little Dragon could lick your afternoon into shape?” wrote Laneway organisers.
Barnesy himself (not to be confused with the ice cream version) has been a busy man of late. He’s gearing up to release a new best-of compilation, Best of the Soul Years (1990 – 2015), and he recently took on Reclaim Australia.
A working class snack for the working class man! Looking good Jimmy Barnes – Official.
