Default Monaco Bar ice cream Is Back!

Went down to the shops today and saw the little sign saying it's back. So i bought 2. Didn't even feel like ice cream. But who cares! Awhile ago there was an on-line petition to get them back into production. Guess it worked.
Anyone remember them?

Found this pic.

: WOOOHOOOO!!! I love those bad boys & emailed whoever the hell it was that made them ages ago to try and get them back. I hereby claim responsibility for their return.

Worst thing is that I'm on a hell of a diet right and there is no way on this earth I'm eating one til after christmas. Going to buy a couple of boxes for the freezer just in case.

This may be the best news I've heard this year.

Don't worry, he's just mucking around.

I can't believe you don't remember them though, they only stopped making them 6 years ago.

They are not the same as they used to be! The biscuit is too hard, I was very sad when I bought one for $3.00! But let me tell you, go to woolies get a box of ice-creams called ice-cream sandwiches made by "the authetic ice-cream company" in a pack of 4. They come in either vanilla, chocolate or mint ice-cream and they are very close to the orginal monaco bar. Yes, I am a fan. ahhaa.

Now, the advertising for this on the radio, the chick pronounces is 'mon-ARR-co'. I always thought it was pronounced 'MON-a-co'. What do you guys think?

Just looks like a Giant sandwich to me... We've had them over here for ages. :S

I must admit that about 5-6 years ago they changed the biscuit mix making it softer and changed the wrapping from foil to plastic. Boo!!! Bring back the original I say!

Nar, that's a glass half full/empty thing. Doesn't matter though, 'cause they still taste killer.

BINGO ! We alway's have a plentiful supply of the mint one's in this house.

I'm not much of a fan of ice-cream but these are sensational.

Really, ice cream, people are getting excited over ICE CREAM.....really think about this. I don't doubt it's delicious, but people are treating it as it's the Holy Grail.

ICE CREAM!!!!!!!!

Also, no need for the shot at the sig. John Caparulo is a funny man.

You know, it was about the time RATM broke up that they pulled the Monaco bar. A little piece of my died when it happened. Now they're back and it feels like this world is returning to normal.

Did the Bills ever disappear? I recall them always being available.

Admittedly, I have never had a Monaco Bar.
The old man refused to buy them because they were "bad value".

I think I shall try some, given your defiance in the fact that Maxibons are bad.
