- Pistachios and macadamia nuts, without a doubt,
both in the top five nuts.
- I love your top five lists of things.
- Yeah.
- You have so many.
You have the top five funniest people in the office
and I'm number one.
- The funniest, funniest...
It's gotta be Coops.
(bell chiming)
- Yeah right.
Okay, let's rank this.
- We are having ice cream for breakfast.
(both clapping)
- We are ranking Gelato Messina flavors.
- Yes, we're doing it.
- This is like a tug-o-war.
- Yeah, and I'm winning.
- Messina is like an iconic
Australian ice cream institution.
It's a bit fancy.
It's in Victoria.
It's in New South Wales.
Any other state around Australia,
not sure if it's there.
(Hameda laughing)
You'll have to tell us in the comments.
- Yeah.
- Your favorite flavor?
- Passion fruit.
- Oh, I love passion fruit.
- Oh, I love it.
- Do you like the lemon, lemon gelato?
- No, I'm just like a passion fruit gal.
I could eat liters and liters of it
and I never get sick of it.
- I always like switch it up,
so I don't actually have a favorite flavor.
Do you?
- I'm a sorbet girl.
Mango and lemon is where it's at.
Our ranking system, it's pretty simple,
but if you're new to it,
it starts at Super God, God, Okay, Meh and Nah.
But at the end there'll be one product that trumps all.
- [Hameda] Oh.
- [Ryan] Ooh, salted coconut and mango.
- Ooh, baby.
- Shush, not so loud, not so loud.
- Let me do what I want.
- See, I don't ever get any with like fruit in it,
but I love coconut.
- Probably one of the best flavors at Messina.
- I'm not a coconut person.
- Interesting.
Okay, well, you might hate this then.
- Super tropical.
(bouncy music)
It's like a pina colada in ice cream form.
- Nah, so this one's pretty average, I reckon like-
(gasping)
- What?
Wash your mouth out.
- I'll wash it out with some better ice cream,
if there is anything.
- I kind of want more mango.
- Yeah, I can't really, I'm not really getting mango.
- It's like coconut with a hint of ocean.
- A meh for me. (bell chimes)
- Ah, that's wild.
This is a Super God, (bell chiming)
- What?
- Because it's such a unique flavor.
It's got mango in it.
- So? So does heaps of shit.
- Yeah. I have to give this an okay.
- It's not blowing me away, but it's not bad.
So I'm gonna say that this one is okay.
- Yeah. (bell chiming)
- It's pandan.
- Pandan is a leaf, so this is
leaf flavored ice cream.
I think in Filipino desserts, you'll get pandan.
Vietnamese use it, their version of like vanilla.
- I'm excited.
- It's a nice light green.
- [Zeta] Yeah, it's really pretty color.
(happy instrumental music)
- Well, it's really weird.
What is that? Huh?
- There's like a depth
of flavor here that I was not expecting.
- It's kind of like pancakes.
- Yeah.
- It's a little bit savory and sweet together.
- It's quite salty.
And it has this weird after taste.
It honestly tastes like toasted cereal.
- I don't know, like French toast or something.
- The after taste makes me feel like I just ate a cake.
- Yeah. Coconut cake. Pineapple cake.
This is God level.
- It's God for me too.
- I bet you Tom and Zeta called this one like a nah.
If I'm right, then you have to get me coffee after this.
- Okay.
- Is it better than passion fruit?
It is not.
- It's not.
- So it's just an, okay.
- This is a meh for me.
- God, hard to please today.
- Hard to please.
Yeah, hard to please. - Far out.
- [Ryan] Strawberry and cream. (bell chiming)
- [Hameda] It's strawberry and cream.
- [ Ryan] It's not just strawberry.
It's strawberry and cream.
So you know, there's gonna be a ripple.
There's gonna be some like...
- There's like jam or something in here.
- Strawberry and cream as a flavor combination,
who decided that those two things went together?
- Oh, it's like everywhere.
You know the British love strawberries and cream
for their stuff.
- Ah, blame them.
- This is, this doesn't fit
into the Messina fancy category for me.
It's very basic flavor, yeah. - No, it's very basic.
- But maybe that's who it's appealing to. Sorry.
- Oh
(bouncy happy music)
Yum.
This is like every kid's dream.
Little Timmy and little Janie would love this one.
- This tastes like strawberry yogurt.
But if you're doing a fruit ice cream, make it gelato.
Don't make it cream. Gelato fruits way better.
- Like sorbet?
- Yeah, sorbet.
- Oh yeah.
- It just, it just tastes better.
When it's creamy, I don't know,
I just don't like it as much.
- I'm Tom, I'm Italian and this isn't real gelato.
- Putting myself in the brain of my child self.
I would not go for this flavor
but then I don't like strawberry things.
I still don't think this is what you...
I feel like old women would like this.
(Ryan laughing)
- This is a God flavor.
- Oh, I would say this is a nah flavor.
(both laughing)
- This is a meh for me.
- It's a nah.
- It's like, I don't know.
It's a fine flavor, but there's better out there.
- [Ryan] White choc and hazelnut.
- [Hameda] Yum. That's going to be good.
- I can get on board with this.
Every sort of like French chocolate that is out there
like rolled into ice cream and like pure heaven.
- I'll be honest with you guys.
Not a white chocolate fan.
- Oh wow. - My least favorite chocolate.
- What else aren't you a fan of?
Hi Zeta, the bad food opinion haver, how are you?
Fucking hell, bro.
- But I do like hazelnut, I do.
- Oh, thank God.
We've found one thing Tom likes today.
- It's got a nutty smell.
I enjoy that.
The aroma of the nut.
- I also enjoy the aroma...
(both laughing)
- Mm. - Crunchy.
- I like the chunks.
- Mm. The chunks really make it.
- This is insane.
So creamy.
And it doesn't taste like white chocolate at all.
- It's not.
- The hazelnut flavor is totally
dominating and shining through
- The Bueno, the Kinder, that kind of flavor.
So if you're into that...
- Is it better than passion fruit?
It is not, but it's quite tasty.
- If this was like chocolate ice cream,
chocolate hazelnut, I would love this.
White chocolate, not my fave.
- Yeah.
- This is God for me.
(Hameda laughing)
- I would say that this is super God.
- I'm gonna go, God.
- I'm going okay.
- [Ev] I love how Tom's like,
"Yeah, it's okay, I'll probably choose chocolate,"
after demolishing the entire tub.
- Yeah.
- [Ryan] Super Dulce de leche.
if you say it like correctly, it's like dulce de leche.
- I mean, I'm sure it sounds much more beautiful
than it does coming from our accents.
- We're in business now.
This one looks good.
- Oh, of course.
The one you like, I'm not gonna like, not a caramel gal.
- [Tom] This looks caramel, creamy.
This is the creamiest of the lot.
Drinking some.
- Oh my God, Ryan.
It's too sweet for me.
- It's like a caramel ice cream.
- I'm gonna go super God.
It's absolutely, it is phenomenal.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- So this one for me is a meh.
- It's Delicious.
But I'm gonna have to give this guy an okay.
- 'Cause I think you can only handle it in small amounts.
I'm gonna just go God.
- [Tom] Tiramisu, a classic flavor coffee.
- [Zeta] Oh, this is the dessert of your people
- That's right, my people, the Italian people.
- Chocolate part don't love, but the coffee bit don't hate.
- All right.
- Okay.
- Oh very strong with the coffee.
- No
- Well maybe because I'm eating...
- Hameda...
- I'm eating the sponges.
- It's like a one out of 10 on the coffee scale.
- I'm eating the sponges.
(Tom smacking lips)
- Ooh. A lot of coffee coming through.
- Oh, I'm getting a lot of coffee flavor, and chunks.
- Super light and like elegant in flavor profile.
- Would you rather just eat a tiramisu though?
- Do you know what?
Gelato Messina have a tiramisu cake,
so you can get the cake, I'll get the ice cream
and then we're both settled.
- Oh my God, I love that.
(Ryan laughing)
- I reckon I would prefer the dessert over the ice cream.
- Yeah. You don't have to...
You're doing that like dramatically over there.
Like, that's like unnecessary.
- This is how I like to eat.
- This is gonna be an okay for me.
- Okay. As well.
I think there's better ones.
- Uh, nah
(low buzzing)
- Yeah nah. Yeah. Yep, nah.
- Yeah, nah.
- [Ryan] Okay, now we got macadamia.
- I love macadamia.
Is it a crunchy one?
Shit yeah, bitch.
- It's very crunchy.
- It's like the fancy ice cream.
- Okay, I'm confused, because macadamia is just like,
that's a macadamia right?
- [Ryan] A nut.
- Why are there's so many things in here?
- It looks like biscotti.
- Yeah.
- Oh, it is biscotti.
Either that or sugar coated macadamia.
- Yeah. Like a brittle.
- Yeah baby, ooh.
- A little bit of a sweet sticky crunch or something.
I don't know, I like it, but...
- Yeah, I fucking love it.
- For me, it's all about the gelato.
I just love gelato more.
- I mean, it's good.
I fuck with macadamias.
- I don't like macadamia. No.
- Really?
- No.
- This is a God.
This is pretty, pretty fucking decent.
- Oh my God Tom, guess what?
I'm also going to put it in God.
- Fucking copy cat.
- Yeah, I just wanna be like you all the time.
- This is going to be super God.
- Meh for me.
[Tom] Salted caramel, classic flavor.
- Overrated.
- I actually don't like salted caramel.
It's too sweet for me.
- Uh.
- Oh, it's beautiful texture.
- Mm, nah.
- It kind of tastes quite savory, which is nice.
Like it's very salted, which I'm into.
- It's got a burnt caramel taste
like slightly, slightly singed.
- It's really, really good.
- Salted caramel.
as a flavor is overrated.
I will die on this hill.
But this ice cream, you've done a very good job
of balancing all of the flavors.
- One of my favorites that we've tried today.
- I don't like it.
I wanted to wait...
- Talk to the hand. (Hameda laughing)
- Still an okay.
- It's an okay for me.
- I'm gonna give this one a super God.
- I'm giving this one a meh.
- Wow. We could not be more different today.
Milk Choc. - [Hameda] Milk choc.
- These are like boring flavors now.
This is a huge fucking nah for me.
I'm not even gonna try it.
- I can already tell this is gonna be in the God's category.
It's just a matter of which one?
Milk chocolate we love.
- Okay, try it. - We love a milk chocolate.
- You have to try it as well.
- I don't want to though.
- Well, you're in the fucking video.
- Okay, fine.
(light bouncy music)
- Ooh. Definitely not in the gods.
- It's good.
I like it.
I like chocolate ice cream.
- Classic. Yes.
Is it super God? No.
I'm gonna say it's okay.
- Ooh. I wanna give this guy a God.
- It's got a little chocolate chunks
that melt in your mouth when you have it.
It's absolutely delightful.
- This ice cream and being handcuffed to Tom
is what nightmares are made of.
- Mm-hmm.
I'm gonna give this a God.
- Of course you are.
I'm gonna give this a nah.
- [Ryan] Pistachio praline.
- Yum.
A pistachio is a nut and a praline is like,
you can have any nut in a praline.
I think it's like a caramel toffee, like crunch thing.
- Please don't come for me.
- Ut oh.
(Ryan gasping)
- For not liking pistachios and being Persian.
- Creamy.
- It's a soup.
(Ryan laughing)
- Yeah, fuck yeah.
I'd order this.
- Dreamy, yummy.
This one is so good.
- Yeah, I like a pistachio goo.
- The Pistachios are like slightly salty.
That makes me happy.
It's okay.
- I'm gonna say super God.
- It'll be...
- Okay.
- This is super God.
- Okay. - It's delicious.
- [Syb] The ice cream winner is praline.
- Hey, the pistachio.
Yeah
- That was well deserved. (hands clapping)
- Congratulations.
It's not passion fruit, but I'm glad it won.
- Yeah.
- Already like bending them.
How do-
- You're the one who keeps fucking going like this.
- Yeah, I know.
But people have sex with these, sex is quite rough.
(both laughing)
- Depends how you do it.
(Zeta laughing)
When you're making love
- When you're making love...
- It's different.
- Okay. See you.
(Zeta laughing)
(bouncy happy music)
