Supporting Partners

Streets ice cream was originally made in the back shed by Edwin (Ted) Street. He would then sell these to neighbours along with sweets, cakes and lemonade. Popularity grew and he soon used a cart, then a one horse-power motorbike to sell Streets ice cream. It continued to grow and today Streets ice cream is sold throughout Australia and New Zealand with well-known brands such as Magnum, Paddle Pop, Cornetto, Gaytime, Calippo and Blue Ribbon. We are proud members of RedCycle – , a recovery program for soft plastics. This means all our Streets soft plastic ice cream wrappers can be recycled at RedCycle drop off points. There are now more than 1,800 RedCycle drop off points in Coles and Woolworths stores around Australia. Research commissioned by Unilever and carried out by the UK Institute of Psychiatry has discovered that ice cream actually ‘lights up’ the brain’s pleasure zones. It appears from clinical trials that just one spoonful of ice cream brings a smile to the happy areas of the brain.
