Aussies shocked after noticing Bubble O’ Bill has a bullet hole in his hat

Nostalgic Aussies have been left stunned after discovering iconic ice cream Bubble O’ Bill has a ‘bullet hole’ in his hat. 

The obscure detail seems to have gone unnoticed by Australians who grew up enjoying the frozen treat and foodies are now sharing their surprise online. 

‘How old were you when you discovered BUBBLE O’ BILL had a BULLET HOLE in his hat?’ a Queensland man asked in a post to Facebook. 

The observation wowed many in the comments who had never noticed the hole before despite eating the ice cream for years.  

‘Today old and I’ve probably eaten 1,000 in 38 years,’ one woman replied. 

‘What! Have I been eating blindfolded for the past 50 odd years?’ wrote another.

‘I had no clue hahaha,’ laughed a third.  

But not everyone is a fan of the quirky feature with some thinking the hole means the sweet snack contains less ice cream.     

‘To be honest when I noticed the hole I felt annoyed that they could have filled it with ice cream,’ someone responded. 

‘I hated it when they added the bullet hole in his hat, it was a nice spin on ‘and we have a new section where there is no ice cream’,’ a second agreed. 

The Streets website confirms the cowboy character’s hat doesn’t just have a hole but a bullet hole. 

‘An Australian Icon! Bubble O’ Bill is a classic blend of strawberry, chocolate and caramel ice confection, with a mega bubble gum nose, and a bullet hole through his hat,’ it reads.
