One of Australia’s favourite summertime treats of the noughties has made a resurgence to supermarket shelves after a 15-year-long hiatus.
Since disappearing in 2002, Streets’ Paddle Pop Bionic Bubble Gum flavour ice cream has been sorely missed, leaving fans pleading for its return.
But the ice cream brand answered the calls of gum-flavoured-ice cream-deprived individuals on Thursday— announcing the triumphant comeback of the much-loved flavour.
Nostalgic fans can now get their hands back on the aesthetically swirled blue and white dairy sweet, with it finally re-stocked in stores around the country.

The tasty delight’s revival comes after strong demand following the re-release of its chocolate cousin, Caramel Choc Dip, in May.
The aggressive appeals from ice-cream lovers were too strong to ignore, according to Streets Marketing Manager, Scott Mingl.
‘It wasn’t out of the blue that Bionic Bubble Gum was the next old favourite Paddle Pop to re-release,’ he revealed in a statement.
‘Ever since Caramel Choc Dip hit the shelves we’ve had a ridiculous number of requests to bring Bionic Bubble Gum back too.’
‘We can’t wait for Paddle Pop lovers to take a trip down memory lane and share them with younger generations too.’

‘Grab your mates and beat the heat 2002 style because Bionic Bubble Gum Paddle Pop is back, but for a limited time only.’
