A long-awaited item has finally landed at Hungry Jack's, and the reviews are in.
The fast food giant announced the Nutella Storm would be hitting stores on July 1, with the ice cream featuring vanilla soft serve, Nutella and wafer crumb.
And, despite the wild weather battering much of New South Wales, many food fans rushed into their local Hungry Jack's to try it.
Popular food reviewer Russ Eats said Nutella was one of his favourite spreads, and he was excited to try the ice cream.
'I reckon this is the final dagger in the Storm verse McFlurry battle. I reckon Storms are officially the winner,' he said.
Russ' ice cream was loaded up with Nutella, and her gave the sweet treat a 10/10, comparing it to Dunkaroos and single Nutella servings often seen in school lunch boxes.
Nectro, known as NectoriousPapi on social media, also weighed in on the Nutella Storm. He said it tastes exactly as one would imagine — 'beautiful'.
'You can't go wrong,' he said.
But some social media users weren't impressed by the amount of Nutella they received when they ordered the new offering.
A woman, known as Wife of Lucifer on TikTok, took to the social media platform to say while she was excited to try the ice cream she felt ripped off by the amount of Nutella on it.
'Unpopular opinion by I actually prefer a Hungry Jack's soft serve to a Macca's soft serve,' she said, before digging in.
She pointed out while there was Nutella on the bottom of the soft serve there was a 'pitiful' amount on top.
'That crunch is amazing. You know what it's giving, guys? Ferrero Rocher. It's undoubtedly Nutella, because hazelnut, but that crunchy wafer is giving Ferrero Rocher,' she said.
Her verdict was that the new creation was 'delicious' but she wanted more Nutella.
Popular food content creator Ange Eats felt the same, saying there was 'hardly' any Nutella,
'What is going on? $6 for this,' he questioned.
He said it was 'what he was expecting' after digging into the ice cream, declaring it 'nice' but for the price he would have expected more Nutella. Ultimately, he said he was 'disappointed' with the much-hyped offering.
A spokesperson from Hungry Jack's said they are 'confident' everyone will love the new menu item.
'Let's be honest, who doesn't love Nutella? We've gone all out to create something truly special, and we're confident it'll have everyone going hazel-nuts for it', says Luke Pavan, Marketing Director for Hungry Jack's.
'We've taken that classic Nutella taste and swirled it into our smooth soft serve, combining that unmistakeable chocolate hazelnut goodness and a satisfying crunch.
'We're always listening to our customers, which is why we're thrilled that two iconic brands could come together to create such an irresistible product. We can't wait to hear what our customers think.'
