'Tis the season for summer foods and refreshments.
And that includes, of course, delicious ice-cream.
Chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry are among the more popular flavours on offer - but one parlour with outlets in Sligo and Mayo has gotten rather more adventurous.
Step forward
Gelati (it operates in Enniscrone, Co Sligo and Ballina, Co Mayo ); earlier this month it announced that not only is it stocking ketchup ice-cream, but that it's giving away cones for free too.
Yes, in honour of Ed Sheeran's Ireland tour (
Ed is a massive Heinz ketchup fan),
Gelati has confirmed that all "fans who produce a ticket for his upcoming gigs" will get a free Heinz cone.
Delicious? Well, own Michael O’Dowd assures perspective-customers that it really is "lovely" and tastes a bit like a Bloody Mary.
In terms of appearance, it's pale red looking and comes with a drizzle of ketchup on top.
Irrespective of the taste, however, the flavour has now garnered a bit of international attention - with plenty of folk in the UK and US eager to try it out. A couple of videos have furthermore collectively notched up millions of views.
Ed Sheeran kicks off the first of his nine-date Irish tour at Pairc Uí Chaoimh in Cork on Friday... let's hope he pops into
Gelati too.
