If you know what a television is, then you’d know that this is Mr Bean’s girlfriend.

But if you live in an era whereby television belongs to the museum and the only Mr Bean you know is this…

Wait, what?

Since when did Mr Bean stead with Udder?

Well, not long ago. Since 8 March 2019, to be precise.

Mr Bean + Udders Ice Cream

Anyone who has a pink IC would know about these two local brands: one’s famous for its healthy soya bean drinks and have outlets in almost everywhere, and one’s an ice-cream brand that’s so local, I think it has served NS before.

The two brands swiped right on each other on 11 January 2019, when they first announced their partnership and soon launched a store in Sentosa.

But no one’s got time to get to Sentosa, right?

So, from 8 March 2019, Mr Bean officially announced the offspring product they’ve come out with Udders.

Known as the Dairy-Free Soy Ice Cream, it’s now available in places that sell Udders and selected Mr Bean outlets.

And the original flavour is the protagonist for this week’s #ThirstyThursday

First Look

Before anything, here are some wise words for the Instagram-siao-human-beings: it really does look adorable from the outside.

Though you’ve got to admit that anything with the Mr Bean mascot would win Instagrammers’ heart.

At a promotional price of $10 for 3 now (originally is $3.80 per small pint), it’s certainly priced higher than the usual Mr Bean ice-cream we have.

So is it just the usual Mr Bean ice-cream being squeezed into a small pint?

Taste Test

Unfortunately or fortunately, yes.

If you’ve had Mr Bean soya ice-cream in their outlets before, you’ll know how it tastes like. The soft-serve colour, texture and everything is almost the same: the only difference is that you can’t choose between cup or cone.

Now, considering that each ice-cream is less than $2 in a Mr Bean outlet, it sure is much more expensive.

To me, this feels just like a collaboration for the two local brands to tap on each other’s customer base: not bad an idea, but nothing new for consumers like me.

Though I’ve got to admit that it has worked: before this, I didn’t know much about Udders and have always been a Ben & Jerry’s fan. Now I’m looking forward to trying Udders.

So, overall, is it worth a try?

Unless you’re a fan of Mr Bean soya ice-cream, you’ll feel that it’s weird having “milk ice-cream”.

But if you’ve been having Mr Bean soya ice-cream and love it, it’s a convenience way to stock up on them.
