Happy Pops' Fifth Birthday

Overview

You mightn't remember turning five, or what kind of celebrations followed. You probably can't recall what you ate to mark the occasion, either. Hopefully it involved ice cream. All birthdays are better with ice cream. Here's one shindig that will: Happy Pops commemorating five years since starting to sling frosty desserts.

First launching in Noosa, then expanding to Brisbane, this chain is getting into the fifth-birthday spirit by doing $5 ice creams. Just head on in from Tuesday, May 9–Saturday, May 13 — and to any store, including South Bank in Brissie, the OG Noosa Heads digs, and also Eumundi and Mooloolaba.

For those new to the Happy Pops experience, it's all about artisanal gelato on a stick, using all-natural, preservative-free Australian ingredients. Think Maleny milk, real vanilla, Belgian chocolate and actual fruit pieces. It also serves up vegan options, using soy, rice and coconut milk, which is good news for folks who don't consume animal products but still love a frosty treat.

And, you can create your own flavours — which is also included in the $5 birthday special.
