HB has been announced as the official ice cream partner of the Pfizer Covid vaccine.
As part of the agreement vaccines will be transported in HB vans and will come with commemorative HB wrappers and little wooden sticks.
“Our products are ice cold, just like the vaccine, and have been since 1926” said a HB spokesperson.
We’re proud to do our bit for the health of the nation. Only one thing’s better than kicking Covid, and that’s kicking Covid whilst licking a delicious HB ice cream.”
Each patient will receive a HB ice cream with their jab. Medical card patients will be able to select from an Iceberger, Maxi Tub or Choc Ice. Private patients will have access to Soleros and, plan permitting, the full Magnum range.
HB refused to comment on rumours that Covid vaccines would be bundled with ice cream in supermarket freezer sections, but have confirmed a limited edition Covid Carte D’Or flavour.
“We’ve got some big plans for 2021 that’ll be a real jab in the arm of the ice cream industry,” said the spokesperson.
Pfizer management were unavailable for comment as they are understood to be trying to work their way through their massive hamper of Magnum tubs before they all melt.
