ICE cream lovers flocked to Asda in Metz Way yesterday to cash-in on The Citizen's offer of a free tub of ice cream knocked up by TV chef Heston Blumenthal.
The tasty treat was a result of his record-breaking efforts to make the world's biggest ice cream.
His four-metre cone was topped with a ton of delicious whip frozen at Wall's in Barnwood.
Kay Hansford, customer service manager at Asda, said the public response was huge after the stunt was shown on Channel 4 this week.
"We had completely sold out and got rid of all the tubs of ice cream by 2.30pm," she said.
"The only problem was dealing with disappointed customers who turned up when we had sold out."
