Have they changed Feast Ice Creams?

I could have sworn the ice cream in a Feast was Chocolate not Vanilla

How does mumsnet know I was looking for an ice cream maker? I was looking at Ice Cream Makers on Amazon. Now I am getting ads for Ice Cream Makers.

I can recommend the Ninja Creami

Never forgave them when they discontinued the mint feasts

Me neither. Haven’t had one since. Every so often i’ll catch myself checking in the freezer at the supermarket or newsagent on the off chance the mint ones have come back, but decades later (it must be about 30 years since the mint ones went away) it still hasn’t happened

Yes, worst surprise I’ve ever had 🤬

Oh you’ve got to be kidding me!? I was only talking about these recently. I used to love a feast as a kid. I now feel cheated that I didn’t get to have one before the recipe changed! 😭

Aldi fake feasts are the closest to the original. Definitely try them

I've just inadvertently eaten a caramel feast, completely tasteless waste of calories! Must have picked up the wrong box by accident but if the proper ones aren't as good I won't bother.
I'll try the Aldi ones, I have confidence that they'll be good as their fake soleros are brilliant!

I did the same as you and nearly cried how shit it was <dramatic>

Yep, I blindly grabbed the blue box the other week without really looking and was genuinely disappointed when I sat down to enjoy a treat which I'd not had for years. With the rampant enshittification everywhere I expected them to be smaller (tick) but I certainly wasn't expecting the tasteless white ice cream (no discernible vanilla) nor the nasty smear of oily hazelnut don't know what in the centre instead of the solid chocolate block of old.

In fact, I almost started a thread in AIBU titled '... to cry about the new Feasts' but felt too embarrassed to do so - 1st world problems etc - but it was true, I'd had a bad day and then finding yet another intelligence insulting 'new recipe' (when we all know its to sell a lesser quality item for the same price) did indeed prompt a tear or two of frustration!

On the bright side, my indignation had me Googling and I found that Aldi do a very acceptable version of the 'old' Feast, think it's called Festival, which has chocolate ice cream and a solid choc block centre and they're actually very nice.

Same here. Grabbed a box not realising it wasn’t the Feast original. Bloody horrible - I actually threw them away after the first one (and I’m a chocoholic and will eat almost anything - so that’s really saying how bad they were).

ALL our food seems to be on the decline.

The Aldi Fiesta are vastly superior (and cheaper)

WHAT?!!!! Feasts were my favourite ice-cream! I can't believe the bastards have done that!!

They have literally ruined everything!

Northernshepherd · 03/08/2026 21:43

Does aldi do a mint version perchance?

lunar1 · 03/08/2026 21:48

They ruined core childhood memories with this travesty

Agree with Aldi fiesta. Proper solid chocolate in the middle

I bought some from Aldi recently, expecting the solid chocolate but it was gooey not solid. Very disappointing.

Me too! I’m really annoyed about it, even now.

GingerAndTheBiscuits · 03/08/2026 22:13

They are utterly atrocious now.

Oh, no. I was going to try and get some tomorrow. What a disaster.

Aldi Fiestas are much better

Came here to say this!

I have just eaten another fake feast in the name of research purposes and the middle was solid chocolate

winkywanky · 03/08/2026 22:43

Asda used to do some which were really nice. No idea if they do still make them though?

FrangipaniBlue · 03/08/2026 23:40

I bought one a few weeks back and spent the entire time thinking I had lost the plot and misremembered them being chocolate.

i must’ve ranted about it long and hard because the next day DH sent me a video of a guy losing his shit about the change with the message “this was you last night” 😂
