Split the G, Score Free Gelato: Gelatissimo’s Viral Challenge Lands This St Patrick’s Day

Eat / 12 March 2026

A sweet new social media challenge is hitting Gelatissimo stores nationwide, and nailing it could earn you a free scoop.

This St Patrick’s Day, Gelatissimo is putting a sugary twist on one of the internet’s most recognisable pub challenges. Inspired by the viral Guinness “Split the G” trend, the gelato favourite has launched the Split the G Wafer Challenge, inviting customers to test their precision, and score some free gelato along the way.

Running from March 17th–22nd, the challenge asks customers to snap Gelatissimo’s iconic G wafer perfectly down the middle in a single crack. Pull it off and post the moment to social media tagging @gelatissimogelato with #SplitTheGWafer, and you’ll earn a free scoop voucher loaded straight to your Club Gelato loyalty account. Miss the mark? Your attempt still goes in the draw to win a $500 VISA gift card, so even a spectacular fail could pay off.

Quick Bites

  • What to Eat: A scoop (or two) of creamy, Italian-style gelato, classics like pistachio or indulgent chocolate are always a safe bet.
  • What to Drink: Keep it simple with an espresso or affogato to balance out the sweetness.
  • When to Go: Anytime between March 17th–22nd while the challenge is running.
  • Cost: Every scoop comes with the free G wafer, making it the sweetest free challenge around.
  • Where to Play After: Grab your gelato and wander through your local shopping strip or park, perfect for a sunny afternoon stroll.
  • Vibe Check: Lighthearted dessert stop meets viral internet challenge.
