Not bull but I miss them too. They can't resist a data collection exercise. I also remember the Paddlepop lick-a-prize competition. No get online code shit, just lick and go claim the instant win from the milk bar.

That's what these instant win ones are too. You don't need to scan them in to claim them you just hand them over. You can also win food prizes in the app from Chance games etc but you don't need to scan the instant win peely tickets into the app unless you want to go into the second chance draw.

But I do agree that I miss the sticker ones where you would stick them onto the monopoly placemat sheet thing to track what you have. I suspect you can't actually get the rare properties via stickers so they can control the distribution of them digitally rather than have some unused coffee cup sitting with a major prize ticket in a cupboard somewhere.

As for why it tasted nicer, I understand the whole because it was free thing but it wasn't that. The ice cream was just extra cold last night, the machine was dialled in just how I like my soft serve. The soft of cold where it has a bit of resistance to it rather than being soft creamy and melty.
