Uber’s Latest Idea Is Brilliant – Make Yourself A Hero At Work With A Few Clicks

Sightings of ice-cream trucks in South Africa are few and far between, but it turns out there's a far easier way to treat yourself to some dairy delights.

Maybe because it isn’t the 1970s and we don’t live in suburban America? We joke, but we don’t see all that many and perhaps there’s a good reason why.

No matter what age in life, sometimes you just have to treat yourself to an ice cream – like when you make it through the week and you’re owning Friday like a boss.

Well done you, now it’s time for that treat we were talking about moments ago. You could go outside and listen for the ringing of the truck’s bell, you could run to the nearest store and grab one, or you could take the easy option like the adult you’ve shown yourself to be.

This Friday, July 15, Uber have teamed up with Magnum Ice Creams to celebrate Uber’s annual #UberIceCream Day.

Now Uber users can request delivery of delicious Magnum bars through the app to enjoy with friends.

Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and PE residents can select their ideal location to indulge together with Uber Ice Cream –whether a bustling office or cosily at home—users can have 4 Magnums delivered to their doorstep for R100.

How It Works:

  • Open the Uber app on Friday, July 15, between 11am and 3pm
  • Set your location.
  • To request, choose the Ice Cream option in the app by sliding on the right. If a vehicle is available, you’ll be enjoying your Magnum in minutes.
  • If connected, order away and your Magnum Ice Cream will be delivered.

Too easy, right? Get stuck in and treat your workmates or tjommies to a Friday Magnum. I’m not saying you need to bribe them, but of course it never hurts.
