Snapchat Is Shouting You And Your Best Mate Gelato Messina This Mates Day on May 8

Are you ready to celebrate the most epic mateship of all time? Well, grab your phones and your bestie, because Snapchat is teaming up with Gelato Messina to make May 8th — or Mates Day — the sweetest day of the year.

Snapchat, which faithfully reminds me of my bestie’s birthday year after year, knows that true friendship is about the everyday moments, the laughs, the inside jokes — and the shared experiences. What better way to commemorate that kind of relationship than with something equally beautiful (free gelato)?

Teaming up with Gelato Messina, Snapchat is bringing us an exclusive "Oh Snap!" limited edition flavour — inspired by the classic vanilla slice. The gelato features a heavenly symphony of creamy vanilla custard, zesty passion-fruit puree — and caramelised buttery puff pastry pieces to truly pay homage to the legendary Aussie bakery treat.
