'You made my mum eat poo.'

http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/human-excrement-found-in-free-gelato/2008/10/25/1224351608023.html

A FAMILY is planning legal action against one of Sydney's best- known pubs after being served food that allegedly contained human excrement.

Stephen and Jessica Whyte and their three sons were served complimentary gelato dessert by Coogee Bay Hotel staff three weeks ago after complaining about food prices, facilities and staff attitude.

After eating the dessert Mrs Whyte became violently ill. A heated argument erupted with staff over the contents of the bowl. Distraught, the family took a sample of the gelato and had it tested at the National Measurement Institute. A report from the institute found: "The sample has an offensive odour and physical properties similar to human excreta."

Last week the Whytes spoke to Coogee Bay Hotel owner Christopher Cheung. "His view was that we were in this for money. He tried to buy us off with $5000 which, for me, was the final straw," Mr Whyte said.

"I said: 'I think you're missing the point here. My wife and children sat down in your pub and were served a bowl of free ice-cream containing faeces.'"

The Coogee Bay Hotel re-opened its doors over the October long weekend following a multi-million-dollar refurbishment of its beer garden, beach bar and brasserie, hoping to shake its boozy backpacker image.

Mrs Whyte said her "footy mad family" went to the pub on October 5 to watch the NRL grand final. They allege they complained three times to brasserie staff before the sound on the television screen was turned up. When the children wanted ice-cream, the family was told an adult serve cost $19. Mr Whyte vented his anger before leaving the pub in search of cheaper ice-cream.

"Later, this huge bowl of ice-cream arrived at our table as a 'sorry for all the hassle'," Mrs Whyte said. "There were four scoops including vanilla, chocolate and hazelnut. At the bottom, there appeared to be chocolate. Greedily, I went for it ahead of the kids. Thank heavens I did. The stench, the taste … I spat the food into a napkin and immediately I was sick.

"There was no doubting what it was. The whole family became hysterical. My poor son screamed at one of their staff: 'You made my mum eat poo."' The family complained to Waverley police.

In a letter to the family, hotel general manager Tony Williams said: "If the incident did happen, as claimed, then it may well have been an act of industrial sabotage — with the hotel as a victim alongside your family." But yesterday Mr Williams said the case was now a legal issue that would be "vigorously defended".

"We are aware of the allegation and are treating it as extremely suspicious. Mr and Mrs Whyte have made a demand for up to $1 million from The Coogee Bay Hotel … We categorically stand behind the high quality of our food and the exemplary hygiene standards set in the new brassiere kitchen."

Mrs Whyte said:"This isn't about money. It's about making sure it never happens again."

haha pwned

lol there's kinda nothing to add tbh

Hang on, $19 for a fecking ice cream?

1 Australian dollar = 0.390991673 British pounds

no this is $19 for ice cream PLUS poop

don't shout, sir, or everyone will want one

$19 is still outlandish for an ice cream. For that money you'd want the chef to-- oh wait.

£7.41

This is why you don't ever go to Coogee.

after complaining about food prices, facilities and staff attitude.

haha was there anything left to complain about? i hate complainers in restaurant, sure it's your hard earned money etc. etc. but you could just leave and never come back again.

Complaining about prices to the staff means you deserve to eat shit. Because you are a cunt.

also in the beginning it says "After eating the dessert Mrs Whyte became violently ill"

and halfway "Thank heavens I did. The stench, the taste … I spat the food into a napkin and immediately I was sick." So this would be like the first spoon right? I wonder if one would really get violently ill after eating 1 spoon of poo. You probably immediately notice there's something rotten, spit it out and.. ok then the idea gets to you ;)

xpost yeah they look like cunts in that photo too.

OTFM

come to congee

act like a dick

eat poo

win a million bucks

where do i sign up

It may have won the Australian Hotels Association's hotel of the year award in 2005 and 2006, but yesterday the sprawling beachside pub - in the suburb local Aborigines knew as Koojah, meaning "stinking place" - was fighting for its reputation.

lol

dudes, if it smelled like poo why would you even think about tasting it?

Mrs Whyte said her "footy mad family" went to the pub on October 5 to watch the NRL grand final. They allege they complained three times to brasserie staff before the sound on the television screen was turned up.

fuck you if you're so fucking keen to watch the fucking football then watch it at your own fucking house.

While this is a hilariously disgusting thing, if true, I bet any money the family were OBNOXIOUS beyond measure.

the hotel countered with a free ice cream day yesterday, FYI.

lol this place is just down the road from me. never eaten there though because the food's shit lolol.

free ice cream

I have seen the Sex Pistols, Ice Cube, Ned’s Atomic Dustbin and Porno For Pyros play at this pub. (Not at the same time.)

Did Chocolate Starfish ever play there?

Probably refused entry on the grounds of lead singer dude's haircut being "a bit fucken poofy." Perhaps he's the chef now, exacting that industrial sabotage the manager talked about.

yeah they look like cunts in that photo too.

lol that is so true, looking at them completely changes the way the story comes across.

She sounded like a cunt when talking on the television news too.

OH MY GOD they're using the "Kevin Bacon Defense" apparently.

http://www.theage.com.au/national/did-kevin-bacon-put-the-faeces-in-the-icecream-20081027-5961.html

My question is: 'Did Kevin Bacon put the faeces in the ice-cream?'

totally looks like a dude that would shit in your dessert

ahahaha 'you made my mum eat poo'! The Whyte family will never live that one down I bet. I thought the whole story was very entertaining.

I'd eat pretty much anything for a million dollars

A bloke at my work said exactly that. After explaining the mechanics he said, 'oh, it's a bit feral, isn't it?'

These people don't sound terribly pleasant. Not that I support shitting in their food.

My question is: 'Did Kevin Faeces put the ice-cream in the bacon?'

A forum my bf is on started a "how much would you need to be paid to eat shit?" thread yesterday.

http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/its-true-the-gelatos-poo/2008/10/29/1224956093714.html

The NSW Food Authority...will now perform a more detailed DNA-based test that will determine if the faecal matter is animal or human, and the sex of the "provider".

Well at least it's a new idea for the "bush tucker trial" on Ant & Dec's "I'm A Celebrity".

wait so did they eat the vanilla (real)chocolate and hazelnut or did mum jump dive straight to the bottom (lol!) for the poo?

and also does that mean they chilled the poo also before serving it? cos like the fact that it's not cold or melting surely.. and the fact that it smelled like poo??

So apparently the father now was that one that shitted in the ice cream. Thoughts?

awesome

Lifted from a "Jackass" episode.

I reckon it's all a set up for someone to say they were inspired by 2 girls 1 cup and provide the incentive to go ahead with censoring the internet.

lol

oh god i went there like a million times in the 90s

saw nirvana there

if i had known it was that kind of party..

Hey, I actually consult the National Measurement Institute on their travel needs. No shit.

This headline still cracks me up

“You Made My Mum Eat Poo”: The Coogee Bay Poo Mystery, 10 Years On

We regret to advise that the Coogee Bay Poo Bandit remains at large.

I was about to post 'wow this shit was 10 years ago' but then thought better of it.

Anyway, they were simpler times.

i’m staying there week after next.

'made'

You can sing "you made my mum eat poo" to the tune of The Cure's 'Why Can't I Be You?'.
"made me made me made me made me hungry for poo"
(I was going to post a YouTube embed of the video, but it features one of the band in blackface, jfc)

I will make sure i do this as a tenth anniversary special. i will not be ordering the ice cream.

haha pwned

^^^ oddly appropriate display name

i’m staying there week after next.

Sorry to inform you that in the last few years it has plummeted to only being the fourth-most-violent pub in Sydney, in case you want to change your booking.

wow, i did not know that. i stay in coogee whenever i go to sydney, mainly because i like to swim in the morning and evening if i can. i've usually airbnb'd it, but work are being inexplicably awkward about that. i've never noticed any particular violence. thanks for the heads up.

i mean i have drunk there. i didn't seem anything out of the ordinary.

I could swear it'd turned out they had self sabotaged the dessert for money. I guess not?

btw i’m here and haven’t ordered the (free) poo ice cream or got in a fight yet. the hotel is like where failure goes to die but does have a fantastic in-room entertainment system:

fuckit

honestly if i'd delivered "the plop thickens" as a headline i'd retire there and then, work done, life best attained

I bet the hotel ran it's booking system on a Dick Smith Wizard.
