Uber's free ice-cream sweetener fails, after users lose cool over lack of delivery

Taxi app firm offers delivery of ice-cream products in all 58 of its operating countries - but users are left annoyed at lack of availability

Taxi app firm Uber hasn't had the best of publicity recently, with cars burned out during protests against the company, anger over its extortionate surge pricing and one of its drivers attacking a passenger with a hammer.

Perhaps it make sense then, that Uber has decided to trundle out its ice cream delivery trick again. And rather than surge pricing for ice creams - the 4 Mr Whippys of last summer - this time they are free.
