NEWS : Blue Monday - FREE ice cream if you wear your jammies to Jannettas

Fife gelateria, Jannettas, is celebrating that latest research has shown us how to combat Blue Monday: ice cream for breakfast.

The third Monday of January (Monday 20th January) has been coined as the most miserable day of the year and named Blue Monday.  According to Japanese research, a study by Yoshihiko Koga, a professor at Kyorin University in Tokyo, a scoop of ice cream for breakfast alters your levels of alertness and gives you a mental boost.

Drawing on this research, owners of the famous four-generation St Andrews gelateria, Nicola and Owen Hazel will be giving away a free ice cream from 9am until 11am for everyone who shows up in the pyjamas on Monday 20th January. From classics like Chocolate or Vanilla, to Orange & Mascarpone, Jannettas will have a range of 54 flavours on offer for customers to choose from.  As Burns Night is just around the corner, Jannettas will introduce their limited-edition flavours including Haggis, Whisky and even Irn Bru Sorbet.

 Nicola Hazel said: “Whether ice cream is actually magic or it’s the properties of the good stuff that reduces stress, increases positive emotions and therefore gives out a release of energy; ice cream for breakfast is always a good idea and when it’s free it’s even better! I can’t think of a better way to fend off the January blues.”
