In 2008, the Whyte household headed to the Coogee Bay Lodge to watch a sport of footy. Little did they know they would become the centre of country-broad focus following a bowl of gelato they have been served had allegedly been spiked with poo. Literal poo.

The story goes like this. The Whyte loved ones complained to management on the working day about a thing – reviews range, some shops reported they complained about the sounds amounts (they couldn’t hear the footy recreation), some mentioned it was about provider, some stated it was about the selling prices of food stuff at the location. Whichever the situation, all stories agree that the Whytes ended up then presented complimentary gelato by the hotel in reaction to the grievance.

Jessica Whyte spoke to SMH in 2008, describing what took place future.

“There were 4 scoops which include vanilla, chocolate and hazelnut. At the bottom, there appeared to be chocolate. Greedily, I went for it in advance of the kids. Thank heavens I did. The stench, the flavor … I spat the food into a serviette and quickly I was ill.”
