Hungry Jack's Frozen Keri Orange & Mango Spider

The Frozen Keri Orange & Mango Spider is $5.40 and 674 kJ, the lightest of the five Spiders on the Hungry Jack's menu.

The interesting thing here is that the energy figure is identical to the plain Frozen Keri Orange & Mango at 674 kJ. Every other Spider adds several hundred kilojoules over its base drink; this one does not, which suggests the soft serve portion is smaller against the thicker fruit base.

Fruit and vanilla is a natural pairing and it needs no explaining. Mango with cream is a dessert in a dozen cuisines, and putting soft serve into a mango and orange base gives something closer to a mango lassi or an orange creamsicle than to a milk bar spider.

Because the base is not carbonated, this Spider behaves differently from the others. There is no foam reaction, so the ice cream sits and melts rather than fizzing. That makes it smoother and less dramatic, which suits the flavour.

Carbs are 39.2g and sugar 35.7g, both matching the plain version exactly.

Who it suits: anyone who wants the lightest Spider, anyone who prefers fruit to confectionery flavours, and anyone eating it as breakfast, which it genuinely suits.

Compare against the Cream & Lemon Spider at $5.40.
