On June 19th, starting at 11 a.m., graduates in Lithuania are invited to participate in a special culinary event featuring Italian ice cream. In collaboration with local Italian ice cream parlors in Vilnius and Kaunas, attendees will have the opportunity to sample the best of Italian ice cream for free through a unique “Ice cream tips menu.”
This year’s offering presents a novel challenge, requiring participants to pair the sweet treat with unexpected savory additions, such as cucumber, potato, sausage, jalapeno, or pasta. The specialized menu includes five distinct flavors: “Bakala’s Wise Man’s spicy,” “Neighbor Kretina’s creatin,” “Cutlery Austėja’s tart,” “Vlogger Vidma vegetarian,” and “Paris Friends’ crunchy.”
Each menu item is symbolic, representing common pieces of advice that young people frequently receive when contemplating their professional or personal futures.
The campaign concept uses this creative framework to address the weight of external expectations. The five flavors act as edible metaphors for life advice—the “tips” received from mentors, family, or peers. The event encourages attendees to consider the impact of external counsel.
By integrating these diverse, sometimes unconventional, flavors into a familiar dessert, the initiative prompts reflection on how readily accepted advice shapes one’s path forward. The participation aims to engage graduates in a lighthearted yet thoughtful discussion about navigating personal decisions amid the input of others.
