There is something particularly nostalgic and heartwarming about seeing an old-school ice cream cart parked at a petrol station, offering free scoops to passersby. It reminds one of simpler times, cheerful neighbourhood moments, and the joy of a cold treat on a hot day. This time around, Shell Singapore is tapping right into that cheerful sentiment with an engaging and refreshing promotion – the Shell V-Power Ice Cream Rewards Cart.
In celebration of SG60 and the premium Shell V-Power fuel, Shell is bringing a little extra sweetness to everyday journeys. This isn’t just another fuel-related reward – this is a chance to enjoy something as local and delightful as a traditional ice cream treat, complete with community charm and added bonuses.
What’s happening? It’s simple yet wonderfully effective. The Shell V-Power Ice Cream Rewards Cart will be popping up at various Shell stations across Singapore, giving free ice cream to Shell V-Power customers. Those who aren’t fuelling up with V-Power aren’t left out – they can still enjoy a scoop for just $1. It’s an accessible treat that welcomes everyone.
But it doesn’t stop at just a sweet scoop. Shell has decided to make the experience even more rewarding. Customers who take a photo with the iconic ice cream uncle (yes, they have brought in a nostalgic figure for this campaign) and post it on social media with the appropriate tags will receive $15 worth of Shell V-Power discount e-vouchers. The steps are straightforward:
-
Snap a fun photo at the Shell station with the ice cream uncle.
-
Post it on your Facebook or Instagram feed.
-
Tag @ShellSingapore and include the hashtags #ShellSG and #ILoveShellVPower.
-
Show your post to the Shell staff on-site to receive your e-voucher reward.
It’s interactive, light-hearted, and offers real value – a rare combination in today’s promotional landscape.
So, why should anyone make time for this?
Firstly, it’s a uniquely Singaporean experience. There’s a joy in seeing brands bring back old-school concepts like the mobile ice cream cart – especially with a modern twist. It’s more than a promotional gimmick. It connects to something deeper: nostalgia, familiarity, and a sense of community engagement.
Secondly, the value on offer is tangible. Shell V-Power customers already benefit from using a premium fuel designed to enhance engine performance and longevity. Adding free ice cream to the mix feels like a pleasant surprise. For everyone else, spending just $1 for an ice cream – and the chance to walk away with $15 in vouchers – is certainly worth a stop.
Thirdly, the activity encourages interaction and participation. Rather than a passive promotion, Shell has designed this to be something experiential. One gets to be part of something cheerful and share it online, while also saving on future purchases. It’s a clever way to encourage word-of-mouth marketing while also rewarding loyalty.
And let’s not forget – Singapore’s weather makes ice cream one of the most welcome treats year-round. Whether heading home from work, out for errands, or on a weekend drive, knowing there’s a scoop waiting at your next Shell stop is reason enough to make a detour.
For families, this can even become a quick bonding activity. Picture this: a short stop at the Shell station turns into a cheerful photo session with the kids and the iconic ice cream uncle, followed by free or budget-friendly ice cream. Add to that a voucher for the next fuel-up, and suddenly, an ordinary day feels a little more celebratory.
For drivers who are frequent users of Shell stations, particularly those who use V-Power, this is also a gesture of appreciation. It’s a brand recognising their loyalty not with points or email newsletters, but with something that makes people smile on the spot.
This kind of reward – a surprise and delight moment – often lingers in a customer’s memory far more than traditional discounts or loyalty cards. And that’s part of the genius of this campaign. By blending local culture, social interaction, and tangible rewards, Shell has created an engaging campaign that feels authentic and enjoyable.
For those wondering when and where to catch this cheerful cart, Shell encourages everyone to keep an eye on their social media or refer directly to the promotion page for location updates: https://go.shell.com/4oatz1b. Since the cart will be travelling across the island, chances are high it will be stopping by a neighbourhood Shell station near many.
So, instead of waiting for a massive sale or holiday giveaway, Singaporeans now have a reason to get rewarded with something sweet right in their own backyard – and it doesn’t require spending beyond regular fuel purchases.
It’s light-hearted, it’s rewarding, and it brings the community together in small but joyful ways.
Make sure to follow Shell’s official social media to catch the cart when it’s nearby. If not for the fuel savings, then at least for the scoop of old-school ice cream and the chance to feel like a kid again – even if just for a moment.
