Yesterday was a beautiful day that Ross and I both fortunately had off! We decided to balance some work and fun by choosing some activities we each wanted to do, plus things we both wanted to do. Long walk on the beach (me), lunch at TacoLu (both), watching StarTrek episodes (Ross), shopping (me), and a pizza from Mellow Mushroom (both – we compromised on the pizza). Also, I feel compelled to note that if any of you have significant others who like Star Trek, never, ever, ever call Star Trek Star Wars. oops. You’d think I called him a dirty word.
We ended the evening with a new product, Magnum Ice Cream, that I was able to try courtesy of the Foodbuzz Tastemaker’s Program.
The letter said I’d receive two coupons, but I only got one, so I used it on their Double Chocolate (if you know me, this was the obvious choice). So just note my review is based solely on sampling this one product – I don’t know how others compare.
Magnum makes, essentially, glorified ice cream bars. After looking on their website, I kept seeing taglines like "Discover our many pleasures", "the international ice cream for pleasure seekers" and "pleasure is hers for the taking". Seriously? Ok, the name Magnum alone, first of all, well let’s just say when I showed my husband the coupon, when he saw "Magnum" the last thing he thought was ice cream. Then with lines about discovering pleasure, it’s yours for the taking…come on, I can’t be the only person to think it’s funny!
Anyway – here’s the ice cream bar in all it’s glory. There are three bars in a package, and the bars seem pretty substantial in size (I don’t know the last time I bought an ice cream bar, so I really don’t know how the size compares to a "normal" ice cream bar. I’m guessing since it’s magnum it’s bigger? that’s what she said.)
Here’s a pic inside – creamy chocolate ice cream with a thin dark chocolate coating, a chocolate sauce layer, and a milk chocolate exterior. All Belgian chocolate.
Nutrition facts – a bit rich!
Fun little guarantee – this made me like the company a little more.
So overall, my thoughts? Eh. I mean, it was tasty, but for the amount of sugar and calories in there, it should be! Truly though, I really wasn’t amazed. It could have been my perception, but I felt hyped up about this product, that it was the epitome of ice cream decadence. Everything was glorified – the company, their commercials, their product. To be honest, I won’t be buying it again. I don’t normally buy products like this, but occasionally I do like to splurge. I just really don’t think these ice cream bars are worth the splurge.
Stay tuned later today for a SUPER fun announcement about the future of Sound Eats!
I thought the name was hilarious too!
Sad you didn’t love it! I really do LOVE them! They remind me of being in Italy on summer project again. I’ve only had the almond chocolate ones and it compares to the Disney mickey ears ice cream bars, which are the best. They are pretty decadent, but I can easily eat half and save the rest for dessert the next night, which I’ve done.
I got to agree, I believe it was over hyped. I have had the original belgium chocolate, (which is the lightest of all of them), and the double carmel.. I thought I’d love the double carmel but found it to be too rich.. I think it would be better if they made these three good sized ice cream bars into six smaller ones and cut the price down to at least $3, if not $2.50, I think $4 is rediculous.. I also know dove has ice cream bars now. I can’t wait to try those and compare. I will let you know.
oh yeah, and that name, it makes me feel gross when I buy them! they need to change it!
They are seriously delicious I can’t believe you don’t like them, I tried the original and double caramel !!!!!!! They are both awesome!!! But if I had Yo choose I’d have to go original!!!!
I felt weird buying these because of the name and i bought it as a joke to my fiancee but they are average. Buy hagen daz. It’s cheaper and tastes better. Plus i don’t think of condoms for horse like men when i buy them. I guess sex sold the first batch for me but only because i thought it was funny. They should have just called these porno creamy bars. The commercials are also silly.
I did the double carmel and have been looking for it again in all of the stores we have. No double carmel. Where can I find the bars. Not
Safeway, not Raleys, not Savemart. Help before I expire from lack of Magnum double carmel bars.
I live in Arizona and found them at fresh and easy. It’s a healthy food store.
while the bar is good (not as good as Dove) getting only 3 in a pack is bad marketing and merchandising. My husband and I would like to share the pack and one of us has to sacrifice or split it in half. we would not buy these again. bad marketing and merchandising on this product. odd numbers only work well in art – not food.
