About a month ago, a facebook friend was gushing about how yummy Magnum was.
Unfortunately, my online buddy didn't bother to post a single picture of this
ohh-so-tasty Magnum. I never gave a thought about it, until my facebook/twitter
walls were flooded with testimonials about Magnum. An officemate offered that
Magnum was an alcoholic beverage; a champagne or wine or something bottled.
Well, as for me, the only Magnum that i am aware of is a type of gun. So how
could that be even ahmm...tasty? Until finally, when the commotion about Magnum
could no longer be contained, pictures of it were just about everywhere. And so,
I guess by now, we all know what Magnum is. An ice cream on a stick! Truly!
But that is not the myth I want to tell you about. I am aware that Magnum
has legions of diehards out there, and so before I start, I don’t mean to hurt
anyone’s feelings. And if you haven’t tried Magnum yet but are planning soon
with high expectations because of its superb marketing and advertising, my
apologies if I inadvertently happen to burst your bubble. But the hype about
Magnum went just a bit overboard. Sure,
its chocolate coating is ok, tastes exactly
like... well, any chocolate coating on any ice cream bar. Sadly, I didn't find
it exceptional. The plain vanilla ice cream inside the choco coat was indeed
smooth and creamy, but it was just that -- plain. Save for its consistency,
there was nothing else unforgettable about the vanilla ice cream inside. Magnum
actually reminds me of the good ole' Pinipig Crunch, although PC is more affordable without the unnecessary mega publicity... Ok, just to be a bit fair, Magnum doesn’t
melt fast. I was able to take pictures
while it was still inside its glorious
packaging. I snapped about ten shots from my camera phone until I got my
desired image. And guess what? The ice cream was still intact from its
chocolate coating; no spills, no drips, no drops...And that's about it folks, for i have just busted the Magnum myth. On a
final note however, seems that everyone is still raving about it, people are queuing in supermarkets
for their supply of Magnum, and just about everywhere, when you see someone licking on an ice cream stick, you can bet it's a Magnum... Oh well, maybe it’s just me. But at 50 php
per stick, I’m going to pass.
Wahaha, myth buster!! Magnum didn't pass my expectations but I wouldn't compare it to a PC, magnum is definitely better than that. Different people, different taste buds, what's yummy for me may not be for you, or vice versa so peace. ;)
ReplyDeletedifferent strokes for different follks hehe! Magnum is in a league of its own at 50php/pc, and so there could really be no valid comparison to the lowly PC at 20(?)php. but Magnum 'reminded' me of PC simply because they were both ice cream bars with chocolate coatings :>
ReplyDeleteYou're tagged! Go check my recent post for the details, enjoy! :)
ReplyDeletetama!I thank my friend for the treat. I save 50php for this. Hershey's DARK CHOCOLATE still the BEST..
ReplyDeletesige nga, ako naman ang ilibre mo ng Hershey's! yung na save mo na 50php, ibili natin ng Hershey's hahaha!

Hello Sherene!
DeleteThank you for dropping by... About Magnum, well, not many share my view that it isnt so yummy after all hehe! You might not agree with me too after tasting it yourself. If so, why not write about it and let us know what you think about Magnum. Is it really as tasty as advertised? :D
