Magnum

I only got to hear about Magnum from my friends. Some were raving and some were curious about it. That’s when I found out that local celebrities have been talking non-stop about Magnum. I guess it’s some kind of aggressive marketing from Selecta? I got curious too and finally on Sunday, I saw it being sold outside an SM Supermarket. I bought both Classic and Almond variants:

My verdict? The Classic one is just so-so for me. The coating is not too sweet but not something really special. The vanilla ice cream is just okay too. The Almond variant is a hands-down winner, though, and it is something I see myself buying again considering that both variants are priced the same. At P50 each, I find Magnum’s price a bit steep. I would rather buy a pint of ice cream (add a bit more money) and eat more ice cream. KWIM? There is another variant, Chocolate Truffle that I have yet to see. Maybe I will try that one too.
