The first time I went to the 711 store near our office to buy Magnum, this is what I found:
This made me want Magnum even more! I just had to try it! Rawr! The following day, I went back to the store with my fingers crossed. Lo and behold...
The Chocolate Truffle was the only flavor available. Nevertheless, I was happy because I knew that even if there were other flavors available, I would have chosen the Chocolate Truffle, anyway. I bought it for P55. A little pricey, I think, because five Magnum would already cost as much as a half gallon of ice cream. But for the experience and to appease my curiosity, I bought one. This better be good, I said to myself.
One bite and I knew why most of my friends love it. The chocolate truffle was soooo chocolatey it was a real treat for chocolate lovers like me. Imagine this... chocolate truffle in creamy chocolate-flavored ice cream covered with thick Belgian Chocolate. There, in one paragraph, I just used the word "chocolate" more than five times! Yup, real chocolatey goodness in that one Magnum bar! :)
My first Magnum experience was great so I wanted to try the other flavors as well. This was what I bought next:
Magnum Classic, to me, was not as adventurous as the Chocolate Truffle. I felt it was more on the "safe" side given that it only offered thick vanilla bar covered in Belgian Chocolate. Although more basic compared to the truffle, I still enjoyed my Magnum Classic nonetheless. In fact, some of my friends even prefer this over the Chocolate Truffle as they found the latter too sweet.
Moving forward, I found out that there were other Magnum variants and I wanted to try 'em all! Last weekend, Hubby and I went "supermarket-hopping" to look for Magnum. Our kids wanted to try the product but most stores had no stock. We found this in Mini Stop (Meycauayan).
Magnum Almond was like Magnum Classic with a twist... thick vanilla bar covered with Belgian chocolate... and almonds! Oh, the chunky almond pieces truly gave the bar a crunchy twist!I liked all three flavors but if I were to choose which I liked best, I think it would be Magnum Almond. Why? Because it gave me a little bit of everything... thick vanilla, creamy Belgian chocolate and almonds!
Hubby and Son #1 agree with me. Son # 2, on the other hand, loves Chocolate Truffle.
Well, I think our family just started a sinful love affair with Magnum. My calorie counting was put on hold because of this. Haha! :P
I tried the almond and I love it. Yun lang ang mahal, next time I'll try the other flavors
ReplyDeleteI agree, medyo pricey. Ramdam ko lalo na when I buy for me and my boys (I have three boys). I have to spend P250 to get 1 bar for each of us. Parang half gallon na ng ice cream! :) Pero in fairness to the product, masarap talaga. :)
ReplyDeleteI also prefer Magnum Almond. haven't tried the chocolate truffle but will soon.
ReplyDeleteActually mga sis, Magnum is cheaper here compared to other countries. I remember in Istanbul, Magnum was like 3 times more expensive than its price here in Manila.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gwen, for visiting my blog! :)
ReplyDeleteReally? I feel less guilty now that I learned that Magnum is actually cheaper here in the Philippines. Haha. Thank you for visiting my blog! :)
ReplyDeleteI have tried Magnum Truffle and it is super sweet! Haha. Perfect for depressed people who needs endorphins boost! ☺
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried Magnum Chocolate Truffle yet, but I think I won't like it that much since I find the Classic too sweet already. So what more for a pure chocolate ice cream bar.. XD I love Magnum Almond though. It has just the right amount of sweetness, and the almond bits are lovely! :D
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried the truffle. Pero the classic and the almond flavors were okay although a little pricey.
