Magnum P.I.

I recently learned that there are over twenty varieties of Magnum ice cream bars, sold here in New Zealand (and Australia) under the Streets brand. So far, I’ve spotted nine species of them in the wild: Classic, Almond, Ego Caramel, Peppermint, Ecuador Dark, White (why bother?), Colombian Aroma Choco-Cappuccino (wah?), Big Choc Bikkie (my favorite just for the name), and the new Magnum Sandwich. I’ve made it my personal mission to bag (or in this case, un-bag) one specimen of each before we head to the South Pacific. I will post my trophies as they are won.

Dude. I love the magnum...used to get them all the time as a kid in Israel (where they call it 'magnoom' :). Favorite is the vanilla that has little chocolate bits...mmm...magnoom!

They're in South Africa too! I ate a few when I was secretly five weeks pregnant with Ellicus. :) I found them delicious.

Damn! Why don't we have Magnum Bars in the states? Don't you also love the overly sexual ads, or are those just in Spain?

Haven't seen that one, but I did read about it my extensive online research. :) I think it was a flavor in the past, but alas, no more.
