Magnum Store

Vanilla ice cream covered in milk chocolate and all sorts of other treats gets a two star I hear you say?
Well let me break it down for ya!
It’s totally over priced for what it’s offering and bare in mind this is coming from a girl who pays roughly £16 for just one cocktail. Yes I am not a cheap skate I am just saying that I could have done what they did to my magnum at home! It would’ve been better and then my feet wouldn’t have felt like I’d marched across the Atlantic from all that standing… Talk about busted toes… anyways At £4.50 it’s not worth it. even if it has cinnamon sugar sprinkled on it! *walks off in a huff*

I love magnums.
I’d replace my arms with magnums if I could still type reviews.
I normally pay £4.50 for the box of three, so when I heard they were selling one at that very same price, i spent 20 minutes in a queue trying to get my long manicured fingers on one, assuming they’d be somewhat magical.
They were not, yes they dip it in your chosen chocolate in front of you but so what? I’ve got a fondue set at home, I know how to dip too buddy! If I got to dip it myself or perhaps double dip, maybe then I’d be impressed. It’s either white or milk chocolate, so no new flavours there.
I hoped the toppings would launch me into a state of delirium.
They did not.
A few crushed nuts, sprinkles, chocolate buttons. .., things you tend to get at a child’s birthday.
I get that it’s kid friendly but a few exotic topping wouldn’t kill nobady.. , (please read the ‘nobady’ exactly like that, it adds to the review)
Overall, it’s not worth the price at all, could easily be done at home. But if you’re out and about and craving a magnum, see it at 75% VAT.

We don’t sell Magnums in America, so you must understand my dismay when I have to clamber back onto that plane to go back to the ice cream void in the states, so when I was wandering through the Olympic Park and found a Magnum store I nearly sprinted toward it. They only have a few of these stores and they pop up occasionally. The store is only in the park for 7 weeks, so if you’re in London TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS SITUATION. It’s £3 for a Magnum with 3 toppings. Essentially it’s an ice cream lovers haven. For my Americans who don’t know what a Magnum is, I’m not talking about the gun, I’m talking about something significantly better than the gun. It’s a ice cream bar with a thick layer of chocolate, it’s the ice cream that God (or gods depending on your religious affiliation) eats. So, at this store you can customize your own Magnum. Yeah… heaven.
With a flurry of toppings from traditional ones such as white chocolate, hazelnuts, almonds, chocolate sprinkles, to a bit obscure ones such as Goji Berries, Chili peppers and Rose petals you choose three toppings, they shake it up. You choose your chocolate dip: white, dark, or milk, and they sprinkle your toppings on drizzle it in more chocolate and then a chocolate Magnum button to finalize the whole bar. I could barely wait the 1 minute they asked to let the chocolate harden. I wanted to face plant in my divine concoction: my choice was a vanilla ice cream bar, dipped in milk chocolate, sprinkled with rose petals, hazelnuts, and white chocolate, drizzled with white chocolate. Try it, it was amazing.
This store was such a good idea. I can’t tell if I’m happy it’s not in Atlanta or else I would eat my way into certain heart disease and diabetic shock. If you’re in London, you don’t even have to splurge, it’s only £3 for what I got. Enjoy yourself, and treat yourself. The only problem is that the line will probably be excessively long but still… to me, it’s worth the wait.
