Magnum Memories

I'd never heard of Magnum bars before I went to China, but they quickly became my favorite treat.


One of my favorite ways to spend an weeknight evening was meeting up with R., J. and V. for dinner in R.'s neighborhood, then walking off dinner before crashing at a beer garden for some late night laughs. I spent more than one night searching for Magnums at every little ice cream seller we came across; more often than not, no Magnums, so when we DID find them, that made the evening all the better. I "mmmm"-ed all over the place.

So of course when I saw Magnums in my local grocery several weeks ago, I excitedly took a phone pic to send to R: Magnums! In the U.S.! Worlds collide!

In my humble ice cream opinion, they are better than Haagen Daz bars. I recommend the coffee ones, if you can find them.

I have never had a Magnum. Ice cream that is. Do you know Magnum is also a lubricated condom manfacturer. So when I first saw Magnum ice cream a few days ago I thought marketing fucked up. Or not!

I DID know. I believe the ice cream company is Belgian, but I have no idea which came first: the condom or the ice cream.

Try the ice cream, it's really good.

Oh the white magnum is my favourite. Definitely my favourite ice cream.

I have never heard of this delightful dessert before.
Oh, I am sure the hot pot table is illegal!!! I think they might find you insane for doing so. :)

LL, I never tried the white one, I will have to do that.

BBS, try it! It's really, really good. I think you are right about the table. :)

I saw a commercial for them the other day and really need to try them. It will take a little while before they make to where I live, here in the middle of no where.
