Magnum GOLD?! ice cream

Spire here, and this a quick one this time.

Because ice cream waits for no one!

Magnum Gold is pretty much a limited edition flavour as far as Magnum goes, and while the event period is on you can basically find it at any 7-11 and participating grocery store.

Aside from the weird(ish) outer coating and associated contest, this is a deviancy from the usual classy Magnum branding for the ice cream company. The contests are still going on today if you're interested in checking them out.

Out of the wrapper, the outer shell is a canary yellow and is a tad crispier than normal.

On it's own, it pretty much tasted the same as a regular 'original' Magnum but with lashings of caramel (which I barely tasted and aren't really that visible to be honest) and a crispy candy shell outside the chocolate that snaps as you bite into it. Makes me think of a softer M&M coating on a Magnum.

It melted so fast I barely had time to enjoy it T_T

Pricing isn't cheap either at RM 4.50 a pop which is considered very premium as far as ice cream goes.

It is however exceptionally melty, even more so than a regular Magnum I fee. Isn't too different in taste but the outer shell is pretty novel. Can't go wrong with the chocolate and vanilla but I was expecting more out of this.

Spire sez: I feel it's more of a novelty thing rather than a proper new flavour for the brand. I don't know if it'll continue to be in production after the event time but it's not bad but not fantastic either.
