WHY YOU CAN START EATING MAGNUMS NOW
Confession number 417 (you can read confessions 1 and 2 here). I had light anorexia. A combination of a bit too many hours in the ballet studio and a, by the way, very healthy for a seventeen-year-old, slight lack of self-confidence. It's completely gone now, no worries about that, but it does mean that I still know that an apple has sixty calories and a Mars and a muffin are definitely too much. By the way, I've forgotten the energy value of a glass of wine, funny, right?
But for that reason, eating a Magnum was not an option for a long time. In a supreme state of desire, I would only nibble the chocolate off and give the rest of the ice cream to my father, but in recent years, Magnum has been an object of desire that I would throw longing stealthy glances at. But that was as far as it went. I kept having visions of that pack of butter and I might as well stick it right on my hips/belly/upper arms. But now I have discovered the truth. And what a revelation it is. From now on, I will eat Magnums. And for these reasons.
1. It only has 250 calories
250! That's three large apples and two mandarins. If I had known that earlier. I don't know who threw that comparison with that pack of butter into the world, but they can write 250 lines as punishment. At least. And if you buy a mini, it's just a fraction of the calories. A little cookie has more.
2. The chocolate is the best in the world
Made at Barry Callebaut with our Belgian neighbors. A lot of ice creams are made from cocoa fantasy (a chocolate substitute), but Magnum only does it for the real thing because Barry is also known as the best chocolatier in the world.
3. The crack when you bite into the chocolate
The iconic Magnum sound, the crack of the real thing. Chocolate, teeth, action, and... aaagh. There are indeed a few things to think of that are even tastier, but there aren't many.
4. The stick is sustainable
Unilever (the parent company of Magnum) plants trees back and ensures that the wood they use is recycled where possible and they work together with Rainforest Alliance.
5. Kendall eats them too
And if it's good enough for Kendall...
6. Magnum is even tastier
The block of ice cream has become smaller to make room for two layers of chocolate with a filling in between. Like caramel for example or Magnum chocolate.
7. Did I already mention that they only have 250 calories?
Take a latte with a muffin and you have more to grab.
