Selecta Magnum Almond On A Rainy Day?

Ice cream on a rainy day? This is different from what most South Koreans do in the depths of winter- eating ice cream. For me, though, there is only one ice cream brand I've wanted to try for some time now-Magnum!

Magnum has become an internet sensation thanks to netizens who have passionately discussed it with matching photos on various social networking sites. Those who haven't tried it, including me and my "manikins" (nephews and nieces), can't help but crave this seemingly delish frozen delight.

We've tried purchasing Magnum from a nearby 7-11 store since Tuesday but have failed. Can you believe that it's always out of stock? I can't believe it myself! Fortunately, when my nephew Chix stopped by this morning, several Magnum Almond bars remained.

Magnum Almond is a vanilla-flavored ice cream bar with Belgian chocolate and almonds. The ice cream is as smooth and as creamy as you want it to be. It's Selecta sweet, which means that on a scale from 1 to 10, it's a 9, while Magnolia Dear is a 6 or a 7 for me.

Although it is sweet to my liking, the silky smoothness and the innate artistry in the vanilla ice cream are enough invitations to devour the whole bar. The crunchy coating, however, bursts with a rich chocolatey taste made even more exciting with the slivered almonds. Although this particular flavor is not a runaway favorite of most people, I still found it satiating and worth the calories.
