Blue Bell Ice Cream


I have been reading a lot about Magnum Ice Cream bar after its product launching in the Philippines.But not all the reviews are positive, one blogger even said that it is an expensive version of the Philippines famous pinipig (rice puff) crunch. Well, people has different taste when it comes to food, one food might be heaven to others but not to another one.The Belgian chocolate ice cream bar is available in 3 flavors for Php 50 each.

Curious about the taste and the price, I checked the Magnum out at Walmart Superstore to see if it is really  the best tasting  ice cream bar ever. Unfortunately the store only have the classic flavor at 3- bar pack, (3.38fl oz) for $3.28 and a standard size bar for 1.88 each.Okay, so the ice cream bar is already right in front of me.Hmm, too pricey and I am not sure if my kids are going  like it. Being a practical mom, I opted for my kids favorite brand ice cream, a half gallon Blue Bell, dutch chocolate flavor for only $5.97 .It is not the cheapest ice cream in the US but I don't mind buying knowing that it is the best ice cream for my kids.

      Rich, creamy chocolate ice cream made with the finest imported chocolate.

         For my kids there are no better chocolate ice cream than Blue Bell  Dutch Chocolate ice cream.

As for the Magnum ice cream bar. I will get some when the store has all the 3 flavors in an individual pack.

  3. This is my friend's preferred brand too Miss Tess :-) I was really wondering what was all those hypes are all about. Maybe the marketing manager of Magnum in the Philippines is a genius! My Magnum Post

  7. Magnum has been here in Sweden since I can't remember when. It's not an expensive version of the classic chocolate Pinipig ice cream. It's more delicious but upon knowing that the price back home ranges from Php50 to 60, I think that's too much. Magnum tastes good but not that excellent. Once you've tried it, you will not find yourself craving for it. :) It's a good thing that you opted for the brand your kids love :)

  8. With all the hype about Magnum, good or bad, people are getting curious, including me! Hahahaha! I'm not too convinced to buy a P50 ice cream bar. Hahaha!

    I'm sure your kiddos enjoyed the Blue Bell. It shows on their photo. =)

  12. not really so enchanted with Magnum... I was really surprised to know that people were crazy about it in the Philippines. I'll still go for Haagen Dazs for life.

  15. Honestly, Magnum is good. I think your kids wouldn't be able to tell the difference from other ice cream bars though, so tama lang that you got their fave brand.. ^^ Hope I get to try Blue Bell too.

  17. I've tried Magnum, but I really don't get what the fuss is all about. Ben and Jerry's and Haagen Dazs are so, so much better. But then they're more expensive, too.

  18. I really don't get all the fuss over Magnum. I've tried it and, well, nothing special there. B&J and Haagen Dazs are still the best, hands down. But I guess it's the price difference.
