TASTE TEST 2K20: EAMONN REVIEWS MAGNUM RUBY COLLECTION AND MERMAID CORNETTO

Amid the Corona Virus Pandemic, we have reasons to be cheerful, and we have 2 right here!
Magnum is Launching Ruby Chocolate Ice Cream For Valentine's Day
MAGNUM RUBY COLLECTION
Package Colour: Blush Pink With Cocoa Bean Print
Calorie Count: 917
Flavour: Raspberry/Vanilla Ripple Icecream encased in Ruby Chocolate. Ruby Choclate is the recently Discovered Fourth Kind of Chocolate, Creating by Processing the Entire Berry not just the Beans, which are the seeds. Up until recently it was a trade secret Known only to Nestle, But it's still somewhat of a Luxury Item. Side Note: 2019 was the 30th anniversary of the magnum Brand so if Heartbeat had permission last year we could have had Ruby Chocolate for the Ruby Anniversary!
Taste: at 72 grams, this icecream is tiny! Who can something that weighs that much have a 900 plus change calorie count? This is more an Amousebouch than a desert. Be that as it may, the Raspberry like flavour and creamy texture of the chocolate would compliment any one flavour of icecream but to mix it with a raspberry ripple, when the chocolate itself has a raspberry like taste is confusing. It's not bad, i just wish it was bigger!
You can now buy mermaid-inspired Cornettos at Tesco and they taste ...
MERMAID CORNETTO
Package colour: Blue with scale Motif and nautical Decorations!
Calorie Count: 827
Flavour: Raspberry Sorbet, Matcha Green tea icecream, raspberry sauce in a Beetroot wafer cone, half-filled with chocolate, covered in White chocolate balls. edible Silver Glitter and Quote "Blue Nautical themed Biscuit Pieces" in reality they are all Stars!
Taste: Bright pink Sorbet, Nuclear Green icecream, Edible Glitter and Viagra Blue Biccies. Why does it look like a dancefloor after a 90s rave? also why make a "Trendy" Cornetto, putting in a Green Tea icecream and calling it Mermaid? what is the connection, if any? It tastes fine it's just... weird!
