TASTE TEST 2K22: MAGNUM REMIXES, TWISTER MYSTICOOL PHOENIX AND CORNETTO CHOCOLATEY AND COOKIES

 MAGNUM WHITE CHOCOLATE AND BERRY REMIX



Package colour: Black and White design with the item hovering over the alternate colours, on the coloured panels. It's designed to look like a Milk chocolate chunk, a White Chocolate chunk and a raspberry are floating in liquid.

Calorie Count: 929

Taste: These Special Editions are smaller than the regular, But to Compensate they fill it with big Flavour, Including this year's Magnum series. That's right it's more than one this year! Taking on the food trend of Deconstruction, The Magnum reinvented itself a Double Sized Raspberry Ripple In a Half-and-half Chocolate Shell

Shell has thin depth, But good texture and Mouthfeel, But Raspberry is Famously overpowering, Being double ripple there is more raspberry than vanilla on display, it was about time they changed the script. In fact it was ME! who said last year I was getting a little bit bored of Vanilla rippled with whatever was  mixed with the chocolate. I'm not saying I'm the one who caused the change, that would be a vain comment to make, I'm just happy change has happened!

MAGNUM ALMOND REMIX



Package colour: Exactly the same as above, But Replace the world "Raspberry" with "1 and a half Almonds"

Calorie Count: 961

Taste: the outer shell is exactly like the other, However to Differentiate it from the above, Clusters of Nuts are Embedded in the chocolate. The last time Magnum Used praline, I suggested they used a Praline/ Vanilla Ripple to cut down the heaviness. I know this is just another coincidence that my Suggestions seemed answered in New Products, but after tasting it done in practice, I'm glad the taste wasn't too heavy, despite its 900 plus Calories.

CORNETTO SOFT COOKIE AND CHOCOLATE



Package Colour: Purple With Chocolate Syrup and Cookie crumbs with Pencilled Decals of Vines, Seashells, Swirls and triangles.

Calorie Count: 917 in a 81 gram item.

Taste: Vanilla and Chocolate Blended Ice-cream in a standard wafer cone with a chocolate filled tip, Ending in the Signature Soft swirl covered in Chocolate Syrup and dusted with cookies. It's being done before in other desert and confectionery mediums. With good reason: Covering Chocolate with More Chocolate is a decadent flavour, but how will HB continue to use Plastic domes for their cornettos, in a more green-minded World?

TWISTER MYSTICOOL PHOENIX



Package Colour: panels of red, orange and yellow in a flame motif. On each side a border made of a photo of the item. A photo of the item shows sparks and embers of red orange and yellow convey the imagery of the Legendary Firebird. Once again, as part of the kids range, Photos of an Orange Slice, a mango served "Hedgehog Style" and a single raspberry. And it's boosting of "Only 66 Calories". But once again, I must add mixing juices from different sources makes this more sugary than any mineral.

Calorie Count: However 66 Calories is nothing to be sneezed at!

Taste: remembering the last time I reviewed a twister icelolly, I have a bowl on standby should it fall off the stick after one bite. Surprisingly, the item stood firm. Much like Peekablue before it. Every bite of Phoenix, Melts into a flavour consistent with the Mouthfeel of a smoothie. Also another gripe that I mentioned before that us now remedied, the mango yellow stripe is a more brighter yellow colour as opposed to it being a urine colour.

Overall, a Great Batch thus year, I will probably have more of these this Summer, Beyond this Review.
