ICECREAM 2K24 TASTE TEST: TWISTER BERRYLICIOUS, MAGNUM EUPHORIA AND MAGNUM CHILL

 Stone the Crows, they actually have the new products in shops the same week they announced them! 

So lets get into it!

HB TWISTER BERRYLICIOUS



Package Colour: Indigo, Blue, Dusky Pink, and Purple Gradients into each other, Par the course, Both sides are Bookmarked by a Closeup of Photos of the Item. A Full Photo of the Item on the right and a Photo of A Blueberry, Raspberry and 2 Blackcurrants. Next to the Item, a Rolling Stones-esque Lips Shouts a Blurb that tells us it "Naturally Colours Your Tongue!"

Flavour: As Stated, Blueberry, Raspberry and Blackcurrant Ice-lolly!

Calorie Count: a lean 68 (ALMOST!) In a 72G Item

Taste: Biting down on a mouthful and Pressing it to the roof of my mouth, causes it to melt and Explode with Flavour! Though Delicious, what I said last year has come through-they are running out of Ideas. This feels like any Dilute or Squash you can add water to, with the Colour change Gimmick added to entertain Kids!

HB MAGNUM EUPHORIA PINK LEMONADE



Package Colour: Panels of Pink and White Surrounding A Pink Circular Pink-tinted Contents of a lava lamp, making the logo. On the Right on top of the Panels, The Item, a Curled up thin slice of Lemon and 2 Raspberries!

Flavour: Lemon Icecream Surrounds Core of Raspberry Sorbet, Set in White Chocolate Shell Decorated with Popping Candy and Pink Sugar Pellets.

Calorie Count: A Belt-Bursting 901 calories in a (SIGH!) 69g Choc-ice!



The Red core can be Seen Through the pale cream and White Chocolate. The White Icecream is not Vanilla, it's Lemonade, so the Sharp Citrus Flavour will astonish those who didn't read the ingredients. The Citrus is very Sharp and Strong, You almost Trick Your Mind by Nearly Burping for Carbonation that doesn't exist! Second Bite reveals the Raspberry Core, adding the "Pink" to "Pink Lemonade", And Adding Popping Candy is always Fun, Maybe that's why this ties back to calling it "Euphoria".

HB MAGNUM CHILL ICECREAM (WELL I HOPE THEY DID! ELSEWISE IT'LL MELT!)



Package Colour: Exactly the Same Premise as the Previous Except with Purple and Brown Panels surrounding a Purple-Tinted Lava Lamp. On top of Panels 1 Item, a Single Blueberry and 2 Crumbs of Chocolate Cookie/Brownie.

Flavour: Vegan Biscuit infused Vanilla,( a first for the Limited Editions!) smothering a heart of Blueberry Sorbet, covered in a milk chocolate shell with biscuit pieces. As someone who very recently had to babysit children during Christmas on a sugar rush filled with chocolate, there is nothing "Chill" about this flavour!

Calorie Count: a slightly less chonky 892 in a 70g item

Taste: Thick Chocolate shell with the Shrapnel of biscuits provide a loud and Satisfying "CRUNCH!" The Vanilla Ice-cream is infused with a light note of Biscuit spices. Second bite reveals the Sorbet, and provides a Contrast to the heavy Chocolate biscuit. While the first Magnum is a combination of Flavours that combines into one Form, here we have the Opposite, two flavours that Contrast each other and still do the job of having its own identity.

This may be the first time we don't have a "Bad" Flavour or a "Better" Flavour!
