To be in a rage about my Magnum ice cream?

[maternitart]

In a bad mood so thought I'd treat myself to a Magnum.

Firstly when I opened it the chocolate shell was all smashed up so I didn't get the satisfying crack of breaking it, and shards of choc started flaking off everywhere.

Secondly, the stick was poorly placed (off-centre) meaning that within a few bites the whole ice cream was about to fall off it.

I grabbed the nearest suitable thing to save it which was a plate with DS' partially gummed bread crusts on, so the now disrobed ice cream centre got covered in breadcrumbs.

Then DS immediately smooshed his arm into the plate by throwing himself backwards, and then threw said arms at my black jeans.

AIBU to be in a boiling rage at this travesty? Knew I should have had a bloody Calippo.

Also I'm certain they didn't sell Peanut Butter Cup flavour in the uk any more....???

No... Way...

PB cup flavour is gone but the new Core one is this

From this review, looks like 'Kev' also got swindled on the cups front.

Do send them a photo. If I was employed to review customer complaints, anything that stood out or made me laugh would get extra vouchers.

I bet it didn't grow back either!!! I'd definitely complain

[maternitart]

Ah yes - I had that PB Core one (I do occasionally eat food other than ice cream) and agree with Kev that it was way too jammy. The peanut butter bit would have been good with a hot jam sauce though. Nom.

I think maybe my Magnum disaster was fate's way of telling me I should have gone for the double-walled construction type with the delicious caramel gooey stuff in, which is what I really wanted. But I was trying to be "sensible" and went for the less messy Classic instead.

Right. I'm going to send this thread to Mr M. Agnum at Unilever and see what they say! Will report back...

[maternitart]

No it didn't grow back theweeyin . What's the number for the ASA again?

[Sallyingforth]

Next time don't eat it. Put it in an envelope and post it to the customer complaints dept. Second class post should be good enough.

I have just dispatched DH to the shop for emergency Magnums
