An international brand known locally as carried by Selecta, Magnum ice cream is brought to the Philippines by Unilever.

Magnum Ice Cream

It's marketing strategy in the Philippines is to sell it as a premium ice cream for the sophisticated with a high price point as well ranging from Php 50 in groceries and supermarket to Php 60 in small convenience stores and branches. Further reinforcing this is the use of celebrities to endorse the product. It was also able to launch a successful social media campaign through the Internet that was able to tap bloggers and social networks to make the ice cream 'wanted'.

Magnum Almond

It's generally a smooth and creamy ice cream bar coated with a thick layer of Belgian chocolate. A true feast for ice cream and chocolate lovers!

Magnum ice cream's 3 variants are the:

• Magnum Classic
• Magnum Almond
• Magnum Chocolate Truffle

I recently tried the Almond flavor and was satisfied. I bought from the SM Supermarket  in SM Megamall where it is least expensive at P50.
