    YEAH.... I totally agree with you on the Magnum bars....

    I will not buy them & have them in my house.... because I would probably eat 2 back-to-back....!


    No Magnum bars allowed.....!

    Just saw the commercials this week, never heard of them before (actually at first I thought the commercial was for condoms lol) but they look awesome! And I will never buy them, ever!

    LMAO I was so tempted to buy them just taste them. But then that is where my will power kicked in and I bought my Prestige Chocolate Frozen Yogurt. Now if they had them with Dark Chocolate then maybe the temptations would be harder.... LOL

    That is so funny. I saw those at the drugstore. Picked them up and put them down. Picked them up again, read the nutrition info and put them down again. Then I left quickly. Knew I wouldn't be able to resist if I stayed in the store any longer. You're right. They look so good on the commercials and I had a feeling they were just as good as advertised. Thanks for the heads up.

    i bought a single caramel one at the store... ate it.... moaned for a while... then looked at nutritional information... cried for a while...

    Yes, they are that good, but waaaaaaay too bad for regular indulgence- for me, anyway. I'm thinking for fantastic news or celebration.

    Those are insanely badass. The ones with the caramel between two layers of chocolate? Holy hell. I'm sorry, but sometimes a sin is worth the price. I'm not buying them, but I'm also not talking my mom out of having them in her house for when I visit ....

    And, look at that! What a coincidence! I just happen to be traveling to see my mom this weekend! 0:-)

    I saw the commercial and knew I had to try them. I have yet to try one but this post makes want to run out and grab a box. I am a total ice cream fiend. Oh, and don't let their be caramel. *sigh* When I lose another 10lbs, I'm gonna treat myself to one.

    Okay, I am so NOT going to try those. Especially knowing I've got a coupon too. ROFL! I actually LOVE the Healthy Choice Fudge Bars and they're low carb, or at least they fit into my snack allowance. Better to not know what I'm missing. I'll stick to those and never try the Magnum bars. HA! Thanks for the warning! Been hard enough to resist the chocolate iced, cream filled Krispy Creme donuts in the kitchen!

    Holy moly I just looked at the website for nutritional info and the carbs and sugar are outrageous! 29g of sugar and 32 for carbs and 250cals for one bar! No way! Those will not be coming anywhere near my mouth...or hips for that matter! They do look tasty tho!

    Magnums are awesome. The double caramel is the best thing ever...Vanilla ice cream, double-dipped in seductive Magnum chocolate. Beneath its cool exterior lies a tempting layer of thick caramel.

    And a mere 340 calories per bar, in the UK at least.

    Read 'em and weep...

    I came across one in the store recently - Just a single at they wanted $4 for it! For the kind of $$$ it had better do more than make me fatter!!! LOL

    The only ice cream bar I like more than Magnum are Dove Dark Chocolate ones. Both are bad news from a calorie standpoint, for sure! But, mighty yummy.

    For whomever asked, I had the Double Chocolate ones and they are 350 calories a bar. Definitely a huge splurge.

    Okay, so I couldn't help myself and just googled them. I almost died when I saw that they had white chocolate. OMG! Why did I open this post? lol

    Oh believe me I know that brief trip into heaven with those things!! I spent a semester in Australia in 2004, so long before they made it to the US, and I had them there... O..M..G.. def the best frozen treat I've ever had! Oh and slightly off topic, but while I'm mentioning Aussie goodies... 1 word... Tim-Tams... They're also available here, and the most decadent cookies known to man.. that it all lol..

    It's times like these when I'm happy I don't have a TV, so no cable...I don't see many food ads unless they're on here! Makes eating healthier much easier lol

    Are you feeling okay? Or did your kid post that for you? Your post gave me a headache. We're not texting each other here. Please use common sense and type up a pointless post correctly.

    LOL @ the OP! So true!!

    So my boyfriend is 6'5 and is trying to GAIN weight to gain muscle (and he totally copied off of me yesterday by joining MFP) anywayyyy he bought the white chocolate magnum bars on Sunday while we were grocery shopping. For the first two months of my weight loss he was very supportive and didnt' bring that stuff in our home. Well now I'm pretty much good at avoiding temptation.

    But while he was eating it, I had a damn flashback of the commercial so I asked for a bite. He gave me one, when I asked for another he said HELL NO! So...in essence, I had to thank him. LOL He even went and ate the entire box the next day =) Even tho I convinced myself that they were nasty at that point...Even tho I know they werent...


    Seriously folks, STAY AWAY!!!
