I Heart(brand) Ice Cream

I've been seeing a lot of ads about Magnum and have read numerous FaceBook posts about it.  I'd been contemplating getting some to try out.  I figured I could still use my birthday as an excuse, or if that was stretching it, Mothers' Day was also available.  (Of course, the truth is that no excuse is required for ice cream.)

Anyway, it was the first Saturday of May when I headed for the ice cream cabinets at the grocery and I found out that Magnum was no longer on sale.  (It is still kind of expensive at about AUD8 for a pack of 4.)  The practical side of me prevailed and I checked out the prices of the other ice cream brands instead.

I grew up with Magnolia Ice cream but Selecta was a close contender.  When we moved here, I was surprised to see the Selecta logo under the Streets brand name.  Apparently Unilever uses this Heartbrand logo all over the world.  Wall's in the UK and Good Humor in the States, to name a few.

Well, one HUGE advantage of Streets here over Selecta back in the home country is that Streets has MINT ice cream!!  (And it was on sale, too.)

So even if I knew winter was approaching and because it was the weekend between my birthday and Mothers' Day, I figured everyone would be happy if I brought home a 2 litre container of ice cream.   I got the 3-in-1 Peppermint Cream.

The pictures below were taken last weekend when MyGirl and I dropped by the grocery on our own.   These photos show some of the other flavours available from Streets and the non-sale price of the ice cream.
