Magnums - Now available in Canada
 
I saw an advert for these on US TV the other day....went to my local Walmart and there they were, they are a tad smaller than UK ones...and for $6.99 for 3, they are not cheap...but they do taste like English Magnums!!!

I think maybe the English ones got smaller too? .... leastways, when I had a Magnum back in my May visit to UK I was somewhat disappointed with the size! :unsure:

Tasted Ok though :)

What with rising food prices I suspect they have been made smaller to prevent price increases. They are quite expensive to begin with.

Welcome to the new economy. :sneaky:

Many things have become smaller in the last couple of years yet they've remained the same price or even gone up in price.

Superstore and Shoppers DM often has them for between $4 and $5. Even $3.49 once.:)

A few acceptable alternative brands have also appeared.

You have painted an image of exactly what I went through growing up :) Like someone said though, they've been here for a while, I have had it in 3 different provinces now. You cane specially get them at the movie cinemas too, but the flavours are limited.

For the poster that said "so what"......lighten up :D
