[New for 2026] I'm trying to clean up my phone a bit, so let me share four products that we've seen at the grocery stores these last couple of weeks. Let's start with last night's run in to Shaw's.
pistachio & kadayif ice cream covered in milk chocolate with crunchy kadayif
Nice to see something new from Magnum these days. That said, I won't be bringing these home, but if given the option to try one, I certainly would. Who's had it?
Luigi's Mini Pops (with a boost!)
I definitely didnt have Italian Ice maker Luigi's pumping out four mini pops in 2026. I think the flavors are fairly unique (for them at least). In the photo you can see coconut lime (with added electrolytes), mango pineapple (with vitamin c), and blueberry lemon (with prebiotic fiber inulin). Apparently there is a strawberry watermelon (with electrolytes) flavor as well. $4.99 for a box of 8 small (1.5 fl oz) pops. I think I'd probably start with the watermelon one.
David Frozen Dessert
We were at Target last weekend when I spied 3 of the 4 David ice cream flavors in a freezer end cap. Only $8 here which beats the $15 a pint price on their website (which supposedly sold out super quick). Flavors are cookie dough, triple peanut butter, triple chocolate, and vanilla bean.
Notice it's "frozen dessert", not "frozen dairy dessert". Makes me think of the early Arctic Zero days. Sweetened with Sucralose, Monk Fruit, and Stevia extract. No thank you.
Breakcup 2-in-1 Pint
Let's end on a fun note. We spied these at Wegmans and they would have joined us in the shopping cart if they included a spoon (though I just realized that we could have snagged spoons from the prepared food side of Wegmans). To me, these scream to be eaten on the way home. They just do (especially when on sale for $3.99 instead of their regular $5.49).
I'm thinking we would have went with the cookie dough / chocolate chip combo. There's also mint chocolate chip & chocolate fudge brownie, vanilla & chocolate, and then coffee & choc choc chip (ha, that's funny!).
I would check their website for more flavors, but I dont have a clear enough photo of the side of the container, and I cant google it because you basically just get break up results. I can tell you that half pint calories seem to be in the 370-390 range. That's 246-260 per 2/3 cup serving, which puts it in mainstream ice cream territory.
Let me know which ones you would nosh or not in the comments?
(and if you've already had it, even better!)
Dubai
ReplyDeleteSadly no first hand experience here, but the magnums and coconut lime pops did catch my eye, I don't think I've ever had a magnum product so I should fix that soon, for science :)
ReplyDelete(The lime + electrolytes combo reminds me of Gatorade which I can't help but to find amusing)
You've never had a magnum bar? They aren't as big as they once were, but still a solid treat!
DeleteNever once! While the shrinkage is unfortunate, at least as far as I'm concerned I'd rather have less without compromising quality than the other way around; I can always have two bars at once!
DeleteBut yeah despite being a long timer here and seeing all the reviews the stars never aligned, I wish I didn't miss the boat on the pints because I like the fun factor of the topping
I've been looking for that Dubai Magnum but not yet found. I have found the BreakCups and am intrigued, but also surprised how little info there is to check out before dropping the money, aside from 2 TikToks (both positive, if that helps!). If they'd paired the cookie dough with the brownie, I'd be more open to just giving it a try.
ReplyDeleteI'll try to be prepared for my next Wegman's trip so that we can bring the cups home and give them a try.
DeleteFrom my experience with Wegmans' own branded ice cream, I'm actually more excited to try their new Indulgent bars and the new Nutty Waffle Cone premium pint! We'll have to trade notes.
ReplyDeleteIf I remember right, all the Wegman's stuff gets made in Perry's factories (though maybe that's changed, I havent checked in a long time). Either way, I should grab something from Wegman's every now and then.
