1 Ronny  · It’s simply so crap now. Why do they even bother…
1 steven2013b  · WHAT HAPPENED? – What the hell happened? Small? Nasty? Change of chocolate and formula? Bring back the OG.
1 Ally L  · So small! What happened – I hadn’t had one in a while. Was shocked to see how much they have shrunk. Won’t be doing that again
5 Jase K.  · Favourite ice cream – I believe they use Belgium ice cream, simply the tastiest ice cream around
5 Philippa F.  · My faves – Yes they're probably not the same as they used to be but they're still delicious! Love the minis

The ice cream within the double caramel ego was creamy as remembered, but the chocolate was disappointing and left a bitter after-taste. Sadly the caramel is no longer thick and sticky, it is thin and tastes burnt. The size of the product is significantly smaller yet the price not reflective of the size decrease. Show details

For this to even CLAIM to be what the old magnum ego double caramel once was, is an absolute TRAVESTY! Runny sad minimal caramel that doesn't even reach the bottom of the icecream by design. Please, please, bring back the old size, recipe, caramel, formula. Please make it what it once was! It looks like a MINI! I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE! Your… Read more

reputation surely cannot be worth whatever this money grubbing profit margin IMPOSTER of a product now is... SO disappointed in you, Magnum, you used to be better than this.

I hadn’t had a magnum ego in years, bought one tonight when I opened it I was soooo disappointed. It was half the size of what it used to be the chocolate is thin instead of the nice thickness it used to be and different style of chocolate the caramel is thin and runny compared to its yummy thickness it used to be the flavour mix was just so off.… Read more

I decided to google why and came across this platform, I see I’m not the only one who noticed the massive change from this once delicious sweet treat.

My favourite ego and I cant find it anywhere! – Literally the best magnum. Always has always will be. Can’t find it anywhere. Probably discontinued because of all these BAD REVIEWS! How to eat: eat the first layer of chocolate, lick the caramel off then eat the next layer of chocolate an vanilla ice cream. Do not bite straight into you will not have a fun experience. #egolover  Show details

Delicious – Nothing measures up to a Magnum since my hubby and I had our first one about 12 months ago. They are just delicious. If you like creamy ice cream, chocolate and caramel you will LOVE this! Show details

Addicted to it – Caramel magnum is double yummy! I ONLY keep Magnumm ice cream bars in the house. These caramel dipped ones will make you fall in love. Gives you a rich flavor of Vanilla bean ice cream dipped in a chocolatey coating, sauce and milk chocolate.This ice cream is so delicious and addictive that I would easily pay double the price for this . My kids love it Its simply a win win ice cream worth trying.

Small and chocolate taste bad now – The have shunk by at least 20% and the chocolate now taste weird. The used to be my favourite now will will never buy them again. Fantastic way to do yourselves out of business dumbasses. I'd rather you just raise the price rather than ruin them. Show details

Worst ever product change – Taste horrible, smaller, I have never been so dissapointed. Went from a 10/10 to a 2/10. The caramel is runny, they're tiny, so dissapointed Show details

Magnum Tiny – Used to be the best. Far from it. You'll eat 2 just to get the same content as a few years ago. Done with them and the & the $11 cost for a small 4 pack.

Magnum have lost all credibility – Threw away the whole box of Luxe egos after one bite. What happened to the old ones? These tasted like super sweet nothing and were so small. The icecream was really synthetic in flavour. We really don't like the taste of any of the magnums anymore. Not worth the price at all. Show details

Please change it back – This icecream was very bad compared to what it previously was. They are smaller in size, the caramel tasted burnt, and the icecream was harder than before. Please change the recipe back, we will pay more for the original. Show details

They shrunk the ice cream – They were last weighing in at 97ml and they’re now down to 85ml. They were expensive enough at $11 a box for 388ml, now you’re still paying the same amount but for even less. I’ve yet to try the new ones but based on most / all recent reviews I don’t expect them to be any good and doubt I’ll ever buy an ego again. They’re going to loose good customers and not make new ones by the looks of things (and I’m not sure they care). Show details

Shrinkflation Station – The shrinkflation that Streets have imposed on Australian consumers is so disrespectful, I don't understand the business sense of making this cult ice cream (that use to bring joy) so small that consumers turn? Cadbury is another serial offender. Ego's use to be a family favourite but if Streets think the public will continue to put up with ongoing disrespect and keep buying their products then they are kidding themselves.

Smaller and taste bad – Use to buy these all the time but went on a health kick so stopped. Was going to start getting them again now I’m at my goals but they are now tiny and taste nowhere near as good as they use to. I use to enjoy each layer separately but now it’s all rubbish. Their website says they have been upgraded to luxe or whatever but this is by far a massive downgrade. Will never waste my money on this again. Show details

What happened! – Major disappointment! Is this an adult serving or children's? They're definitely not what they used to be. The flavour, the caramel, the savouring the last bite, the happiness, the wonder and mystery of how something can be this good!.... Gone. Avoid at all costs, even on sale! Save yourself the trauma of sacrificing old memories for ones you'll… Read more

pass down to your ancestors full of regret. Nothing will bring those back after consuming this poor excuse of a replacement.

From a sad individual just trying to enjoy life, don't share these dark days with me.

Not worth the money or time – The og magnum ego has been my favourite for years, imagine my surprise today when i was handed a new different ego!! I was hoping for the same og ego quality but it just wasnt there, instead i had a much smaller ice cream with outer chocolate that didnt have that typical magnum ego crack, the caramel was like that of a sweet cheap chocolate bar,… Read more

the second coat of chocolate was barely there and couldnt contain the surprisingly quick melting ice cream. This was a really big disappointment, og egos were a real treat and eating them was like a ritual .. outer choc first, lick the caramel off, then the second coat to reveal the thick creamy vanilla ice cream. Please bring back the OG Ego streets. This was a poor attempt to replace it.

Booo to the change!! – I use to LOVE an Ego. Now they are horrible and I won’t be buying them again! Caramel tastes burnt and is too runny, the dark chocolate in the middle doesn’t taste any good either. So disappointed! Show details

Used to be the ultimate ice cream now just terrible – I haven't had a magnum ego in a couple of years since they are $$ and I can eat a whole box in one sitting. So when I seen them on special today and with guests to share the calories, I thought it a great opportunity to endulge. WHAT A MISTAKE. The recipe has changed for the worse. The delicious caramel is now salty and it tastes burnt. I HATE… Read more

salty caramel! They haven't even changed the label to say that it's been changed to salty caramel. I can't get a good caramel ice-cream these days since every company seems to think that salty caramel is a good thing! Why do these companies mess with perfection?!

What once was – This is a horrid tasting ‘ice cream’ when it first came out years ago the chocolate was rich Belgian, the ice cream thick and creamy and the caramel in the middle was luscious. Now the chocolate is brittle, ice cream watery and the caramel has a icy texture and chemical taste. Sadly these companies know that most people don’t know how good something once was, allowing them to sell this dreck and pass it off as high quality

Not what it used to be – First time having one in a while. Felt smaller and didn't taste the same as it was before. I feel like I want to keep reliving the past by having one but it just ruins it. I thought it was different so I had to read reviews about it and I was correct Show details

Barely a shadow of its former self – The reviews here are brutal and rightfully so. Magnum Ego was once a premium ice cream and after just having my first one in a long time, I couldn't even finish it. I hate to waste food but it was just horrible. Gone is the thick chocolate coating, gooey caramel and creamy ice cream...replaced instead by thin, tasteless chocolate, DISGUSTING fake… Read more

icy "caramel" and tasteless manufactured ICY watered down ice cream. Overly sweet yet somehow tasteless. Marketed as premium but truly, this is bottom of the barrel stuff. Another example of a company out to rip consumers off with a cheap and nasty product. Such a shame for this once great product.

First Magnum in years, I'll stick with Connoisseur thanks – I stopped eating Magnum years ago due to the shrinking sizes. They were on special at Woolworths so on the spur of the moment I purchased my old favourite Ego. The sizes are even smaller than what I remember, and the taste has changed? I don't know but it has a funny flavour I can't figure out, and the ice cream itself tastes icy. Show details

No, no, no – Minis: Hugely disappointing in every respect. Will never buy this product again. I checked the package as it tasted like a $2 shop copy of the original. Why would you do this to an iconic product like this Show details

Summertime Sadness – Magnum Ego used to be my favourite summer ice cream and now it just tastes like nothing- absolutely nothing. Tragic.

Cheap and nasty – It’s like a cheap dime store knock off of a magnum ego, only it is a magnum ego. Sad to see Streets ruin such a classic product, but couldn’t really expect any different from these fascists. The packaging still makes you think of the magnum you know and love but don’t be fooled. You’re better than that. This is icy tasteless sweatshop candy, and another prime example of why this world is doomed. Think planet of the apes meets diabetes.

Poor quality everything but charging the same price?!? Won't ever buy again! – Bought a 4 pack of magnum ego caramels for the first time in a while. immediately noticed the difference!! Icy cheap tasting ice cream, icy caramel, and cheap tasting thin chocolate coating!!! What happened to the thick quality chocolate coating, gooey caramel and creamy ice cream? How stupid to think you can cut costs and charge us the same for… Read more

such an inferior product!!!! Like we wouldn't notice such a drastic change?!? Deceiving customers like that plus creating a terrible ice cream means I amongst many others will not be buying magnums ever again!!!

Tasteless – Been a while since I had a magnum ice cream period. I remember how yum the chocolate and icecream used to be.. not anymore, the Ego was tasteless. I won't buy them again.
