Magnums remain the nation’s favourite ice cream, but a new test by Sky News’ Money team found that Aldi’s Specially Selected Madagascan Vanilla Ice Cream offers a better price-for-flavour payoff than the premium brand. The comparison involved eight supermarket alternatives tested against Magnums, with the panel rating each option on creaminess, texture, flavour and sweetness .
Aldi’s vanilla ice cream, priced at £2.69, was named the best vanilla ice cream on the market, outperforming both Magnums and other rivals including Häagen-Dazs and Judes . The test comes as Magnum pack sizes have shrunk and prices have risen, prompting consumers to look for cheaper dupes that match the original’s quality [summary].
Sky News’ Money team concluded that while Magnums hold the title of favourite, Aldi’s option delivers superior value without sacrificing taste [summary]. No residents, customers, police or council officials were mentioned in the report, and the findings are based solely on the panel’s ratings [summary].
