Acute Dinty Moore Syndrome?
I couldn't figure out what that meant until I read the post... how true! That's the only time I've ever eaten the stuff!
As for the ice cream bars...sounds like we need to get the experts together for a blind taste test 
Mom always told me to be different - Now she says...Not THAT different

My eldest daughter lives in Brisbane Australia. This is her response to Magnum Bars:
"we have magnum (ice cream) bars here too. They are very rich and worth every bite...but they are much too small 100gms(ish) that is less than 4oz...
OK granted I am an American, and everything is bigger in the States... "

An old thread ...back to life...
The US made Magnum bars appeared at the local market (Albertsons)
I purchased a box of three, around $4.00 US.
My dear wife and I, with great expectations, had a Magnum bar as an after dinner treat. They did not taste same as we recalled from years passed in
Baja and Europe.
They were, according to me, smaller, 3.38 oz, (100 ml) not as much coating and certainly did not have the flavor of our beloved Baja. My wife
indicated the were the same size;3.38 oz, (100 ml) I thougt the were smaller...Quien Sabe?
Any one had a Baja Magnum bar in the recent past?
How do they compare in size?
If known in taste?
What is your "EXPERT" opinion?

Oh, great! Another vice picked up on this forum. My wife and I love Dove bars. Never tried Magnum bars, but, now when I go back to La Paz, I am
buying Magnum bars. Trying to keep the fat and cholesterol under control, so I pace my intake of meat to allow for Dove bars. Before this thread, I
have never eaten ice cream in La Paz, accept one time when I bought a quart of Strawberry Volandra... it was terrible, so I figured ice cream in Baja
must suck and never considered buying any. Then this thread comes along.
Since stepping up my visits to La Paz over the last three years, I have become a beer drinker, hot chili eater, mesquite barbecuer, addicted Bajanomad
participant, and now probably a Magnum ice cream bar eater and Costco Icre Cream bar eater. Yeah, thanks alot.

ICE CREAM!! YES!! WHERE IS IT!! GIVE IT HERE!!
PANT-PANT-PANT....sigh...
So okay, I like ice cream a bit. Magnum, Dove, Eskimo Pie, Drumsticks, Cheerios, Banana splits...ummm ...all goood.
A couple years ago Co-Pilot bought our group Magnum almond crunch bars at the highway Pemex south of Mulege. She said these were her
favorite in Italy, too.
I had one yesterday near Bottineau, ND while visiting the International Peace Gardens. Crisp, cold, and GOOD. Always a treat....and no
calories...(that you want to count). I'd have one for breakfast right now, but all I have is some frozen Milky Way Bite-size. Oh well...munch,
munch, munch...
ICE CREAM JOKE:
This old guy wobbles into an ice cream shop.
He has a hard time walking. He's hunched over.
He goes up the counter and says, "Banana Split, please."
The lady at the counter says, "Crushed nuts?"
The old man says, "No. Arthritis!"
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

They ARE good! I don't even like ice cream much, now that Ben and Jerry's quit making Wavy Gravy. My husband used to sneak, (well, not really) down to
the corner tiendita most evenings and pick up a magnum for his dessert. So creamy and lots of chocolate. Magnum forever!

Paula and I always stop at the Rock and Roll Pemex at the turn in Insurgentes for a Magnum bar. Been eating them for years. Maybe it's the Dinty Moore
effect and maybe not, but they always taste sooooo good after miles and miles on the road. And yes, I inevitably get chocolate on my shirt.
As to the Costco bar. Never had one, but it sounds like the Balboa Bar of my youth down on the Newport peninsula. They had all kinds of cool stuff to
dip that baby in. Or if you were in a health food mode, you could get a dipped frozen banana.
No b-tchin\' in the Baja.

There are some good options if you make down to Loreto...
This little shop is just off the main plaza.. just look for the happy clients walking out the door with their pleasure...

With all these post about MEXICAN Magnum gave me the Dinty Mooe syndrome. I needed a Mangum Bar Fix!
American made Magnum lack that certain something, they just don't taste like thier distant cousins south of the border.
So yesterday I arrived at Costco's SanLuis Obispo outside food service window at exactly 10:00 AM and was the first and only one in line. I had a
short discussion with the window clerk about Mexican Magnum bars and my, by then acute Dinty Moore syndrome, so she made me a super Costco
bar...Double dipped and an extra long trip through the nut bin---It was so close but still not a MEXICAN Magnum bar!
What? What I ask? is a poor slow talking, slow walking,slow thinking Central Coast Bajaphile Magnamphile to do?
