'Should I buy three Magnums and throw one away?' blog discussion

System

Or as previously suggested, give one away - I'm sure you'd find plenty of willing recipients in Oxford.

Yeah, my husband for one. He is working on a new school being built in Oxford and he was complaining earlier that he was too hot.

Personally i would eat two and go without me dinner.;)

I regularly do a mystery shop where you HAVE to buy a certain item on the menu that I don't like. Each time I lurk outside the shop and give the item to an emerging customer. These are premium food shops in ultra-expensive areas of London, and it can be embarrassing, but I've always managed to find a grateful recipient so far

I'd have either shared the third ice cream with my friend or eaten it myself - preferably eaten the second one myself!!!

Give it away, random acts of kindness make the world a better place.

Martin do you really need them could you get a drink instead? A large litre bottle of water has to be about the same price, better for you and last longer.

If all else fails I'm with the majority GIVE it away.

I'd have bought 2 boxes, eaten 5, and still give one away

This always happens to me and my sister, but we always get a three pack eat one each and give one to the homeless man that sits around the corner.

There are so many people selling the big issue, sitting on benches and they really do not get offended if you give it to them! So do a good deed :beer: :beer:

p.s. or you could scoff it yourself!

Totally help the homeless peeps especially one with a dog to share with they get very hot with their furry coats :A

I think now we've had all the replies, I should tell you what we actually did.....

We went round the corner and bought a normal ice-cream each - I had orange sherbet in a cone and it was GOOOOD

I am glad to hear that you bought ice cream and not guns.

I've been watching CSI too much!

Martin, Martin, Martin. How disappointing.

Surely you know that when sold like this, products are often smaller than the equivalent individual product? Just about all multi-packs use the same trick.

The real comparison is, of course, not on the unit price but on the cost/weight price.

PS and just for the record, I'd be happy with any ice-cream right now!!!
