An Unlikely Crossover
This concept design proposes a collision of two very different brands. Magnum is a premium, pan-European ice cream stick. Irn-Bru is a fiercely Scottish carbonated drink, whose unique flavour and aggressive marketing have given it the status of a national icon. The mockup, presented in Magnum’s standard three-pack multipack box, adopts the soft drink’s unmissable orange and blue branding.
While brand crossovers are common in the snack world, they tend to happen between adjacent categories like biscuits and chocolate bars. A partnership between a premium ice cream and a mass-market soft drink is a far bigger leap. Irn-Bru’s flavour is famously hard to pin down—a citrus-forward, tutti-frutti profile that isn’t easily replicated. The challenge would be translating that specific fizzy sweetness into a block of vanilla ice cream, all before it’s coated in cracking Magnum chocolate.
Magnum’s Real-World Range
The current Magnum lineup in UK freezers shows a clear strategy, and it doesn’t involve soft drinks. The core of the range is built on established ice cream parlour flavours: Classic, White Chocolate, Mint, and Almond. They are dependable sellers. When the brand does innovate, it’s typically within the dessert and fruit categories.
Recent additions like Magnum Double Raspberry and Salted Caramel fit this pattern perfectly, as do Pistachio and Signature Peach. These are familiar, premium flavour profiles that extend the brand’s reach without straying too far from what shoppers expect. A soft drink collaboration would be a complete departure, placing a flavour known for its acidic, fizzy character into a range built on creamy, rich ingredients. It would be Magnum’s most unusual launch by a significant margin.
What the real range looks like
Magnum’s current UK range focuses on classic combinations like Almond, Mint, and White Chocolate, alongside more decadent variants such as Salted Caramel and Double Raspberry. The lineup also includes a Signature Peach flavour. A carbonated drink crossover like Irn-Bru would be a first for the brand, sitting far outside its established portfolio of fruit, nut, and confectionery-based flavours.

Frequently asked questions
- What does Irn-Bru taste like?
- Irn-Bru is a Scottish carbonated soft drink with a unique citrus and bubblegum flavour. Its exact 32-ingredient recipe is a closely guarded secret, though it’s famously described in marketing as being ‘made in Scotland from girders’.
- Does Magnum make other soft drink flavoured ice creams?
- No, the brand’s current flavours in the UK are based on fruits like raspberry and peach, or confectionery staples like salted caramel, mint, and pistachio. A collaboration with a soft drink brand would be a new direction for them.
- Are Irn-Bru Magnums real?
- No, this product is not real. The image of an Irn-Bru Magnum is a Snackfish — a fictional concept designed by the online creative page UK Snack Attack. It is not in development and cannot be bought in shops.
