A Major Brand Crossover
The Magnum range is a fixture of the UK freezer aisle. It has its established classics and its more recent, elaborate variants. But a direct, named crossover with another company’s confectionery brand is not its usual territory. This concept changes that, proposing a collaboration with one of the biggest names in the sweet space: Ferrero’s Kinder.
The design shows a standard three-pack multipack for Magnum’s Kinder Happy Hippo Edition. It borrows the familiar colour scheme and hippo mascot from the popular biscuit, placing them on Magnum’s classic dark brown branding. The caption that accompanied the image was direct. “Kinder Happy Hippo Magnums! That milk and hazelnut combo with crispy wafer?! YES PLEASE!” It’s a simple pitch. It suggests a very specific experience familiar to anyone who has eaten the real thing.
The Happy Hippo Flavour Profile
A Kinder Happy Hippo is a very particular product. It’s a crisp, hollow wafer biscuit shaped, as the name implies, like a small hippopotamus. The original version is filled with two distinct creams: a white, milky filling and a smooth hazelnut cream. The base is dipped in a frosting and sprinkled with meringue pieces. Translating this combination of textures and flavours into a Magnum would be a significant technical exercise.
The ice cream itself would need to replicate the dual milk and hazelnut fillings. Then there’s the wafer. The mockup’s caption mentions “crispy wafer,” implying that pieces of the biscuit would be included as an element within the ice cream or its chocolate shell. This is a common technique for co-branded ice creams, adding texture and a direct link to the source product.
Magnum’s Current Range
Magnum’s UK range is broad, but it tends to revolve around variations on core ingredients rather than external brands. The current lineup includes fruit flavours like Double Raspberry and Signature Peach, alongside staples such as Mint, Almond, and Salted Caramel. There are also different formats, from standard sticks to minis and tubs, and dietary options like the Magnum Vegan Classic.
A Happy Hippo edition would be the first of its kind. It would push Magnum into the competitive space of confectionery crossovers, a field more commonly associated with brands like Cadbury. While Magnum’s Double Salted Caramel tub exists, the brand’s primary focus remains on its own flavour profiles. This concept represents a completely different strategic path. It is a significant departure.
What the real range looks like
The real Magnum range in the UK includes Classic, Almond, White Chocolate, Mint, and Salted Caramel sticks, alongside more complex editions like Double Raspberry and Signature Peach. A Kinder Happy Hippo flavour would be a rare co-branded edition, sitting apart from the brand’s usual in-house flavour combinations.
