Anyone who wants a defined cone portion
A multipack lets you take one cone rather than serve from a tub. Sainsbury’s lists Cornetto Classico as six 90 ml cones, with 163 kcal per cone.
Who might choose each format?
Chocolate-coating fans who do not need a cone
Magnum Classic is a vanilla ice-cream stick coated in milk chocolate, not a wafer cone. Tesco lists a three-stick pack of 100 ml portions and labels the product gluten free.
Households checking ingredients and allergens
The listed Cornetto Classico contains wheat, milk and hazelnuts. The listed Magnum Classic contains milk and carries precautionary nut information. Check the current pack for the product you buy.
What should you check before buying?
Decide whether the wafer cone or chocolate-coated stick is part of what you want, then compare the complete serving and its label.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Format and portion | Check whether it is a wafer cone or a coated stick, then read the portion size and number of pieces. Sainsbury’s lists Cornetto Classico as six 90 ml cones; Tesco lists Magnum Classic as three 100 ml sticks. | I want one defined serving, but the cone’s wafer texture or the stick’s chocolate coating may decide which format I pick. |
| Per-piece nutrition | Compare energy, saturates and sugars for the whole cone, not unlike serving measures. Sainsbury’s lists 163 kcal, 7.2 g saturates and 10 g sugars for one Classico cone; its two Taste the Difference examples list 201 and 221 kcal per cone. | If I’m choosing between a standard cone and a layered dessert-style cone, I want to compare what each complete portion contains. |
| Allergens | Read the ingredients and precautionary statements on the current pack. The listed Classico cone declares wheat, milk and hazelnuts; Tesco’s Magnum Classic listing declares milk and says it may contain several nuts. | A different format does not answer my allergen question: I need to check the particular cone or stick I will eat. |
| Frozen storage | Check the pack’s storage temperature, freezer space and condition on arrival. Joybuy’s Cornetto Classico and Magnum Classic listings say not to refreeze once thawed. | I need to get a multipack into the freezer while it is still frozen, even if I plan to eat only one portion tonight. |

Assuming every individual cone is the same serving
Sainsbury’s lists 163 kcal per Cornetto Classico cone, compared with 201 and 221 kcal per cone for two of its layered Taste the Difference products. Their serving weights and styles also differ.

Choosing by flavour without checking allergens

Leaving a frozen multipack out before storing it
Joybuy’s Cornetto Classico and Magnum Classic listings instruct shoppers to keep the products frozen and not to refreeze them once thawed.
