  "account": "A Victorian shop owner has discovered an almost 30-year-old Magnum Ego ice cream frozen in his freezer. Ash Standbridge, the owner of the Kolmar House General Store in Harrow, Victoria, made the accidental find while clearing out the freezer. The discovery has since gone viral, sparking memories of the Magnum Ego, a quintessential Australian ice cream. Introduced in 1998 but discontinued earlier this year, the ice cream was a summer staple for many households. The original Magnum Ego consists of vanilla ice cream, milk chocolate, caramel, and a final outer shell of milk chocolate. Mr Standbridge, who took over the business just ten months ago, recalled fond memories of Friday night ice-cream runs with his family. The Magnums have been gone from store shelves for so long, and some customers have shared nostalgic stories about hunting for them. The Magnum Ice Cream company is investigating the find and has expressed appreciation for Australians sharing their memories of the product.",
