The crack is the product. Magnum's shell is thicker than a standard coated stick, thick enough to break in plates rather than flake away, and everything else about the bar is built to serve that moment. It works because of temperature. Chocolate sets hard and brittle in the freezer, and the soft ice cream immediately behind it gives way as the shell breaks, so the contrast lands inside a single bite. A thinner coating wouldn't snap and a firmer centre wouldn't yield. The vanilla inside is deliberately plain. On a bar built entirely around its coating, a flavoured centre would pull attention away from the thing the bar exists to do.
