    Never heard of it before this post. Found it and ate the whole pint of chocolate today, it's really good! I do wish the sodium was lower though, but I made it fit into today's macros. Yum, I'm going to have to check out the other flavors.

    Artificial sweeteners, it's like drinking a Diet Coke. It will kill your body but keep your calories in check. Don't eat too often

    I just picked up my first pint the other day of Salted Caramel. I haven't dug into it yet. Another thing I picked up that is really good is Dole Dippers. They are dark chocolate covered strawberry halves or bananas. They also had pineapple...but I didn't grab one. They are 60 and 100 calories for a pack and satisfy my sweet tooth!

    It is interesting to me, how many of you say that you buy a pint and then you eat the entire thing. The most prominent sweetener in this is erythritol. It is not really good stuff. And, one of the bad things about it, is that it keeps your brain from registering satiation, so you just keep eating it. It is also known to cause gastric problems like diarrhea constipation and bloating, and also can cause headaches. Just be cautious, OK?

    I've never eaten a whole pint at once, the $12 price tag per tub stops that.. Plus 200g is pleny enough for me.

    As for the stomach issues. I have a cast iron gut, nothing gives me a dodgy tummy.

    $12? I only pay $5 for mine!

    Why the hate for Halo Top? I just started seeing it at my local grocery store in Virginia ...I think it's like 3.99 maybe? I might have to try to see what the hype is about.

    Not like any ice cream is 'healthy' so it's a good treat but not something to eat daily, in my opinion. But great as a rare treat because to me it tastes great and I live the nutrition profile much more than Ben & Jerry's.

    I keep wanting to try this stuff. I usually get Skinny Cow. Does anyone know if Wal Mart carries it?

    I have never tried any of the Halo Top. It's a bit pricey and I've always been a bit concerned about the possible "side effects" of eating too much. Hen

    I'm in Australia, just about everything is over double the price than in America. I've scaled it down to 100g a serve, and mix cottage cheese in with the halo top (Chocolate) , so now i get around 3 serves per tub, rather than 2. I can't afford $6 per bowl for icecream!

    @domeofstars we can get Halotop here. Woolies is starting to get it in, in some states. I'm down South, and get mine from Foodland, our Woolies is getting it in soon.

    It's $10 in Woolworths and $12 in Foodland.

    You can find a list of stockists here: https://www.halotop.com.au/

    I thought the Birthday cake tasted pretty much the same as Vanilla, but with a few speckles sprinkled through, and birthday cake has more calories than Vanilla.

    I just bought the Birthday Cake kind for tomorrow or the next day ((not enough cals tonight.)) I hope it's good. I almost got the Salted Caramel but it was like 60 more calories or so- so I thought I'd try this one instead. I've had the Lemon Cake and the Mint Chip and both were decent.

    I love the birthday cake! Tastes like the blue bunny birthday cake version to me!
