    I do this with the Vanilla Maple flavor and it is perfect! I like volume :) and teeny tiny scoop of something super premium just wont cut it for me.

    Same thing exactly for me!

    At least you like the flavor. I still would take quality over quantity.

    You can get some lower calorie ice creams from Turkey Hill, Breyers, & Edy's & have 3-4 servings.

    Hasn't Arctic Zero come under fire for having way off calorie counts?

    Having a 4 servings of Breyers' is like a third of my days calories. I like the vanilla maple flavor and find it creamy enough for my tastes but the other flavors are too 'watered down' to me.

    My understanding is that the calorie count per serving is fine for Artic Zero, I think the issue is the claim that the whole container is a certain number of calories which is not always the case.

    I don't like Breyer's. But I definitely don't need 4 servings of Edy's slow churned to be satisfied.

    If you're referring to this, I believe Arctic Zero released some lab results in response.

    I actually enjoy Arctic Zero a lot considering you can eat an entire pint for 150 calories and sometimes I need to feel like I'm indulging and eating a ton just to keep my sanity and prevent an actual binge. My favorite is their chunky cookie dough pint (TONS of cookie dough pieces and chocolate chips!!!). That being said, if you're going to go for one of their higher calorie (300) chunky pints, then I would strongly recommend Halo Top since they're around 240-280 and a billion times better. Both are expensive, though, so if it's something you're looking for that you can do a lot I would suggest maybe a Slow Churned flavor from Edy's, Frozen Yogurt, or some other low calorie ice cream out there. You can even make your own version of Arctic Zero by using protein powder (assuming you have some) and blending it with ice and water (or milk) and then freezing it.

    Oh, and to actually answer your question it all depends on your location (I believe they have a store locator on their website). The Walmart closest to my house stopped carrying them a while ago, but I can still find them in Safeway, Shoprite, Wegmans, and other bigger grocery stores with the other ice creams (except for Wegmans, where it's hidden away with their gluten free stuff for some reason). I also notice some stores carry more flavors than others; I can only find their Chunky pint of Cookie Dough at a certain Shoprite near my house, I've been to other Shoprites that don't have any Arctic Zero products at all! Really hit or miss sometimes!
