    As far as I can tell Enlightened pints don't exist anywhere in the universe, so Halo Top wins so far for me.

    RIGHT?! I can't find them anywhere!!!!!

    I bought and tried 2 different flavors of Halo Top and threw them both out. Taste nothing like icecream and leave a really weird aftertaste. It was so gross.

    Go for Arctic Zero - much better

    I love Halo Top Peanut butter cup one and cookies and cream was yum. Did not like mint chip. The taste was too strong. Enlightened I can't find anywhere.

    I've never had the Enlightened brand. I've read over and over that Halo Top peanut butter cup is amazing, but my personal opinion is that the pb flavor is rather light. My favorite is the chocolate mocha.

    Haven't tried Enlightened pints, but the Enlightened chocolate peanut butter bars were hideous. Had a strange, dry chalky texture. I'd even take ArcticZero over those things. Halo Top is still the best I've tried.

    I have not been able to find the Enlightened pints anywhere and I know I have tried the bars but I prefer the Yasso frozen greek yogurt bars (chocolate chip cookie dough is SO good). But I love Halo Top-the oatmeal cookie, peanut butter, and lemon cake are my favorites. Artic zero has no flavor at all so never waste your money on that.

    Enlightened for me. I finally found it at a Sprouts farmer market. I have tried all of the Halo Top flavors (including the new)...and so far just the Strawberry Cheesecake Enlightened alone has Halo Top beat..but I haven't inhaled the other pints yet, but still. I found enlightened more flavorful and creamier.

    I can not find the Enlightened pints- I like the ice cream bars just fine. I like halo top better- but the price is whew- I do like the yasso bars as well and I can find all 5 flavors here in my little town

    Um...no.

    Halo Top Birthday Cake is awesome (haven't tried any of the new flavors) & around my area we only have the Enlightened bars.

    To update Giant has started to carry Enlightened with only four flavors in stock & I love the Triple Chocolate & the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip is ok. I'm hoping they'll stock more flavors soon & more of the Halo Top.

    The enlightened pints ive tried seem more creamy and not very "Ice creamy" if that makes any sense! I've only had the oatmeal caramel cookie (which tastes really good) and hot chocolate (Which was eh..)

    I just now discovered Halo Top (thanks to posters here!) and LOVE it. I went to buy some Artic Zero last night but Target was sold out of them. I've never heard of Enlightened before?

    If you're talking about caloriewise, it would only be for the creamy pints. Those are completely vile, cookie dough is at least edible.

    I am so happy my local grocery store started to carry a single Halo Top flavor.

    Dont bother with arctic zero! It's basically bland flavored ice!

    Haven't been able to find Enlightened around these parts. Arctic Zero was like eating frozen spit to me and they are way more expensive than Halo Top. I wait for my store to run a sale and snatch them up for $3.50/pint and clear the store out of my favorite flavors.

    I almost bought enlighted the other day but the calories aren't as low, right? At least the brownie something flavor I picked up. I'm so lucky to live in NY we get everything in our stores lol

    Their new line of flavors are anywhere from 60 cals to 100 cals per serving (180 to 300 per pint) so they're pretty comparable to halo tops.

    Actually jk around 240-400 per pint math fail!

    I just bought Halo Top today. Lemon cake, birthday cake, and vanilla bean. Don't care for the lemon cake, but like the other two.

    It's at least lower than Ben & Jerry's, Haagen Dazs, & Talenti for days when you want to inhale a whole pint without too much calorie damage.

    Wal-Mart is starting to carry Halo Top!

    Weis has started to carry the Enlightened pints.

    Better than what? It doesn't taste like anything.

    Better than if you cut milk by 90% with one of those Clear American flavored waters and froze it, perhaps?

    I'm just not impressed with Enlightened. The only two I like enough to buy again are Butter Pecan and red velvet. The 60 calories a serving ones taste like sadness (almond, snickerdoodle).
