    You guys must be eating really small portions of this stuff to have it fit in your calorie limit. I love premium ice cream but even a very small half cup serving has a lot of calories.

    I, personally, do about a cup of froyo at a time. Half baked is only 200 calories a serving after all.

    Cherry Garcia Froyo is my favorite behind the P. Food Froyo. I would suggest checking that out.

    Dude, I will totally cry my way through 15 minutes on the arc trainer for some ice cream. I love me some delicious ice cream.

    I exercise, and sometimes don't care and eat it anyways.
    I finished one pint in 48 days. Froyolooooo.
    (BJs froyo has less cals/fat/ect than their regular counterparts anyways.)

    Just get the ice cream. New York Fudge Chunk and Chocolate Therapy are delicious. I usually eat the entire pint in one sitting. :x

    Eh, I go in between. But I've found that I prefer their froyo flavors over the regular ice cream. If I had to pinpoint why, I think it's because it sits a little less heavy in my stomach, and also because I can eat way more of the froyo than I can the ice cream, and have it fit in my macros (on the days where I give two diddlies about my macros, haha.)

    Wow that is super disappointing! I love Half Baked. I get the ice cream and not the fro yo though. Maybe that makes a difference? It shouldn't.
    Now I want some Half Baked. Sabotage!!

    I've had both (HB ice cream and froyo), and they have had the same amount of add ins! Only difference was one was ice cream, and the other froyo.

    Except this one pint, which ascended from the depths of heck and found its way in my shopping cart this week.

    I frequently get the Half Baked FroYo, it's my favorite - they spoil me with the mix ins per pint! Sounds like you just got extremely unlucky... I would email them. They will respond to your email more than a Facebook post, trust me. If for whatever reason that doesn't work, call them. They'll make up for it!

    i hate the milk and cookies flavor because the whole time there is only like, cookie crumbs in it. at which point i swear i will never get it again.

    then at the bottom there are like two almost whole cookies. which makes me like it and inclined to buy it again. its a vicious cycle!

    Cherry Garcia is my absolute favorite. I don't buy any other kind of Ben and Jerrys because I too, was disappointed by their cookie dough flavor. But I love love love Cherry Garcia, it hasn't disappointed me ever.

    Any time I have complained about the quality or quantity of a product, I've always gotten first an automated response, then an email which always states they are sending me coupons for free products. Once I bought a box of fiber one brownies (I thing they were fiber one) and instead if 6 brownies, I got 5 brownie an one packet of air! I think I got like $15 worth of coupons from the company.

    Pretty much the same deal here. Most recently it was a box of Clif Z bars (minis) with 2 of them packaged incorrectly so they were half opened. Although that was different (yet awesome) because they actually mailed me a replacement box of the same product instead of a coupon for another one or dollar(s) off.

    Call them.

    Their customer service is exemplary. Or at least it has been in the recent past.

    Not true.

    Ben & Jerry's & Talenti have a higher calorie amount, but you can have a higher gram amount per serving than regular ice creams. With regular ice creams there's a smaller gram amount per serving but you can find some that have decent calories. It's not that hard to find some to fit into your diet calorie wise.
