Have you ever eaten a whole pint of icecream?

I could sit down and eat a pint of B & J's Dublin Mudslide, Flourless chocolate cake, or Haagen Dazs' coffee or vanilla swiss almond. I wouldn't be hungry for the rest of the day, but it goes down soooooo easy

Yup! I have also eaten an entire can of frosting before in one sitting.

not an icecream kinda girl...so no..I haven't....but an entire bag of chips...no problem!! I used to work at Dairy Queen when I was in highschool, having unlimited access to icecream and all the toppings kind of ruins it I guess.

I'm also part of the "eaten a pint" club. Although it's been quite a long time since I've done it and I generally chose really rich flavors like Phish Food so even I could only get down 1/2 the pint at a time.

Ben & Jerry's now sells single serving containers (3.6oz) of certain flavors. I've been meaning to check them out to see if you still get the "I finished the whole container" satisfaction when it's such a small container.

Oh, and I've eaten frosting straight from the container as well. So nice to know I'm not the only one who has done that!

Yes, many times, though not recently.

ElizabethObviously

a pint is the Ben and Jerry's size right??? yeahhhhh eaten bunch of those though I TRY to only do half and save half for another day. I have Edy's mint brownie in my freezer right now. YUM

Yes many times I am guilty of eating a whole pint of ice cream... Worse ever, I ate an entire viennetta which is ice cream and chocolate layers...mmmm they don't make it anymore or at least it is not here

ARCTIC ZERO IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Crystalchaos72

Yep I sure have........Ben & Jerry's Phish Food is my ultimate favorite! As a matter of fact, I had a whole pint a few weeks ago.....

tameko2

Oh yea! OP- You really haven't??

I haven't either. I think I got close once or twice but for the most part I take a few spoonfuls and put it away. Sometimes I eat as much as half but only when I'm really wanting to eat - otherwise thats just all the ice cream I really want to eat. Didn't grow up with it (lactose intolerant and my family didn't have sweets often) so I never had a habit of filling a huge bowl with ice cream like some people did. Ice cream was something we went otu for and we would get a small scoop in a cone.

A pint for me is nothing. I can finish a 1/2 gallon EASY.. I can't have ice cream in the house or I'll eat it all.. then blame it on the kids when my husband asks where it all went...:embarassed:

Rowann

My husband and I can very easily share a pint... put the pot between us, two spoons, sorted... B&J Cherry Garcia has got to be the nicest ice cream ever.

We then discovered B&J do a frozen yoghurt Cherry Garcia, and it's every bit as lovely as the real stuff, but a lot fewer calories. We discovered this by accident as we didn't notice until the pot was empty that we hadn't actually been eating ice cream... fortuitous mistake...

Sadly, too many to count :blushing:

Yup! I probably shouldn't have read any replies at all, because now I can't stop thinking of how delicious Haagen Daas Peanut Butter would be right now...

that is best flavour ever

or marble slab birthday cake.

hmmm...it's a toss up

i_love_vinegar

how could someone NOT have is the real question!

I dont think ive ever eaten a pint of icecream in one go.
Ive probably eaten half a pint though

Pebble321

Nope, but then icecream isn't really my treat of choice (and I'm not sure how much a pint is anyway)
Cookies, cakes, chocolate (Dairy Milk.... yum!), those I have eaten way more than is good for me at a whole sitting.

I think this is a scary development - surely part of the process of losing weight is to learn about healthy portion sizes, so making artificially low calorie foods that encourage you to stuff yourself doesn't seem like a great idea to me. As usual, I think it is a win for the manufacturer, but a loss for the gullible consumer.

I haven't seen this stuff in Australia, hopefully you can keep it over there in the US!

Jennyisbusy

I am so lactose intolerant that YOU would know if I had ate a whole pint. lol:explode:

i kind of agree. Its kind of encouraging a binge culture if people are expected to actually eat the whole tub. Id have thought a pint of icecream would be at least 4 decent size portions.
Saying that, if someones going to binge anyway, then at least its a low cal way of doing it, although i often find the ultra low cal versions of stuff leave me unsatisfied and with a weird taste in my mouth.

Its not available in the UK anyway

Im sooo lucky that icecream is one of the things I can't over do it on, for some reason it makes me thirsty. Now cheese or bread thats another story!

I have eaten a pint of ice cream many, many times but not recently. I liked the article and want to try Arctic Zero products.

A few years ago I would eat TWO pints in a sitting!!! Can't imagine that now. I like Arctic Zero, which was being carried at my local Whole Foods until recently (don't know where it went!!)...

erinkeely4

Yes it's true, I've NEVER eaten a pint of icecream EVER IN MY LIFE. I don't like sweets. I don't eat candy bars or chocolate. Now if you offer me some french fries or chips and salsa and it's on

Oh my god... I WISH I didn't like sweets!!!

DorkothyParker

Hecks to the yes. I wouldn't even qualify that as a binge. Oh girl, I have binged!

I think a person can eat a pint of ice cream with a healthy mentality behind it (IE not in the throes of a binge). I look forward to trying Arctic Zero. But it's so expensive, I probably won't eat the whole pint in one go.

leilahh

I've managed about 3/4 of a pint in one sitting once but never a pint (not from lack of trying, but I just can't manage it). Even before I started eating healthier I would only have 1/4-1/2 of a pint when I ate ice cream. I guess ice cream isn't my thing (but I do love it). Cookies, on the other hand... Well, I could probably eat an entire bag in one sitting if I wanted.

I've done way worse, but will never do it again--no matter how much I love Ben and Jerry's. I was still a healthy size and in jr. high. Sleeping over at a friend's house and for some reason she ended up really angry with her older sister. So she decided we should eat all the ice cream so she wouldn't be able to have any the next day.

There were three of us and it was one of those plastic gallon size containers of mint chocolate chip.

To this day I cannot eat mint chocolate chip and the very thought of it makes me sick.

Cait_Sidhe

No, I've never been able to eat an entire pint, even if I tried really hard at it. I'm one of those people that didn't get where I am by overeating. I think the most I've been able to eat in one sitting is half. But I usually eat about 1/8 and I'm done.

I really want to try Artic Zero though. While I still wouldn't be able to eat an entire pint, what I can eat would be very low calorie. Since it's made from whey protein, does that mean it's high in protein? I know, stupid question.

helloclaire

I probably have. The thing with ice cream is that you never really get full from it.

Or at least I don't. :P

allie7383

Oh goodness, Phish Food and I were BFF's in college.. My roomie and I would go to the corner store and have movie nights and have our respective pints.. many a time..

LH2011

Never I must be the rare person who does not like ice-cream??? Don't get me wrong it does taste nice but I would not thank you for ice-cream don't buy it and would never order it when out???

laureneva15

I regret seeing this topic, cos I could totally go for some ice cream now.
