    I thought the calorie discrepancy was because you supposedly couldn't digest and assimilate all of the calories in it so they don't count. I used to really like the stuff but it started disagreeing with me digestionally. It's probably for the best.

    This talk of an additional 68% freaked me out, but in the article someone linked, this paragraph put it into perspective for me:
    The lofty percentage numbers make the implications for Arctic Zero overblown. Realistically we’re talking about a discrepancy of 50-100 calories for an ENTIRE PINT. You shouldn’t be eating an entire pint in one sitting anyway.

    Yes it does. I was tempted to try it until I read that the other day. I will stay far far away.

    "Three of the products actually had fewer calories than the label claimed: the Skinny Cow Cookies n' Cream Truffle Bar, Stonyfield Minty Chocolate Chip Frozen Yogurt, and Ben & Jerry's Fro-Yo Half-Baked. Two others had a bit more calories, but were within 10 percent of the label: Ben & Jerry's Fro-Yo Chocolate Fudge Brownie and Stonyfield's Creme Caramel Frozen Yogurt."

    "Our sample of Arctic Zero Vanilla Maple had a whopping 46 percent more calories than the label. The Chocolate Peanut Butter: an incredible 68 percent more calories."

    I was just about to post what the posted a few above did - that MSNBC tested this for the calorie count and it has 46% - 68% more calories than stated.

    Ok...very excited to hear there is a Pumpkin Flavor!

    I agree with some of the other posters...while I am upset that they can be so far off in their calorie claims, even 252 calories for a whole pint isn't too bad. I can't eat the whole thing at once as it is so I don't think it will make a difference.

    Around me, Whole Foods and Publix Greenwise seems to have a good selection of flavors.
