We had ice cream floats at work today....I snuck a peak and saw that the vanilla ice cream was 130 calories per 1/2 cup......I had two scoops of ice cream......and when I say two scoops I mean the ice cream filled the scooper....not like at ice cream shops where they dig and dig to make a giant scoop. Do you all think these two scoops equaled 1/2 cup, or should I figure it was a full cup?

    From personal ice cream (yummy) measuring. 2 scoops (as you described) do not equal a cup of ice cream. 2 scoops barely measure a level 1/2 cup. :bigsmile: :bigsmile: Yea for us ice cream nuts!!
