    Makes sense, most things that look to good to be true are. I may need to try it though. Hopefully I can make it an acquired taste like I did with the Shirataki noodles hahahah.

    eh….are you really going to eat fake ice cream and fake noodles for life????

    I asked this... apparently good enough works. *shrug* Me I don't eat food that I have to "get used to".

    I tried another brand, but basically the same thing. After tasting it, I actually felt ashamed for buying it because I had read how horrible it was on here but the low calorie count just got me. Horrible. I think it's buried in my freezer somewhere still.

    To me, the issue isn't sugar. I taste the sweetness in veggies and raw almonds just fine. That's a straw man argument.

    This is about texture and body. Arctic Zero is missing FAT. When I eat ice cream or gelato, I want the body that fat gives it.

    I'd rather have a half serving of Talenti for 100 calories than a tub of sadness with no body to it.

    This.

    There was a lawsuit regarding the calorie count posted on the cartons. Apparently there are 68% MORE calories in the product that is listed on the carton. You might want to look into it...not sure what the outcome was though...

    There have apparently been a couple. Wheels of justice turn slowly, I guess.

    I like the cookies and cream.. I microwave it for a bit first (makes it creamier) and add a little chocolate syrup and I really like it...

    Vanilla Maple, Cookie Shake & Salted Caramel are really good. All the other flavors are awful. Got to let it melt and get soft before you eat it. Throw some fat-free whip cream and some Walden Farm chocolate syrup on there, so good!

    By that time you already have eaten the same amount of calories than a serving of good ice cream or gelato.

    Quality over quantity for me, thanks.

    Cardboard lies!! Save calories for real ice cream..like Talenti! ;)

    Talenti Sea Salt Caramel. If it had double the calories it would still be worth it!

    Personally, I hate it. It tastes like sweet, slimy, unflavored italian ice. I'd much rather have a 220 cal, 58 gram serving of blackberry crumble ice cream than an entire pint of Arctic Zero. But not everyone's tastes are the same. Buy a pint and see if you hate it. Maybe you won't. Maybe you will. At least you tried.

    I had 2 servings of the Toasted Almond and do not regret one delicious bite.

    Thanks for the advice/input. Much appreciated! Will definitely have to give it a go. It does sound like a great base for a smoothie or something.

    Based on the resounding "it's terrible, don't bother, just eat the real thing", you're really going to give it a go?
