Review on Halo Top vs Arctic Zero:
They both taste a bit foreign from regular ice cream which is to be expected considering how low in cals they are. But Arctic Zero more than Halo Top. Arctic Zero has a very frozen ice texture and little sugar while Halo top has a more ice cream like texture but a bit of a chalky taste to it. But because it tastes more like ice cream, I would highly recommend Halo Top if you are looking for a quick fix without all the cals that normal ice cream has. If you like Quest bars then you will definitely like Halo Top but if you prefer frozen ice desserts then Arctic Zero is for you. Personally for me, I won't be buying Arctic Zero anytime soon. Now Halo Top needs to come to Walmart so I can get some all the time esp during pms time lol.
Oh and I got both on sale for $4. Regular price for both is almost $7. Lucky Day for me.

I love halo top2

I found the view helpful. I'd not seen or heard of either of these. Based on the OP, I think I'll skip looking for them.2

Yes.
Maybe you should drown your feelings in some Halo Top.3 -

Arctic zero is terrible3

And halo top is amazing2

I'm in Canada and can't get either, not that I'd spend $8 for a pint of anything except maybe vodka ice.0

I've not tried either, but I feel like regular ice cream isn't that calorific. Most are 150 calories or less for 1/2 cup. Is it really worth the money?0

Most are 170-300+ calories for a serving unfortunately! That's a pretty big difference.
Even Edy's slow churned is 90-110 calories a serving, but it doesn't have all the protein and fiber that Halo Top has. I know that I can tell the difference - a pint of Halo Top is actually a pretty filling snack. Unfortunately, I can tell the difference in my bank account as well, lol.2 -

I'm fine without the protein and fiber, though. When I eat ice cream it's not for nutrition but for pleasure.

When you are extremely sad or going through a tragic event or just having major pms yes it will be
Regular ice cream servings add up when you are hormonal or just sad at least for me it does.0 -

Lol exactly why I am so glad I caught it on sale for 3.99. I won't be getting either again unless its on sale.0 -
I've had issues with binging in the past and have found it better to try avoiding that kind of thinking.enterdanger wrote: »I've not tried either, but I feel like regular ice cream isn't that calorific. Most are 150 calories or less for 1/2 cup. Is it really worth the money?

This is what happens if you spend $7 on stevia-flavored ice pretending to be ice cream.....1 -

I don't plan on having an episode anytime soon but I have to be realistic because **** happens. I'm not saying that I should binge on ice cream when I am sad or hormonal but sometimes it happens. Good thing I am not a real big ice cream person though. My problem is cake and cookies.
Now when they make Halo Top cake and cookies then I am in trouble lol but I don't have that stuff in my house anymore to avoid it and just go out and get it when I am craving it. That way I won't set myself up for failure.0 -

If I was a big beer fan I would probably agree but I don't drink beer for the taste. I drink it to get wasted. 1 -
I can get Halo Top here in Phoenix for $4.50 at a local chain, Fry's Market. Mm mm.
Fry's also started carrying Creamies. 120 calories of chocolate deliciousness. (Utah people know what these guys are.)0 -

I had a bite of the pint of chocolate Halo Top my friend had the other day. It was in no way, shape, or form icy. I was quite surprised. I've tasted regular ice creams that were icier and less creamy than that spoonful. Now I'm not going to pay full price as I don't crave sweets often, but I'll definitely grab a pint or two when it's on sale.
ETA: I checked the label of hers. The first three ingredients were milk, cream, and eggs.0 -

Vodka is the answer
