    Just curious - why are some people miserable after eating Halo Top? Stomach issues? I tried it once, but I didn't like the "sweet n low" after taste. I was going to give it another try, but am hesitant now...

    I had one pint that had that artificial sweetener aftertaste but that's it... my second vanilla one. It was strange.

    But yeah, it gives me diarrhea, pretty much.


    ETA: yes you can order them online but they're a bit more expensive and I assume that shipping isn't cheap. Odd that they don't mention the new flavors though.

    I just read their website. They use stevia and erythritol for their sweetener. Concentrated stevia can cause nausea and stomach upset in some people as it irritates the stomach lining. Erythritol also causes nausea, headaches, diarrhea, and upset stomach.

    I have trouble with some artificial sweetener, but stevia hasn't caused me trouble yet. I will probably avoid Halo Top just because I don't need another bout of IBS.

    FYI the official announcement for the new flavors is Oct 10th, they asked people to take the pictures off their websites.

    So I went to GNC because they mailed me $10 off a purchase of $20 or more and they also had the buy 3 get one free sale. AND they threw in a nitro tech bar for free. Needless to say, this haul only cost me just over $15! Excited especially for the pumpkin fit joy and birthday cake nitro tech bar, I already know I will love the cookies and advanced lean bar xD has anyone tried the ON opti-bar? I haven't seen that before is it new or was I just oblivious?

    Although the erythritol will put me in a serious hurt locker, I'm going to have to try the oatmeal cookie. I love me some oatmeal cookies. 2nd and third choices would be the pistachio and chocolate almond crunch.

    All Noosa yogurt... my friend told me it was the best, I tried it, and it became my new favorite yogurt in the first bite. I especially like the coconut, chai, and pumpkin flavors.

    Also, Trader Joe's pumpkin cream cheese!

    I am so sad that I can't eat Halo Top any more. That Sea Salt Caramel, Pistachio, and the Peanut Butter Cup would all be like crack to me.

    I need to remind myself how miserable I would be afterwards if I gave in and ate it anyway!

    Lol yep. I'll probably still roll the dice and hope for the best (it's only happened half the time after all) and plan it on a day when I'm supposed to stay home anyway...

    Sigh. I suppose I could try not to eat the whole pint at once too.

    As I said though, I probably won't find them anyway. The only place that has birthday cake or mocha chocolate chip in stock is Wegmans and I don't go there much (Whole Foods is always out of stock).

    I go to Wegmans all the time for my Yorkshire Gold tea.

    The new flavors will be taunting me.

    I only buy the 150 calories one, then I can fit one in occasionally (and only the salted caramel ones, lol).

    Thanks to whoever recommended the Giant dips being in the refrigerated section. I went over to Giant on my lunch & spotted two of the flavors, but not the one I wanted. There was a Peanut Butter Cookie Dip & S'Mores, but I wanted just the regular Cookie Dough.

    I also noticed Giant had Turkey Hill Egg Nog ice cream! A little early for that flavor considering no stores have the Turkey Hill or Talenti Pumpkin Pie! I don't look to see the new flavors of Halo Top anytime soon considering Giant just recently got Halo Top in stock & I only go to Wegman's maybe once or twice a year.

    I'm such a fatty & bought two more bags of the Hershey Kisses Birthday Cake flavor, but I was nice or an enabler & gave some to my coworkers.

    All of the GNC goodies all of you have bought recently look yummy.

    I can't find the salted caramel Noosa and I feel like the world is just unfair because of it.

    @fishshark thank you for the suggestion! I looked it up and Target is supposed to carry it-one store near me and the next one 30 miles away. The Target near me never has it and I don't even see a space on the shelf for it.
    I must keep an ice pack in my car at all times so if I find it far away, I can keep it cold.
    Must find it.

    I buy the bigger ones and only eat half. It's the same amount as in one of the little cups. So yummy!

    I buy both sizes. Noosa is my breakfast along with a piece of fruit. What I find frustrating is the price. My grocery store charges .89 for a single 4 ounce size, yet if you buy the pack of 4, they charge $3.99. The large size they charge $1.99. I have to remember to buy 4 singles instead of a pack of 4. How ridiculous

    Nitro tech crunch chocolate peanut butter bar: very dense, filling, and chewy. However, it reminds me of a cheap protein bar you'd get from a gas station and is bland while also very much tasting like protein and to a point some weird artificial sweetener. Definitely will not get again or recommend, tasted nothing like peanut butter but I'm hoping the birthday cake and cinnamon roll one surprise me.

    Birthday cake Hershey's Kisses: tastes like cheap and artificial chocolate from the Dollar Tree so that's disappointing, but the birthday cake flavor was strong and I enjoyed it for what it was. Not something I would get again, but finishing this pack should be no problem.

    Found this at shoprite on sale and it was actually really delicious, full of flavor and pretty low in sodium!

    I just picked up Oatmega chocolate mint protein bars at Walmart, today. Quite tasty! I almost got the lemon Chia ones, but these are so good. 190 calories, 14g protein. Made with organic/grass-fed/responsibly sourced ingredients. I like it!
