I spy red velvet

WHY IS IT THAT YOU ALWAYS FIND THE GOOD NEW FLAVORS FIRST ITS NOT FAIR FIRST HALO TOP AND NOW THIS WHAT STORE WAS THIS???? OK SERIOUSLY THAT RED VELVET GET THAT RED VELVET NOW AND TELL ME HOW IT COMPARES TO HALO TOP.
I find it funny how Halo Top's newer pints have calories closer to the Enlightened's older pints and Enlightened is releasing newer flavors similar in calories to Halo Top's older pints haha what gives? xD
Did you see any of their other new releases?
Bananas Foster, Cold Brew Coffee, and probably Brownie Batter (based upon their flavor reveal yesterday)?

I'm loving all these new ice cream releases!
And those carrot cake donuts look amazing.
I can't tell if I'm excited because of all these new things or because I had way too much caffeine. I tried McDonald's new shamrock iced mocha today and it's so delicious. Honestly it tasted like a sweeter version of their peppermint mocha, but I'm ok with that :')

Dave's killer bread is really good and filling to me.
How does the enlightened pints taste- does it compare to halo top? I know arctic zero is Yucky to me- In my little town we only get one flavor of the enlightened ice cream bars- NO halo top- and all different flavors of arctic zero- ( go figure)

If you don't like Arctic Zero don't worry, Enlightened is NOTHING like it; I actually give Arctic Zero credit though with their cookie dough pint as that has so many mix-ins, it's just their base that needs work. Anywho, Enlightened's pints have more calories than Halo Top (most flavors were around 400 calories compared to Halo Top's older pints which were usually 280 or less). Halo Top is very creamy, and their newer pints with mix-ins aren't all that generous. Halo Top tastes phenominal, but their newer pints are hit or miss (for example, cookies & cream was a major hit for me but their red velvet significantly let me down). Halo Top has a salted caramel flavor and the caramel is AMAZING, but only exists as a small glob that doesn't persist throughout the pint.
Enlightened, on the other hand, I find I have to thaw out a little longer but it also very creamy and has a base that's as flavorful as Halo Top, but their mix-ins are more comparable to Ben & Jerry's in that there's A TON of them! Time will tell how their newer pints hold up since they seem to be cutting the caloric content (I assume it will be more like the creamier Halo Top flavors without mix-ins), but Enlightened is definitely strong in their swirl game. The Triple Chocolate pint and Frozen Hot Cocoa pints have swirls which are slightly gritty, super sweet, and might make you tear up a little over how long you've lived without having it. The Oatmeal Cookie, again, fantastic and blows Halo Top's version out of the water; plenty of caramel and cookie pieces! The Cookie Dough flavor is very comparable to Halo Top, honestly I keep confusing them and I can't remember which brand I like more, they're both remarkable but Halo Top's version is less calories so I give them credit and would buy it more if Enlightened wasn't a dollar less where I live than Halo Top. The Mint Chocolate Chip is good, but I'm not crazy about it because it doesn't have any swirls of chocolate or anything; again, it could be compared to the mint Halo Top but it's green instead of white and has more calories. The Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Enlightened is (in my opinion) the one with the least flavor and is very boring, but again, chocolate chips aren't all that appealing to me and I feel as if they get in the way when I want swirls of chocolate or peanut butter instead! Lastly, the salted caramel Enlightened is very generous with their caramel swirls and I really enjoy it, but this one would definitely rank the highest for me as having the most artificial taste to it since the caramel might taste chemically to those who aren't as used to some of the sweeteners used.
Therefore, I don't favor one brand over the other, I love both and each have their strengths/weaknesses! Usually I stock up on both depending which happens to be on sale, but Shoprite still doesn't have the newer Halo Top flavors so sometimes I'll drive to Wegmans and splurge $5.99 to satisfy that cookies & cream craving I get so often! I'm disappointed one of Enlightened's newer flavors wasn't cookies & cream, perhaps they didn't even want to compete with Halo Top x)
Also, in regards to finding more flavors in your stores I would suggest bringing in a product request form or writing to the store via email!

those look like fairway price signs to me but not 100%

I don't live near one of those The Shoprite near my house usually has them for around 3.99-4.99 a pint, so hopefully the newer flavors won't cost more when they're stocked!
