    I could sit down and eat a pint of B & J's Dublin Mudslide, Flourless chocolate cake, or Haagen Dazs' coffee or vanilla swiss almond. I wouldn't be hungry for the rest of the day, but it goes down soooooo easy :love:

    not an icecream kinda girl...so no..I haven't....but an entire bag of chips...no problem!! I used to work at Dairy Queen when I was in highschool, having unlimited access to icecream and all the toppings kind of ruins it I guess.

    I'm also part of the "eaten a pint" club. Although it's been quite a long time since I've done it and I generally chose really rich flavors like Phish Food so even I could only get down 1/2 the pint at a time.

    Ben & Jerry's now sells single serving containers (3.6oz) of certain flavors. I've been meaning to check them out to see if you still get the "I finished the whole container" satisfaction when it's such a small container.

    Oh, and I've eaten frosting straight from the container as well. So nice to know I'm not the only one who has done that! :)

    Oh yea! OP- You really haven't??

    I haven't either. I think I got close once or twice but for the most part I take a few spoonfuls and put it away. Sometimes I eat as much as half but only when I'm really wanting to eat - otherwise thats just all the ice cream I really want to eat. Didn't grow up with it (lactose intolerant and my family didn't have sweets often) so I never had a habit of filling a huge bowl with ice cream like some people did. Ice cream was something we went otu for and we would get a small scoop in a cone.

    A pint for me is nothing. I can finish a 1/2 gallon EASY.. I can't have ice cream in the house or I'll eat it all.. then blame it on the kids when my husband asks where it all went...:embarassed:

    My husband and I can very easily share a pint... put the pot between us, two spoons, sorted... :) B&J Cherry Garcia has got to be the nicest ice cream ever.

    We then discovered B&J do a frozen yoghurt Cherry Garcia, and it's every bit as lovely as the real stuff, but a lot fewer calories. We discovered this by accident as we didn't notice until the pot was empty that we hadn't actually been eating ice cream... fortuitous mistake... ;)

    Yup! I probably shouldn't have read any replies at all, because now I can't stop thinking of how delicious Haagen Daas Peanut Butter would be right now...

    that is best flavour ever

    or marble slab birthday cake.

    hmmm...it's a toss up

    Nope, but then icecream isn't really my treat of choice (and I'm not sure how much a pint is anyway)
    Cookies, cakes, chocolate (Dairy Milk.... yum!), those I have eaten way more than is good for me at a whole sitting.

    I think this is a scary development - surely part of the process of losing weight is to learn about healthy portion sizes, so making artificially low calorie foods that encourage you to stuff yourself doesn't seem like a great idea to me. As usual, I think it is a win for the manufacturer, but a loss for the gullible consumer.

    I haven't seen this stuff in Australia, hopefully you can keep it over there in the US!

    i kind of agree. Its kind of encouraging a binge culture if people are expected to actually eat the whole tub. Id have thought a pint of icecream would be at least 4 decent size portions.
    Saying that, if someones going to binge anyway, then at least its a low cal way of doing it, although i often find the ultra low cal versions of stuff leave me unsatisfied and with a weird taste in my mouth.

    Its not available in the UK anyway

    Im sooo lucky that icecream is one of the things I can't over do it on, for some reason it makes me thirsty. Now cheese or bread thats another story!
