    I don't live in Canada...but if I did...
    I would eat Kit Kat 70 Dark bars ALL...DAY...LONG.
    They seem to have them in every gas station/airport/grocery store in Canada...I don't know why I can't find them in the U.S. (although that's probably a good thing for me).

    and Kinder Eggs, Canada has Kinder Eggs :)

    AND - in case you haven't heard, coolwhey must have been *kitten* themselves knowing that Halotop was coming so they have now revamped all their products and come out with 7 new flavors that are at or under 360 calories per pint (they were 600 per pint prior).

    It is a happy day for protein ice cream lovers in Canada!!!

    Not sure that's something to be proud of... ;)

    (As the British comedian Bill Bailey called them, "The Eggs of Numbing Inevitability".)

    Saw a whole bunch at Metro yesterday $6.99 reg and $5.99 on sale. The pint size, well, its a pint size. Same as cool whey. I will go back today to buy one and try. But at this crazy price will most likely not re-buy. I mean, I can get the same "fake" ice cream from Breyers at the very same calories per serving and only pay $2.99 for 2L box. I dont care about the protein being there or not at all.

    I agree - as much as I like the stuff (both cool whey and halo top), it is hard to justify paying 6x the price of other ice creams (pints regularly go on sale of smarties, rolo, chips ahoy that taste delicious and have only been a bit more than 400 calories per pint - which up until now was less than cool whey).

    I agree the price is fairly steep comparatively, however regular price at Kroger is 5.99USD so it’s not too bad not in that sense. Now I just don’t need to cross the border when I want some.

    I stopped by Metro at lunch and purchased HT Vanilla Bean, Caramel Machiatto, and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. I wanted to get Mint Chocolate Chip but I didn't see any :(. I'll consider purchasing in the future if I can get through these pints first. I've only tried CoolWhey Chocolate Chip and did not like it at all (still sitting in my fridge). Hopefully these will be okay...

    I should've just purchased one lol. I don't eat much ice cream but the hype was real.

    Thats cause Cool Whey chocolate is horrible. Coconut or salted caramel :)
    After the HT, I'll consider getting the coconut then :). The chocolate was so chocolate-y but didn't leave any chocolate aftertaste. It was strange and confusing.

    By any chance have you tried the Breyers yet? It's stocked at a Walmart 5 mins from where I live but I have too much ice cream on hand already

    stopped and got the peanutbutter swirl halo top. was so excited to see it. 675 ish total on sale. Would rebuy if i REALLY craved bulk icecream, but honestly wasnt THAT impressed. The parts that got melty tasted creamier but first bite was watery. And im easily pleased. Was yummy as i ate it but done fast and i can just buy an icecream cone for like 3$ same calories and it has the cone and caramel or chocolate toppings. I like toppings. Was sad there wasnt like chocolate chunks or something im a chunky icecream person lol

    edit: in future i think ill add like 1$ to a jar everytime i go to the gym and maybe have a halo top treat once every few weeks or something maybe. Maybe. Id like to try all the flavors just because hypeness. Im a sucker for hypness. I mean, I have waited years afterall :p iv also yet to find the breyers one

    Tried the Vanilla Bean and I liked it! It was really creamy (I think I thawed it too much). The first two bites were a little strange but it grew on me. Probably won't be eating more than 1/4th-1/3rd at a time though as I'm already feeling a bit gassy...

    If anyone is interested in Starbucks, they have new Teavana Tea Lattes. Going to try the Blossoming Rose one tomorrow... because it's pink :blush:

    Same here - apparently there's no store selling Halo Top within 100 miles of either Calgary or Edmonton. We'll just convince ourselves it's not worth the hype anyway, huh? :)

    Annoyingly the website says they sell Halo Top at my local grocery, but when I went yesterday there was none.

    I’ve recently discovered Boom Chicka Popcorn. Good flavours, none of that weird stale texture that a lot of bagged popcorns have, and a generous serving is only 100 cal and change.

    I checked at my local Walmart this morning and none of these desserts are available. I am disappoint.

    Yeap. If Cool Whey was not on sale then it would be on par with Halo Top and Breyers now and not worth it for calories. They have to drop prices now and re-think their nutrition to revamp the calories to match or better.

    coolwhey has changed things up - 7 new flavors and way less calories - obviously trying to keep up with halo top - old cool whey still in the stores for now though (hoping to get some for dirt cheap when they need to get it off the shelves for good)..

    Picked up 3 pints to taste test HaloTop from my local Metro yesterday. Cookies and cream was gross, chocolate reminded me of fudgsicles and I did like the salted caramel.

    @crazyravr you're not far from my location...which Walmart did you find the Breyers in? Etobicoke/east Mississauga is barren.

    I love this thread but also find it rather depressing. I am in Victoria and am having a very hard time finding any of these products :(

    I live near Toronto (Whitby) and found Halo Top at my local Metro today. I look at the ice cream freezers maybe once a year, so it would have taken me a long time to stumble on it on my own. Big thanks!

    I looked for the dairy-free Halotop at Metro but found none :s

    Bought Pancake & Waffles and Peanut Butter Swirl Halo Top at my local Superstore after work today. Currently using a wedge and large sledgehammer to make it fit into my macros for today lol. Fortunately I was really busy at work today and logged more distance than usual.

    Still no luck. Halo Top website says my local stupidstore has them, but nope.
