    Ha Ha!! You mean like the FiberOne bars do? No they don't do that!! I totally reccomend them. Especially the vanilla cones with caramel in the middle!! Awesome!!

    The strawberry ice cream sandwiches are amazing. I don't know if you're lactose intolerant, but they've never given me a problem.

    The mint choc chip icecreams are really yummy with little choc drops in.

    The chocolate brownie ones were a disapointment though. Not remotely chocolatey enough and not sweet either. I tried them after the mint ones with high expectations.

    I actually also love these - like someone else mentioned, they're not liek the "fake ice cream" the sweeteners in this don't leave that weird texture in your mouth, and they are just all around delicious. Unfortunately, I find that in comparison to the U.S. - they are ridiculously over priced here in Canada so I don't buy them often :(

    To everyone mentioning lactose intolerance, I'm not, haha. It's because most "low or no sugar" snacks tend to give me that uncomfortable tummy feeling, lol. Some do, some don't, which is why I wanted to get feedback before I went out and spent the money on them. For example, slow churned ice cream = bad for business, not good. Unfortunately, I haven't seen them sold individually so boxes would be the only option, haha. But thank you everyone for the awesome feedback. I'm really excited. I like my ice cream, so to have something other than plain vanilla would be awesome.

    I've seen lots of chatter about Skinny Cow here...so I recently checked them out. I checked the ingredient list first...and I didn't like what I saw. For example, Chocolate Fudge Ice Cream Cone:

    Skim milk, cone [wheat flour, sugar, palm oil, soy lecithin, caramel color, salt], sugar, corn syrup, cone coating [sugar, coconut oil, salatrim, cocoa powder, soy lecithin, artificial flavor], fudge topping [high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, water, cocoa processed with alkali, sugar, modified corn starch, salt, mono and diglycerides, vanilla, natural flavor, artificial flavor], polydextrose, cocoa processed with alkali, whey protein, calcium carbonate, cream, Inulin (Dietary Fiber), natural flavor, Propylene Glycol Monostearate, microcrystalline cellulose, Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose, guar gum, monoglycerides, carob bean gum, sorbitol, vitamin A palmitate, carrageenan, salt

    HFCS? I'll pass. Propylene Glycol Monostearate? We use prooylene glycol to deice our aircraft. :D

    I'll work harder to 'earn' normal ice cream before I eat a bunch of chemicals - no matter how low calorie!

    I saw this topic and went to their site to do the same research. Sadly, I agree with you. :( High in sugars (and not the good kind). I'm sure it fits into many people's diets...so good for them. Not for me though. When/if I go to cheat with some ice cream, I'll get the real deal!

    [sarcasm]Yeah because eating real heavy cream and refined sugar is FAR healthier.... [/sarcasm]
    (not to mention I'm sure many ice creams have just as many chemicals in them unless you're getting an especially natural one)

    Dunno if you need any more positive feedback buuuut I LOVE them! I've had all the personal size ones (especially when I had my wisdom teeth out), sandwiches, now I'm on the truffles. They taste awesome, have great selections, and are low calorie.

    I echo the sentiments on the real ice cream. That ingredient list is just . . . wrong ;(

    I used to eat them all the time, the ice cream sandwich and also the cup. Sounds like they have even more products out!

    Right now I am having 40 calorie no sigar added Fudgsicle, tho. I think the flavor is better. And if I suck the whole thing it lasts a long time (instead of biting and chewing it.)

    I'm a big fan of the skinny cow. The mint ice cream sandwiches are to die for! Also, the new chocolate bars and peanut clusters are excellent as well.

    Tried the chocoloate truffle the other night. Delicious, but then I had stomach cramps all night (and I have an iron stomach). Tried it again, same thing again. I'm very disappointed, but my husband is not.

    Love the Skinny Cow little ice cream cups-Dream Cone and love their bars. Their candy/treats are awesome as well!!

    I also had the same problem with the cramping. Trying to rule out the Skinny Cow. It will be a sad day for me if true. They have good flavor even if they are full of chemicals.

    I've never bought one that I didn't have to scrape a 1/4 inch layer of ice off of. ick.

    I know, I'm weird, I'll eat all manner of chemicals, but freezer burn it and I'm out.

    Sounds like you need to shop at a better store...

    ...in a better town I guess, I've had this happen at both walmarts, both krogers, both albertsons, and every convenience store I've tried in town. I just go for the nestle drumstick now, nice and reliable.
