I was in the grocery store with Helaine this afternoon. She said I looked like a deer in the headlights. Guess I don’t go often enough.
I stopped dead in my tracks at the end of the frozen food aisle. There was a barrel shaped freezer standing on floor. Inside a sign from Edy’s claimed single serve ice cream!
I opened the lid and reached in.
Is this a joke? Someone tell me who considers this a single serving.
This is more like an ice cream appetizer.
Haa Haa!! Love it :o)
I like the way you think, Geoff Fox! And I’m in complete agreement!
You should try the Apple Pie ice cream. That’s the only size I could find it in.
It’s a taste…just a taste.
We don’t keep ice cream in the house. Too much temptation. When I really, really need a taste, I find those little ones are just enough. But the Ben & Jerry’s. Gotta make it count.
Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Those used to be half gallons! I hate this downsizing trend!!!!
What is amazing is how much they cost! $1.50 for those little ones compared to 3.99-5.99 for the big ones. You get much more than 3-4 times the smaller size in the larger size. You’re really just paying for packaging.
Portion control….why do you think USA has an obesity crisis?????? All things in moderation….single serving 3x/day…..hahahahaha
If you can control your own portions, then this makes no sense. People love convenience. What they really end up doing is eating two of these, instead. Honestly, a real ‘serving’ is what they would call a serving and a half.
I just can’t eat those kinds of ice cream anymore. From a national brand, it is Ben & Jerry, but I would prefer to stick with local options such as Farmers Cow, Shady Glenn, or the Uconn Dairy Bar.
Oh but Ben – if you CAN’T control your own portions, these make perfect sense!
I can put away a pint of Ben & Jerry’s in one sitting no problem so sometimes when I’m doing my weekly shop I’ll buy two of these from Ben & Jerry’s for a little treat for my husband and I. Only one each so there’s nothing more to eat.
Technically, that *IS* the single serving. We Americans just tend to eat way more than that and call it a single serving.
I guess for a little treat so you won’t eat the whole gallon.
Hey remember the hoodsie cups I know they still sell them. I guess if you had any ice cream in your freezer last week you would have to throw it out if you lost power anyway I think we
all need a treat this week.
I bought a bag of Emerald Harmony Trail Mix. The serving size is 30 grams. So I weighed out 30 grams worth on our kitchen scale. It came to a grand total of about 12 nuts/raisins! Of course these companies then base their nutrition information on the package based on that ludicrous an amount.
hahahaha how true Geoff. My single serving is a nice banana split for two but all for myself.
It’s a test….it’s only a test… it’s a test to see how much control you have! IF you eat the appetizer….can you STOP or must you now go back to the store and get yourself a pseudo-half gallon! 🙂
