1. Yah gotta keep an eye out for these things. I see nice flavors, then realize not full fat.🙄

There are new brands in stores and they can be deceiving. Almost happened to me.

2. I definitely should have paid better attention

3. No, it's understandable. Happens to me with some products. 😉

4. Never tried Ben and Jerry's.

For years and years, I've been hearing about how good Ben and Jerry's ice cream is. So, every time somebody recommends it to me, I say, okay, the next time I go to the grocery store, I'll get some and try it. But then, when I get to the grocery store, I can't find Ben and Jerry's chocolate ice cream. Why can't I ever find chocolate? There are all these crazy exotic weird flavors, but never any CHOCOLATE! So every time that has happened, I always ended up buying Hagen Dazs chocolate ice cream instead. Hagen Dazs is really good ice cream too, and they have it in CHOCOLATE! Until I can find Ben and Jerry's chocolate ice cream, I never will try Ben and Jerry's ice cream. Chocolate is the only flavor of ice cream I ever eat, it's the only flavor of ice cream I ever want.

5. I don't think they do a straight chocolate

They do a brownie chocolate. All their flavors have stuff mixed in. Cherry Garcia is awfully good.

6. I love their chocolate

However I can only get it on the rare occasions when I am near a Ben and Jerry's store.
The supermarkets only have the chocolate with chocolate brownie. Frustrating!

9. Trust me...as a serious dark Chocoholic Ben & Jerry's....

Either

New York Super Fudge Chunk:
Chocolate ice cream, pecans, choc fudge covered almonds, dark choc chunks, and (I pick 'em out);white choc chunks

Chocolate Therapy
Chocolate ice cream, chocolate fudge, and something else? I forgot.

Both of these are *wonderful*!!

Also Talenti's
Double Dark Chocolate
Chocolate plus seriously little dark chocolate bits

This is dark chocolate delight!

13. I sincerely hope this is the worst problem you're presently facing. (nt)

7. Personally, I hate diaries in my ice cream

The pages get stuck in my teeth

8. Okay, very clever

I'll correct it.

14. English major agrees

12. Not enough fat to be satisfying. I once got yogurt Cherry Garcia by mistake. I ate the whole pint

I would normally eat 1/3 to 1/2 at one sitting, not the whole thing at one go. When I eat ice cream, I want the fat. The lower fat concoctions make it up with sugar, which is just not as satisfying. Coconut based stuff can almost be satisfying, but not soy, rice or other things used for fake ice cream.

15. Thanks for the head's up

And beware of the "gluten-free" Mongolian Beef lunch bowl at P.F. Chang's. I ordered it by mistake and yuck. Unless you're allergic to gluten, steer clear. Gluten-free soy and hoisin sauce DO NOT taste the same as regular.

16. You know where almond milk comes from, don't you?

[iemanja]

17. I always wondered.
