How often do you go out for ice cream

[Anonymous]

I'm sad for your kids.

Seriously? Not pp, but the kids allowed to shovel ice cream in their mouths on a nearly daily basis are the ones to feel sorry for. American gluttony is disgusting. And I'm American.

Please. My family is not American and we eat dessert regularly. Ice cream in the summer almost daily. However, we will walk or ride our bikes a mile into town to get dessert and ride home.

It's not the dessert that's the problem, although your food has crappy ingredients, it's the fact that Americans drive everywhere.

I bet that you don't have a career outside the home, amirite?

I don't think that counts as ice cream.

It's not even made with milk. I wouldn't allow that crap into my body.

The first ingredient is milk:

VANILLA REDUCED FAT ICE CREAM
Allergens: MILK
Ingredients: Milk, Sugar, Cream, Nonfat Milk Solids, Corn Syrup Solids, Mono- and Diglycerides, Guar Gum, Dextrose, Sodium Citrate, Artificial Vanilla Flavor, Sodium Phosphate, Carrageenan, Disodium Phosphate, Cellulose Gum, Vitamin A Palmitate.

And wherever you're getting 6 ice creams for $20, let me know. That's an unbelievable deal.

We just got three kiddie scoops at Brookville Market in CCMD for less than $6 a couple of days ago. Gifford's ice cream - the blueberry is amazing.

1-2x/month in the summer is plenty. Call me cheap but it ends up being about $5/person at the ice cream place, and there's no way I'm dropping a $20 multiple times in a week for ice cream. For me it is about cost. We tend to have ice cream half gallons at home during the summer and it takes about a month or more to use one up, so maybe we're just not into it?

Where exactly are you people finding "half gallons" in this era? A typical ice cream carton is 1.5 quarts.

Are you unfamiliar with colloquialisms or are you just argumentative? Does it also bother you when people call facial tissue Kleenex or cotton swabs Q-tips? Everyone knows what is being referred to when somebody says "half-gallon."

Not pp, but what's your point?

A few times a summer. I would like to go more, but my son has too many other sources of sugar that he prefers. So, poor me

We are in the same boat. My kids are meh about ice cream. They would rather stay home play and eat what is in the freezer.

To be fair, McDonald's doesn't even call it ice cream themselves.

It's just described as a 'creamy soft serve':

I used to eat them when I was on Weight Watchers because they're a reasonably low calorie treat. (But I fully acknowledge that it's crap)
