Three hundred calories per pint? So I can enjoy a quarter of a Ben & Jerry’s ice cream pint that has 250 calories or an entire pint of Arctic Zero frozen dessert that has 300 calories. It’s an easy choice. I’d choose to eat potato chips, because I’m not in the mood for something sweet right now. (Spotted by Sylvia at Sprouts.)
