Normally, do you finish pint of ice cream or save some? (coffee, cookie)

[misskittytalks]

I will if I'm ill, and the pint is being consumed to numb my throat, eat a whole one. I'll know it's bad for me, but there's nothing I hate worse than a sore throat because I'm one of those who when I get it, it's never-ceasing.

If I'm not sick and want it wholly for the taste, I'll stretch the pint out for 3-4 days/servings.

A pint is small. I would eat the whole thing.

[Suburban_Guy]

People only eat half of a pint of ice cream?

I thought it was normal behavior to eat the whole darned thing in one sitting

If we splurge, it's on one certain flavor of Haagan Das. We get a pint and split it.

It's gone. Thank goodness, because I probably would eat the entire pint!

I dont indulge that often as I am finally at my desired weight but when I do, its pretty much gone that evening. Private Selection sea salt caramel put into a blender with a bit of milk and scoops of peanut butter. Pure ecstasy.

A co-worker was surprised that I normally eat about a half the pint and save it in the fridge. She says she always eat and enjoy the entire bucket.

hahaha!

I love this question!

I don't tease myself with the pints...I just eat those suckers up within 2-3 hours, one sitting.

Pineapple Coconut is my downfall.

It's true, most nutrition info on the back says one servings = 1/2 cup and each pint has 3.5 servings.

This flavor would be 980 calories in one pint.

Does no one here know what a pint is any more? That flavor would have 1120 calories per pint. The only difference is that a pint has 16 ounces. New math ice cream "pints" have 14 ounces. Pay more, get less.

But certainly with about half the posters here eating the whole container in one sitting it should be no wonder that we have an obesity epidemic. How many cookies are they also eating while shoveling in that ice cream?

It lasts forever, here. Minimal sweet tooth.
