This just answered my other question. I'll be sure to measure my bulk ice
cream if and when we buy some.

Thanks to your suggestion to WEIGH rather than measure my ice cream
portions, I've found it much easier control this now than in the past.
Frozen ice cream doesn't conform easily to a measuring cup. Just
getting it out of the container is a challenge--I'm either breaking
off tiny chunks or grabbing half the carton. So throwing it on the
scale and seeing all those tiny chunks add up without also having to
squeeze it into a cup makes it easy and worry-free.

We've had the ice cream sandwiches and bars all year. They just added the
bulk ice cream recently.

Hi Fellow Losers,
In Costco yesterday I found "Slim Cow" ice-cream sandwiches and bought a
box of them. Haven't been able to find "Skinny Cows" but the Slim Cow
has about 3 points. How many in Skinny Cows? I wonder if they are the
same thing with a different name in Canada.
Regardless of the name they are very yummy! Julie

Chocolate Cake? Did someone mention chocolate cake?

You will know it when you see it! Very dark chocolate. Quite tall
and very heavy. I did have a piece last night - what a buzzzzzzz.

I think that when I sliced it up, I got about 12 pieces out of it
maybe 14. It appears to freeze well. Last night's piece was not dry.

It is also not all natural like the one I made with 40 pounds of
butter and chocolate but.....

what exactly would that chocolate cake be called? G

It's funny, because the thought of scooping into measuring cups never once entered
my mind. Guess it's that laziness in me ... using measuring cups would have meant
washing an extra dish! LOL Bowl goes right on the scale, icecream into the bowl
.... one dish, over and done with. Most all of my food was/is portioned this way
.... pasta, rice, etc. I found it so much easier to use that scale. I also felt
it was much more accurate. Using measuring cups it was easier to put just that
extra bit in ... using the logic that it still was WITHIN the cup so must be a
cup. G The scale didn't seem to lie ... ounce, gram, whatever ... I KNEW
exactly what I was eating and had to account for every little bit.

If you mean the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Dough ice cream, the
carton says a serving size is 74 grams. I figure I'm getting MORE ice
cream for the same 2 points as a sandwich because I'm NOT eating those
silly wafers. Just the good stuff. Had a 74g serving tonight. Stayed
within points. I'm satisfied.

I only buy one container at a time as I just don't eat it often enough to go

Depends on which Skinny Cow you get. The vanilla or chocolate
flavored
sandwiches are 2 points. I highly reccomend trying the new smores
flavor.
Excellent.

If you mean the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Dough ice cream, the
carton says a serving size is 74 grams. I figure I'm getting MORE ice
cream for the same 2 points as a sandwich because I'm NOT eating those
silly wafers. Just the good stuff. Had a 74g serving tonight. Stayed
within points. I'm satisfied.

Frozen ice cream doesn't conform easily to a measuring cup. Just
getting it out of the container is a challenge--I'm either breaking
off tiny chunks or grabbing half the carton. So throwing it on the
scale and seeing all those tiny chunks add up without also having to
squeeze it into a cup makes it easy and worry-free.
