Weight Watchers Ice Cream

22 May

I’m in love. Or is it merely lust?

Oh, Yes!

Great photo on the box cover. Isn’t subliminal advertising subtle?

Nonetheless, Madison Avenue knows I  scream, you scream, we all holler like crazy for it!  Yes. Low calorie ice cream.

One of these highly satisfying, heavenly treats is only 80 calories, can you believe it?

Why have one dark chocolate raspberry ice cream bar when you can have two?

Two bars… 2 x 80 = 160 calories. Not too bad…

 

But, no!  The box says 1 bar = 80 calories and 2 bars = 170 calories.

Do the math, dudes at Weight Watchers. What’s with the extra 10 calories when I down two bars? Does that mean if I savor four bars (hmmm, not that I would) is it an extra 20 calories? Or is it like the Richter scale, increasing exponentially?

Is the extra 10 calories some kind of diet penalty?

I have contacted the generous and marketing savvy people at Weight Watchers regarding this error. I’m hoping they will reward me with Weight Watchers ice cream ’til death or ’til I gain 25 pounds – whichever comes first.

    Let me know when you get an answer. I’m going to be waiting to have my two ice cream bars…popsicles…sticks? Oh, whatever!

      Maybe they are counting the calories in a stick?

    Some folks probably do eat the sticks or maybe that subliminal advertising allows for the frolic in bed and the residue of all that! Yuck. Come to think of it that picture grosses me out and I don’t want any of this stuff ever! LOL
    Funny post though and I hope you receive a lifetime supply. If you have any connections with Nutella let me know–

      Ha, Nutella – now we’re talking sex addiction.

    So do 3 bars have 250 calories? Fork ‘em over. Sounds like dinner to me!

      Dinner or an appetizer :)

    Fro yo has become the rage in my town. A healthy alternative, unless you cover it in mounds of candy like my kids do!

    • Barb Best May 24, 2012 at 10:56 am #

      I agree with your savvy kids! Fro yo naked just doesn’t satisfy like fro yo with rainbow sprinkles and cookie dough chunks. Yo?

    Because I like you so darn much, I am willing to regularly eat 4 of these at one time. I will let you know what happens. I’m guessing you may hear from me, prior to your new friends at WW!

      Why thank you, Julie. Excellent idea! There are 12 bars to a box, so a box will last 3 days if you’re lucky. Here are the other flavors if you tire of dark chocolate raspberry Weight Watchers

    THIS IS MY FAVORITE ICE CREAM EVER!!! I have TWO boxes of them in my freezer. I actually shun one particular grocery store because it doesn’t carry them. I try to stop at one, but it really is too hard!
