        <content>I almost always end up eating an entire pint of Ben &amp; Jerry's, even though it's too much. I thought I'd give the smaller size a try, and see if it was satisfying.
 
The only flavor my local Safeway had in this size was Cherry Garcia. They were being sold for 4 for $5 (on sale).
 
First of all, these little things are even smaller than they seem. They have an extra compartment holding a stubby little spoon. The amount of ice cream is less than 4 fluid ounces.
 
Worse, the chunks of chocolate and cherry were much smaller! Isn't that what Ben &amp; Jerry's is all about? Big Chunks?
 
Anyway, another failed experiment at ending my ice cream gluttony.

      <content>Look for the Drumstick type ice cream cones they just came out with, miuch more satisfying, but still self limiting.</content>

      <content>Seems like a lot of wasted cardboard box for that cone.</content>

      <content>Yeah, I'd like to see them in six packs or better instead of triples, then my wife and I wouldn't have the oddball to fight over.

      <content>LOVE LOVE LOVE the lil Ben's.  Haagen Daz also has little cups too in Southern California.  Just picked three up the other night when I was jonesin' for plain chocolate ice cream.  OMG SOOOooO good!  I never finish a pint and then it gets the icky ice crystals on the ice cream by the time I want more. Blech!</content>
