Yeah man, Turkey Hill is most definitely an underrated brand of ice cream IMO.

You guys are *******s... Sweet sweet *******s....

FUUUUUUUUUUU this cut.

FUUUUU

aer_vlad · 07-02-2009, 03:53 PM

The light versions are coined "froyo"...right? Not all flavors come this way, just Half Baked uhh...any other ones??

Do the light versions taste comparable? Or is the diminished taste worth the fewer calories? If it's too much of a difference, I might just go ahead with the full fat/sugar/maximum yum version and pound that.

Agreed. The cookies n cream is great. Prolly the best cheap ice cream you can get - better than breyers.

I tried that, and some parts of it were wayyyy too sweet. Good, but I'd prefer to just buy a cinnabon.

seattlems333 · 07-02-2009, 04:16 PM

I don't see what all the fuss is about for the Cinnamon Bun ice cream. I've tried it and thought it was okay, but nothing spectacular. Maybe it's because I'm not a fan of dough bits in my ice cream, like in Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. Anyway, Mint Chocolate Cookie is still my favorite, but Coffee Heath Bar Crunch, Chunky Monkey, and Phish Food are all great, too. I'd like to try Imagine Whirled Peace and Cherry Garcia, both of those sound great.

Like I said, Mint Chocolate Cookie is my favorite

Nah, they're all unopened (you can see the plastic seal around the lids). I didn't eat them all at once, of course; I just stocked up on them 'cause the store doesn't always have them in stock.

There's the "Light" ice creams, which are still ice cream but with less fat. They have some flavors in that such as Phish Food and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough.

There's also the "FroYo", short for frozen yogurt, which have significantly less fat. Some of the flavors for that are Half Baked and Chocolate Fudge Brownie.

You can get a full listing of ice cream, light ice cream, and froyo flavors here:

I haven't tried this flavor yet. May need to pick up if you say it's amazing.

I thought -101- didn't like this one specifically. LOL

Thanks. Are the light versions any good? I just can't be robbed here of that little pint of heaven. I had the full fatness of Half Baked and after gobbling that, I don't think I could sacrifice much...

V1C70R · 07-02-2009, 05:04 PM

Im sorry man but you wasted your cheat day(Not really but you missed the best ice cream ive ever had!)

dulce de leche

You could have had 19 pints

Yeah. The only Light I've had is Phish Food, which was still VERY solid.

Half Baked FroYo is not bad either (see the review on first page of this thread) and not much worse than the regular.

The pharmacy next to my gym had Haagen Dazs going 2 for $5 and had this flavor. May have to check out tomorrow. The portion is a little smaller than B&J (not quite a pint), but that means I can make up those calories elsewhere.

Should I go with 2 Dulce De Leche's or try another flavor as well?

Took the plunge huh?

But from the sound of it you're feeling kinda guilty. Don't worry about it, the experience is well worth the few extra calories; you live only once - enjoy it!

"FroYo" is frozen yogurt, which is a lot healthier than the regular super premium ice cream. As for the light versions, they are still made of the regular ice cream, it's just reduced fat and calories.
The light versions taste really good and if you aren't too savvy about ice cream, you won't taste the difference at all. As for the froyo, there will be a difference (compared to the light and regular versions) and you will most likely taste it, but the added "healthiness" of it makes up for it.
If it's your first time, definitely go with the full regular super premium version - why settle for less? If you're going for the long term, consider the "healthier" options.

No no no, all B&J's are awesome, it's just not that amazing compared to the others. I actually gave all the flavors multiple runs again and mint chocolate cookie was one of those that are still pretty cool. If you like your mint chocolate and have tried the others then get it.

I just had light phish food and I have to say it was AMAZING. I expected it to be a much downgraded version since I've tried all the FroYo versions, but personally I couldn't tell the difference. If you are trying any of the flavors for the first time though, always go for the regular.

I've already tried the HD dulce de leche and it is pretty epic, but you got to change it up a bit from time to time

I just found the light version of phish food today and it was REALLY good; I actually couldn't taste the difference! I also downed a half pint of both the half baked froyo and strawberry banana froyo as well and still fit it in my macros =)

Man, that's a perfect description right there - completely agreed. When I finished my first cinnamon buns pint I kept trying to dig for more but when I looked down and saw it was empty I was like, "****!!"

I don't like a ton of stuff in my ice cream, so for me, just the cookies is fine. There are WHOLE Oxford sandwich cookies mixed in, SOO GOOD. This flavor is a lot more simple than the other B&J flavors, so don't expect a whole bunch of different mix-ins, but if you like Cookies n Cream and Mint Chocolate Chip, you should like Mint Chocolate Cookie. The worst part about the flavor is that every time I say that I'll stop after I eat one more piece of cookie, another piece of cookie pops up, and before I know it the whole pint is gone lol

**Bignbuff** · 07-02-2009, 06:22 PM

Alright, I'll have Mint Chocolate Cookie soon.

Mint Choco Cookie is legit---tastes like peppermint ice cream with Thin Mints (Girl Scout Cookies) mixed in...VERY legit, my fave flavor.

In fact I had one last night...Cherry Garcia is on the menu tonight however

IEatPowerRacks · 07-02-2009, 06:32 PM

Dubin Mudslide and Half-baked are must try. Phishfood is an inferior chocolate ice cream to half-baked imo. I've also tried HD Creme Brulee and it's kickass. Cinnamon Bun is also overhyped. While good, too sweet.

Dublin Mudslide is definitely legit. Forgot about that one! Vermonty Python is similar but it has these badass chocolate cows lol:

martina92685 · 07-03-2009, 06:58 AM

Last year I rode on the train out of my way for half an hour just to find the cinnamon bun flavor. Best. Ice Cream. Ever.

You will fit in well in this thread.

**Bignbuff** · 07-03-2009, 10:28 PM

Caramel lovers must try Dulce De Leche by Haagen Dazs. I took the plunge today and decided to try HD since it was on sale for $2.50. I must say I was extremely impressed with this flavor and would definitely have in the future.
