Ah, Ben & Jerry's. An icy pint of heaven.  How do they make it so good without all that yummy rBGH? So far from vegan, and further from "raw," but oh-so-delicious nonetheless. Tonight I noticed a typo on the ben and Jerry's container. I considered calling the press, suing, making millions (not to mention all the talk shows I could be on)...but ultimately I decided to extend B & J's a little Grace and didn't call after all. I still feel bad for all the millions of people out there hurt by them, though. I mean...all those poor, ignorant people  limiting themselves drastically becasue of this. And seriously - it's costing B & J's a lot of money, I'm sure!
Anyway, this is what I read on the back of the container, under the Nutrition Information:

serving size- 1/2c
calories - 280
servings per container - 4

See?  DO you see the typos? First of all, for the longest time I had  believed that the "c" stood for "cup." But today as I finished off half a pint of the  delicious, chocolatey B & J's "Phish Food," it dawned on me...why feel guilty over eating 1/2 container instead of the serving size of 1/4....the "c" stands for "container!" So there are only 2 servings per container, but I can eat them without the guilt of thinking I ate DOUBLE what I should have! Yeah! I could eat a whole pint for only 560 calories, not the  1120 I had thought before! Imagine what a difference that information could make in the lives of so, so many people!

SO you can imagine how hard it was for me not to do anything. All those poor people out there. Fooled. Believing they are gluttons for eating two servings of sweet, creamy goodness.

OK, maybe I'll write them a letter, at least...

I totally agree. You are not the only one offended by those typos.


"A serving size on ice cream is like a half a cup. Is that like a joke some guy put on there? "Hey, come here: look what I put for the serving size. Did you see? I just did it as a joke but they're going out like that." You ever know anybody to eat a half a cup of ice cream? "Hey, you wanna go grab something to eat?" "Ah, no. I had a half a cup of ice cream. Ya, a whole half a cup. I just kept eating and eating and eating. I must've had two spoonfuls.
