Better than sliced bread

I like ice cream. A lot. I especially like good ice cream, by which I mean the kind made with a whole lotta cream and other tasty globules of fat-type ingredients. Why eat the stuff, I say, unless there's that yummy, rich, creamy texture sliding from spoon to mouth, full of the flavor of chocolate, or coffee, or dulce de leche, or caramel?

But because its blessings are also its curse, I don't often buy the stuff. A pint of Haagen-Dazs dulce de leche in my freezer can disappear faster than those funds you invested with Bernie Madoff. So imagine my oh-boy-oh-boy joy when I spotted these teensy-weensy half-cup cartons of Haagen-Dazs in the freezer at the new Target. Portion control! Exactly the right size! And in my favorite flavors to be mixed and matched! So much better than buying a whole pint of just one flavor.

I'm sure there are people out there working on a better mousetrap, but until they find it, half-cup cartons of Haagen-Dazs will do.

Packaging perfection
