I Want to Be a Skinny Cow

You are what you eat, right?  So I bought these the other day.

These are Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches.  As you may know I am in the midst of the Wedding Diet.  The Diet is complicated by a pre-existing condition: Sweet-tooth-itis.  Nutrition experts recommend soothing the savage Sweet-Tooth Beast with fruit.  Hah!  What a croc.  It works up to a point, but sometimes nothing will do but the sugar- and fat- laden real thing.

I’m not sure if this is really the “real” thing, but it sure has me fooled.  One sandwich is 140 calories, which is great, as long as I don’t eat the whole box at one sitting (I bravely limit myself to one per day).    And more importantly, they taste delicious.

They’re a pretty good deal, too.  I got this container of 20 vanilla & chocolate sandwiches at Sam’s Club for $9.87, plus tax (the state of Texas actually charges sales tax for ice cream.  Heinous).  So that means each scrumptious sandwich is about $.50.  I think that’s pretty good.  A Ben & Jerry’s model will set you back four bucks, and probably be about a thousand calories, too.  A BJ is delicious, though.

Ok, FTC, just so you know, I bought these ice cream sandwiches with my own money and am eating them with my own mouth.  I really, truly love them.  I’m not a paid-for silver-tounged spokeswoman for Skinny Cow.  Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
