On their store locator it's 17 miles away from me, so I might go. Best part it was dollar off, but they finally removed it. Worst complaint is I eat a pint a day, and give my stomach a lot of problems, I guess I could eat couple spoons, but Its hard not to.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07164605155883365948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-50807576613706352502021-01-13T17:23:38.774-05:002021-01-13T17:23:38.774-05:00First purchase.

Only to find out there isn't cherries or bits of cherries in the ice cream. Hubby not happy about that. 2nd to be opened was the pistachio. Can't wait. Boy, was I surprised. Not only were there less than 10 nuts in the pint, but, there was absolutely no taste at all.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09586469761738077849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-62433040234913033512020-09-25T06:31:04.919-04:002020-09-25T06:31:04.919-04:00I LIVE for ice cream lol...going to try Nicks toda...I LIVE for ice cream lol...going to try Nicks today..they sell it at my local grocery stores!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07100063425774232549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-83894216615233311362020-08-21T18:42:34.464-04:002020-08-21T18:42:34.464-04:00Hello,

For a person who frequents the fridge past midnight for a sweet ice cream snack, I found I was racking up the calories QUICK. But Nick's has really helped to satisfy that sweet craving, as well as keep my weight in check. The ice cream is very creamy and there are some great flavors to choose from. Reminds me of some of the great gelato I had in Italy last summer. <br />Overall, Nick's is a great product, made with lots of love and care for our bodies. I love that, when you taste it, the flavors almost transport you to a vacation state-of-mind, which is especially necessary for sanity with all of the stressors of the pandemic. I feel like I am doing my body good when I am spooning Nick's ice cream into my mouth. Kudos to Nick and the team of professionals who worked hard to make this dream a reality. I absolutely LOVE it!

I will try ordering again in a few months, but I doubt local stores will be fast to expand the line the carry, even though I find Nick's superior to the competitors, I think most customers overlook it and don't think it sells well. In fact it appears to have been demoted to a lower shelf in one store. And now when you go to their website they have a big splash image of the strawbar swirl I covet--it stabs me each time! I see it is only carried in New England(i'm in NY) and Texas, I had a dream I took air force one to Plymouth, Mass to procure the goods.(i obsess about unimportant things like ice cream to distract from stress---and then it comes back in my face and causes me stress)Rabbit Girlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-52820134286361902020-07-20T20:43:54.840-04:002020-07-20T20:43:54.840-04:00@ Rabbit Girl,

I don't mind all the fake sugars and aftertaste but can see where some wouldn't like it.<br /><br />My local stores only carry two flavors, Vanilla and Butter Pecan. Would love to try the coffee/caramel if I could find it.

That wasn't the case here. Then again, it's not like I'm eating a pint at a time. So results may vary but I've found monk fruit doesn't cause any stomach issues for me at least.<br /><br />@RG, mine was a mix of pints. Some had the plastic tamper seal around the lid and others had the foil sealed under the lid. They all seemed about the same for me though. Sorry you had such a terrible experience with customer service. I remember going though packaging changes and it's typically the most popular flavors transitioning first and least popular changing last. If there's still stock of old packaging, they won't run the new until the old is depleted. I still see plastic pints from my previous company and we got rid of those when I was there over a year ago.Nick Rovohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03431863638273330331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-84766551381816645542020-07-20T13:51:22.499-04:002020-07-20T13:51:22.499-04:00I've had the mint chip and chocolate - love th...I've had the mint chip and chocolate - love them both, but they melt before I can eat the whole pint! :) Very much agree with you on the creaminess.<br />SO want to try more flavors, but the local stores only carry 4 for now.

You'll have to settle for those light flavors that are a mix of more air and more stabilizers.<br /><br />@RG: Nick's press release says they are in 3500 stores now and I know I've seen it at several grocery stores in my area (Shaw's and Stop & Shop).Dubba Scoopshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07135130511349727532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-32798500395777469222020-07-20T02:45:46.240-04:002020-07-20T02:45:46.240-04:00I loved the strawberry, but they don't sell it...I loved the strawberry, but they don't sell it locally and unless you get the packaging with the foil seal, the shrinkage is too extreme to handle if buying online. Last time I ordered, got the plastic seal and that package is too flimsy, the ice cream turns into inedible pasty mass even after thawing. I'll see try reordering in the fall to see if the old packaging has phased out. Your promotional pack probably came directly from the company, but when ordering from the east coast, you'll get it from the etailer warehouse in Pennsylvania where the still have the old crappy packaging.(these are the people who do ice cream source)<br /><br />Also, their customer service is sooo bad. The representative is extremely rude and unprofessional, when I told them about the shrinkage issue he refunded me but then refused to contact me/respond to my polite emails about when the packaging would change over, etc. There's only one person doing all of customer service, so it's a lot on him, but blackballing a polite and devoted customer is no way to go about things.Rabbit Girlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-87846480774942395482020-07-20T00:42:19.251-04:002020-07-20T00:42:19.251-04:00I think I saw this new brand once before and now t...I think I saw this new brand once before and now that you mentioned all of the sugar substitutes and fiber-bulking substances (e.g. Soluble Corn Fiber, Erythritol, Allulose, Xylitol), I have to ask, Dubba, how does your stomach handle one if not all of those add-ins? I know in the past you had a few GI issues (not to get too personal), but when I look at the nutritional label, say for the B-Day cake--I would LOVE to have a pint at 60 calories per serving! But I can't because no matter the sugar alcohol additive, my system goes into implosion mode a few hours later with these supposedly healthier "ice creams." Is there any of the protein-based/"healthy" ice creams that do not contain these sugar substitutes or do not cause such digestive issues? I know it is probably a "keep trying to you find one," but Halo, Enlightened, etc. all use these non-sugars to lower their fat and calories. I just want to be like all of the other bloggers who boast about their protein/low-cal "pint parties" :(Amandanoreply@blogger.com
