What You Should Know

You'd find this pint in the supermarket freezer case, often picked up for a late-night scoop, after-dinner treat, or small-group dessert. Its creamy, indulgent gelato vibe (minty cool with chocolate ribbons) and ingredients like dextrose, carob gum, soy lecithin, "natural flavor" and processed chocolate signal industrial formulations that deliver smooth texture and extended shelf stability.
