I walked into Cremalita the other day and asked for a sample, and it was DISGUSTING! I think all I tasted was emulsifier and sweetener. So not only is it not non-fat, but it's also non-tasty!

you're right mary. the lawsuit sounds stupid, but they made money with false advertising and should be punished for it. just like mcdonald's lying that their fries were vegetarian to hindus. alas, it's far too common for food manufacturers to lie. anyone else notice that sabra very quietly raised the fat content claim of their hummus recently?

Yeah - but Creamalita was lying to all their customers - somehow they should pay for that - not just get over on one of their customers for bringing a frivilous law suit ... no matter how you slice it, everyone that ate their product thought it was less fattening than regular ice cream because they told them it was. That is wrong and they shouldn't have profitted from it.

This reminds me of that silly couple in the ridiculous "documentary," Super-Size Me. Those people were getting gastric bypass surgery because they were morbidly obese. They also admitted to drinking a couple of 2-liter bottles each of soda each day. Well, duh! 1600 calories of easily digestable, essentially liquid sugar per day, on top of what they eat, and they wonder why they're fat? Gastric bypass isn't going to help you if you can't stop sipping the stuff all day long.

Maybe the ice cream had nicotine in it.
