Blue Bunny really is crap. I know all their "novelties" are "lite" ice cream so not really ice cream, and they use corn syrup.
I liked their ice cream sandwiches for a year because the wafers stayed firm but after reading the labels and tasting them over time, I decided they were pretty gross. Read again and see the asterisk next to ice cream where they don't really say they are ice cream but some type of "lite" ice cream with the supposedly wonderful factor that they have 1/3 less calories. That missing 1/3 calories means they are doing something bad that they are trying to pass off as good for your weight.
