Low-carb ice cream triggers spit reflex
By Bonnie Leblang and Carolyn Wyman - Supermarket Sampler

.
Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream. Carb Karma Chocolate, Carb Karma Half Baked, and Carb Karma Vanilla Swiss Almond; Light Vanilla, Light Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, and Light Chocolate Mint & Cookies. $3.59 per pint.
.
Bonnie: Ben & Jerry’s guarantees that these new ice creams will satisfy your “mind, belly and soul.” Who are they kidding? Eating Carb Karma ice cream is not a euphoric experience. These tasteless, oddly textured frozen desserts are more of a “Where’s the sink? I need to spit!” experience.
.
The new Light ones, though, have half the fat of both regular Ben & Jerry’s and the Carb Karmas and also taste better. Light Chocolate Mint & Cookies is the best, with an abundance of add-ins that mask the light ice cream’s taste.
.
To me, Ben & Jerry’s Carb Karma is certain proof (along with the ludicrous introduction of Pedigree low-carb dog food) that the carb-crazed pendulum has passed beyond ridiculous and will therefore soon start back toward normalcy. After all, I could never before have imagined spitting out Ben & Jerry’s!
