I'm lactose intolerant - albeit only in North America- so if I were to eat ice cream by the pint I'd squit by the gallon.

:bigsmile_face :

That said I often hanker for a scoop or two of the Walls Raspberry Ripple I remember from being a kid.
Now that stuff I could suck back b y the box load
Alas that was then.

Yuck. I hardly ever eat ice cream, let alone an entire pint of it.

 

[SweetAdeline]

Of all the disadvantaged people in the whole wide world, I feel most sorry for those that are lactose intolerant.

For me... I know I CAN do it but I'd have to spend like 3 hours at the gym burning it off.

My little sister does it all the time and she still stays lean w/ no exercise at all. I hate genetics.

Such as? Anyway, I see I am talking to a Brit whom still use the archaic stone as a measurement of weight. <rolls eyes> BTW, how do you know what each stone weighs exactly?

 

[mark2410]

well its only used for measuring the weight of people. i think mostly because if you weigh 14 stone say then you know how much that is in relation to other peoples weight but not instantly to any other real life object

Why exactly are you trying to start an internet fight about measurement systems in an ice cream thread on a headphone forum? I don't see the logic here. There is absolutely no reason for it

A pint at a time is ridiculous oO
A half scoop is plenty.

some of you must have cast iron stomachs and arteries

You really didn't understand my post...

I'm not sure what your problem is, and I don't care. Don't come to my reality and insult my "archaic" imperial measure. I'm sure your reality is so much better, but us non-shifting humans do just fine thank you.


How much does each stone weigh?

Why don't you come find out?

[gorlen]

it depends. if the ice cream is good, e.g.hagen das, i will finish the whole thing at once.

Wow, talk about lost in translation. I was just being facetious and not trying to start a fight. Even the comment about stone weight measurement was tongue-in-cheek, I am actually a Brit too and wouldn't try to start a fight with my own countrymen.

Already been there. I'm from Pompey, moosh.

I used to. I mentioned to a spiritual advisor once around 15+ yrs ago that once I took my first bite I couldn't stop until I was finished with the pint. He said that if I couldn't control and enjoy my ice cream eating that I would eventually have to give it up. For yrs I practiced stopping at exactly 1/2 a pint. Now adays I have one or two scoops and I am grateful for them.
