Have you noticed that there is not a variety of ice cream in half-gallon containers anymore? There are many in 1.5 qt and 1.75 qt sizes available for the same price as previous half-gallons.
Instead of increasing the price, they just reduced the size, increasing the price per unit. Great Deal, huh?
Good morning Sista GP,
ReplyDeleteI don't eat ice cream, but I do remember the popularity of Blue Bell in Austin (Texas). With all the ice cream lovers out there, it sounds like a marketing strategy.
Kind of has a "Field of Dreams" spin to it, "If you make it, they will buy it".

Hello
ReplyDeleteI am new to your world and just wanted to say hello. I linked through Miz's blog. Hey, I do eat ice cream but today I am trying to work my way through some strawberry shortcake. Yep, whip cream and everythang.
LOL!
ReplyDeleteNo I would not have noticed...I can't eat ice cream!
YES! it pisses me off now that i'm back into ice cream again. my new obsession is Dryers "Take the Cake"....it's like eating an ice cream cake! (and it's low fat!!)

Well with the reaction I had the last time I had a bowl full, it seems I may have to stop eating it.
