ARCTIC ZERO FROZEN DESERT: HERE'S MY REVIEW
You may remember MsMartita posting about this product. Its available locally but I don't get around too well in the heat. Fortunately its available on line at amazon.
Below is the review I posted on amazon.com.
THIS FROZEN DESERT HAS A SMOOTH TEXTURE AND MILD FLAVOR. YOU WON'T MISTAKE IT FOR ICE CREAM. ITS LIGHTER, MORE LIKE FROZEN YOGURT AND LESS SWEET.
I FIND THE FLAVORS SATISFYING AND REFRESHING. EACH FLAVOR TASTES LIGHT BUT NOT BLAND. THE CHOCOLATE MINT AND CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER HAVE JUST A HINT OF THE SECOND FLAVOR. IF YOU LIKE STRONG FLAVORS THIS MAY BE TOO LIGHT FOR YOU. TOPPINGS MAY BE AN ENHANCEMENT.
AT ABOUT $5.70 A PINT (INCLUDING SHIPPING) FOR THE TEN PACK IT IS NOT FAR OFF FROM THE LOCAL PRICE. IT IS NOT WIDELY AVAILABLE AT LOCAL SUPERRMARKETS WHICH MAKES ON LINE ORDERING MORE CONVENIENT. LOCAL FOR ME MEANS A HIKE TO A STORE THAT CARRIES IT FOLLOWED BY A RACE HOME TO THE FREEZER.
INCLUDED IN THE PACKAGING IS AN ORDER FORM. IT IS ALSO AVAILABLE ON THEIR WEBSITE. THE FORM IS LAID OUT FOR YOUR LOCAL GROCER TO PLACE AN ORDER. WORKS FOR CONSUMER LIKE ME WHERE ITS TOO HOT NOT TO PURCHASE IT NEARBY. WORKS FOR THEM BY INCREASING THEIR DISTRIBUTION.
NEARBY OR ONLINE I INTEND TO BUY THIS PRODUCT AGAIN. AT 150 CALORIES A PINT, ADDED PROTEIN, AND LOW SUGAR ITS SUITABLE FOR DIETERS, WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY PATIENTS, AND THOSE WHO LIKE A TREAT WITHOUT ALL THE CALORIES.
THERE ARE TWO NEGATIVES:
-THE TEN PACK DOES NOT OFFER A CHOICE OF FLAVORS AND COMES IN JUST ONE COMBINATION.
-THE PACKAGING IS INADAQUATE. THE DRY ICE WAS NEAR THE BOTTOM WHERE THE CONTAINERS WERE STILL FROZEN. THE CONTAINERS ON TOP HAD BEGUN TO MELT. FORTUNATELY I GOT EVERYTHING INTO THE FREEZR WITHIN MINUTES OF DELIVERY. THIS NEEDS MORE THAN ONE PACKAGE OF DRY ICE.
