Ice cream is normally sold in two varieties in these stores: soft-serve ice cream (normally with just chocolate, vanilla, and "twist", a mix of the two), and hard-packed, which has an assortment of like Friendly's or Swensen's.

COLD STONE CREAMERY Cold Stone Creamery is an ice cream parlor chain based in Scottsdale, Arizona, United States.[1] History The company was co-founded in 1988 by Susan and Donald Sutherland (unrelated to actor Donald Sutherland), who sought ice cream that was neither hard-packed This up-and-coming West Coast chain, with more than 300 outlets, is headed east. Its claim to fame: "When you choose your size and flavor, it is placed on our frozen granite stone ... and the fun begins! We add your tasty Mix-Ins and toppings by hand, to make your very own 'one-in-a-million' custom creation." Translation: Watch out. A small (six-ounce) sweet cream ice cream (the base of all the non-chocolate flavors) will cost you 380 calories and 15 grams of saturated fat. For another 50 cents you can get a regular (ten ounces) with 640 calories and 25 grams of sat fat. And two more quarters buy you a 14-ounce large. That's 890 calories and 35 grams of sat fat (more than 1 1/2 days' worth). Would you like your porterhouse steak in a cone or a cup? Of course, few people visit Cold Stone Creamery for plain ice cream. They're there to watch the servers use their paddles to mix in some combination of the 40+ candies, cookies, syrups, and nuts. Except for fruit, you can pretty much count on 100 to 150 calories for each Mix-In (200 for the cookie dough Cookie dough refers to a blend of cookie ingredients which has been mixed into a solid yet malleable form but has not yet been hardened by heat. The dough is often then separated and the portions baked to individual cookies, or eaten as is. and the peanut butter). Then there's the 160-calorie waffle bowl or cone, which leaps to 330 calories--and 12 grams of saturated fat--if it's dipped in chocolate. That brings, say, a regular sweet cream ice cream with a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, roasted almonds, and hot fudge in a chocolate-dipped waffle cone to 1,400 calories and two days' sat fat. Is Cold Stone trying to boost obesity rates? Of course not. Just giving people a chance to indulge. To make indulging even easier, Cold Stone offers a selection of "Creations" that mix-and-match for you. We analyzed a handful in regular sizes. The Strawberry Shortcake
Strawberry Shortcake is a licensed character owned by American Greetings, originally used in greeting cards and expanded to include dolls, posters, and other products.

Opera and song literature yield numerous examples of the serenade sung or played by a lover at night beneath his beloved's window; outstanding is (sweet cream ice cream, strawberries, sponge cake, and whipped topping Whipped topping is a non dairy product made to resemble the taste, texture, and look of whipped cream.

(Think a one-pound order of BBQ BBQ barbecue baby back ribs.) The Founder's Favorite (sweet cream ice cream, caramel, fudge 1. fudge - To perform in an incomplete but marginally acceptable way, particularly with respect to the writing of a program. "I didn't feel like going through that pain and suffering, so I fudged it - I'll fix it later." 2. fudge - The resulting code. , pecans, and brownies) brought the calories up to 970 and the sat fat down to just 3/4 of a day's worth (16 grams)--about what you'd get in two Quarter Pounders. If you're looking to put on weight, you might want to consider the Germanchokolatekake (chocolate ice cream, brownies, caramel, coconut coconut, fruit of the coco palm (Cocos nucifera), a tree widely distributed through tropical regions. The seed is peculiarly adapted to dispersal by water because the large pod holding the nut is buoyant and impervious to moisture. , and pecans). Its 1,110 calories come with 21 grams of sat fat. Tough to beat ... unless you get the Mud Pie Mojo (coffee ice cream, roasted almonds, fudge, Oreos, peanut butter, and whipped topping). How do 1,180 calories and 26 grams of sat fat grab you? About the same way two Pizza Hut Personal Pan Pepperoni Pizzas would. Cold Stone does have one item for people who know what happens when they eat a small tub of ice cream, candy, and fudge: a small Italian Sorbet, with 170 fat-free calories. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. the company, a small sweet cream yogurt has 220 calories and no fat, so it also seems like a good deal. But our lab analysis showed otherwise. We ordered a small Berry Berry Berry Good (sweet cream ice cream plus strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries) off the "Creations" menu. But instead of ice cream, we asked for (supposedly fat-free) sweet cream frozen yogurt. Yet the dish registered 340 calories and 11 grams of fat--seven of them saturated. That's half the fat of the sweet cream ice cream, but it's worse than a scoop of nearly any ice cream at any other chain.
Best Bites have no more than 250 calories and 3 grams of saturated
fat (the only topping worth a Best Bite is fruit). Worst Bites have
at least 10 grams of sat fat.

The New England-based ice cream parlor chain offers the same kinds of sundaes, shakes, and banana splits that you'll see at Swensen's--which wouldn't give us nutrition information. Friendly's, on the other hand, offered numbers for much of its menu (guess it's not called "friendly" for nothing). Like most chains, Friendly's does offer at least one low-fat ice cream, frozen yogurt, or sherbet, though the chain's generous portions put their calories in the 220 to 280 range.

And the Fribbles look good next to the Double Thick Milk Shakes. A Double Thick Chocolate will set you back 800 calories and 21 grams of sat fat. Not exactly spa food. Thinking about a sundae? Don't.

All Natural BEN & JERRY'S VERMONT'S FINEST It's hard not to love the two guys who started this big-hearted, environmentally friendly Environmentally friendly, also referred to as nature friendly, is a term used to refer to goods and services considered to inflict minimal harm on the environment.[1] company (which is now owned by corporate giant Unilever). But if you're not careful, those big hearts can lead you to a big belly and a bypassed heart. Like most other chains, Ben & Jerry's offers a limited selection of sorbets and frozen yogurts with 150 to 200 calories and no more than two grams of saturated fat in a small (four ounces). But don't expect more than a few flavors on any given day. In contrast, you'll find fatty ice creams galore. Now you're talking anywhere from 230 calories and eight grams of saturated fat (Strawberry) to 340 calories and 14 grams of sat fat (Coconut Almond almond, name for a small tree (Prunus amygdalus) of the family Rosaceae (rose family) and for the nutlike, edible seed of its drupe fruit. The "nuts" of sweet-almond varieties are eaten raw or roasted and are pressed to obtain almond oil. Fudge Chip). But not everyone gets a small at Ben & Jerry's. A regular (six ounces) will run you 350 to 530 calories. For around a dollar more, you can jump to a large (nine ounces) with its 540 to 800 calories and at least a day's worth of sat fat. Thanks for the incentive, guys. And why stop with a 60-calorie sugar cone when you can get a fresh-baked 160-calorie waffle cone? If you don't mind 320 calories (and your arteries don't mind 12 grams of sat fat) you can get your waffle cone dipped in chocolate. That brings a regular ice cream up to 650 to 800 calories. Are we having fun yet? B&J offers ready-made concoctions for those who don't want to make their own creations. The company had no numbers, so we analyzed a few. The Cappachillo Cooler (ice cream, milk, coffee, and whipped cream) will chill your efforts to look good in a swimsuit. With 720 calories and 19 grams of sat fat, it's about equal to the Waffle Cone Sundae (vanilla ice cream, peanuts, hot fudge, and whipped cream). Replace the waffle cone with a brownie and you've got yourself a Brownie Special, complete with its special 1,020 calories and 22 grams of sat fat. It's a Philly cheese steak sub plus an order of french fries French fry n. A thin strip of potato fried in deep fat. Often used in the plural. that you can conveniently drink between meals.
Best Bites have no more than 250 calories and 3 grams
of saturated fat. Worst Bites have at least 10 grams of
sat fat. (The company didn't provide numbers for toppings.)
