Look For The Pink Star

So are you one the ones who did it?  Did you make a New Year's resolution this year?  The most common ones we've heard about are the same as in previous years ~ people resolve to quit smoking, manage their money better, and lose weight.

Leaning toward Rubenesqe, we empathize with people who want to drop a few pounds.  Goodness knows that we could stand to lose a few ourselves.  (However that's not going to be the focus of our resolutions this year.)  So yay to the businesses that are out to help us diet without requiring us to sacrifice the yummy things we like to eat.

Like ice cream.

Let's hear it for Baskin-Robbins that's launching ice cream that's better for you (note that we didn't say it was "good" for you).  They're called BRight Choices.  Some are touted as low fat and light.  Others are no sugar added.  Calorie counts range from 80 to 140 calories per scoop. 

Light ice cream comes in vanilla and milk chocolate.  Raspberry chip (oh yummy) is coming in March.  Reduced fat, no sugar added comes in butter almond crunch and pineapple coconut.  And don't forget fat free frozen yogurt and sorbet. 

But how do they taste?  We don't know... but if you have a gym membership and can show proof of this membership on January 15th, you can get yourself a free scoop.  To see if you like it.  And if you see us in line with you, don't be afraid to say "hi"!
