Depends on which ice cream you by. Braum's (a regional dairy store based in Oklahoma) recently changed to a 3 pint ice cream carton. And Blue Bell is "still a half gallon", which they proudly proclaim on their packaging. And of course there's the inexpensive big tub store brand, which comes in a 5 quart tub.
Clearly the FMI is correct that SI would confuse the consumer, and it's quite simple to compare half-gallon to 1.75 quarts to 3 pints. Even with unit pricing, there's no guarantee they'll use the same unit as a "base". --- On Thu, 2/19/09, John Woelflein <[email protected]> wrote: Reminds me: when did the dairy industry broadcast the change in ice cream products' size, from a half-gallon container to 1.75 quarts? Grrrrrrrrr.
