Great Value Vanilla Crunch Ice Cream Bars, 30 fl oz, 12 Pack

Lactose or whatever kicks my butt, literally. Brutal diarrhea after eating ice cream, cheese cake, milk, etc. Been eating these bars, several per day, for a few weeks now and no mad dashes to the bathroom! Something to do with these bars being "reduced fat". Same effect when I buy similar Hill Country reduced fat bars. I'm happy to be able to enjoy ice cream again. I've tried tubs of different brands of ice cream, ice cream sandwiches, ice cream cones (sundaes), etc. All make my stomach churn and then the bloating, mad dash and sick nauseating feeling afterward. For whatever reason, I can enjoy these. These remind me of what used to be called ice-milk bars years ago. Not as creamy as typical ice cream. Chocolate coating is ok. Not especially rich but good enough. The "crunch" is a bit of a stretch. A few sparse kernals of rice. Not like the old crunch bars of my youth. Highly Recommended worth a try if you are lactose sensitive or intolerant.

The "crunch" part was more chewy than crunchy. The chocolate shell was good but the ice cream inside had a bland taste and the texture wasnt smooth. I miss Eskimo Pies despite the poor choice of name those were a quality product. I know this is "great value" brand but thats no excuse. If you cant do it right then dont do it. Also the term "great value" is being "greatly abused" on many products under that name.
