This isn't just expensive, this is like, ludicrously, comically expensive.

Standard ice cream runs about $2.50 for a half gallon. A comparable price for the same amount of that stuff would be like $50 bucks.

If they want to become relevant they're going to have to find a way to knock that price down, cuz that's outrageous.

Keep in mind that this is a brand new kind of niche product made by a startup. And they seem to run coupons frequently. I've bought it twice now with coupons in just the past few months, and they had 50% off coupons each time. $5 a pint puts it in line with Ben and Jerry's pricing. And it was free shipping too.

Nope, Ill stick to oat milk. I avoid genetically modified anything (many health conscious people do). I am not vegan, I have a dairy intolerance so I try to minimize my dairy.

This one tastes awesome:
