NEWS: Haagen-Dazs Downsizes Pints
The 16-ounce Haagen-Daz pint: soon to be history. |
Maybe no one noticed when yogurt when from 8 ounces to 6 ounces. But will Haagen-Dazs lovers take note when the iconic pint downsizes to 14 ounces, beginning in March, 2009? Faced with increasing cost of ingredients, many manufacturers must choose to raise prices or put less in the package. The superpremium ice cream brand has chosen to do the latter. The good news: Now when you eat that entire “pint” of Haagen-Daz, there will be fewer calories. The puzzlement: Next year, when you go to the store to buy a “pint” of Haagen-Daz, what do you properly call it? “Small container” could be confusing, as the company sells quarts, “pints” and dixie cups.Read our review of Haagen-Daz Reserve flavors, a NIBBLE Top Pick Of The Week. | |
