    Who weighs their ice cream? I’m surprised this measured by weight and not something like pints or calories.

    Anyways, I wonder if this has to do with the rising trend of plant based diets. I still eat ice cream occasionally but the vegan ice cream I get wouldn’t be counted as ice cream in this data (understandably so)

      Pretty much anything measured in large quantities is by weight. It’s the most accurate and consistent method.
