Personally, I buy protein powder even though I know the ingredients are actually too cheap to justify the price. But I’m too lazy, and the reward of a cold chocolate shake after working out makes me forget about the outrageous cost. It’s a little guilty pleasure I’ve come to terms with.
Cheap ice cream is pumped up with air. That gallon of store brand crap probably weighs less than half a gallon of Ben & Jerry’s.
So convenient that ice cream is sold by volume and not weight.
