God, I love tiny food almost as much as I love food disguised as other food.
Look at the eensy Ben and Jerry’s! I added the spoon for scale.
Ironically, just last year I developed the ability to eat just the one half-cup serving out of the pint container. I don’t know, maybe it’s a gift you get when you reach a certain weight.

There are eensy Haagen Dazs cups, too. It’s just enough to top a slice of pie with.
You could totally pretend you are a giant, eating a gallon of ice cream. Then you could stomp through the house roaring and planning what tribute to demand from the villagers next time. …not that I have ever done that or anything…
I saved a baby ketchup from room service just because IT’S SO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw the new mini Ben & Jerry’s and almost died of cuteness!!The other place I fall for mini is in regards to paper products. Absolutely adorable!
Did you clean everything out of your freezer for this shot (minus the frozen dinner)? I mean, that looks cleaner than ours (and we only just moved in and have no food). Also, it looks like some kind of accident involving carnage happened in your ice cube tray. (I notice all the little stuff).
I lurves those tiny hostess cupcakes that come in the 100 calorie packs. Unfortunately they seem to be made with one of those sugar types, like sorbitol perhaps, that induce copious farting that sounds like a Chinese firecracker factory on fire yet smells of burning brakes. Thus I cannot indulge often and must not venture out into polite society for 48 hours post indulgence.
I can also eat a 1/4 of a pint. Then my husband comes along and eats the rest of it – and another pint too. Bastard.
Kathy – I’ve never seen them, but I never look past the pint-sized ones. I laser in on the NY fudge Chunk pint, grab it, and swoop on before I change my mind. But on pie – you couldn’t see its cure overpackaging.Erin – I can see you doing that! RARARAR!#0.5 – Ooo! Oooo! I love the baby ketchups!Yookie – What mini paper products? Like mini-tampons? That’s what “paper products” means in this household.Christy – Damn, I knew someone would spot that. Gary doesn’t like frozen food, even leftovers. So in our freezer we currently have: two empty ice cube trays, a bag of ice, because Friend #2 justifiably remarks on the lack of ice whenever she comes over, a Lean Cuisine for my lunch, three body-cooling ice-packs, one Popsicle, and one and a half mixed-drink Popsicles, because half of the cherry one melted into the ice cube tray.Zayrina – I think that’s the reason they took Garys facorite chewing gum, Extra Cool mint Green Apple, off the market.magpie – I know! But Gary feels guilty and buys me another on the way home the next evening.
I too have been given the weighty gift of being able to eat only a portion of Ben & Jerry’s.
