My Mom used those candies. She also used a low cal ice cream made by Metra-Cal. The chocolate was a strangely bright color of brown. We kids were not to eat it.

Metrecal, the chalky 60s meal replacement shake that started an unfortunate trend

About two years ago they started coming out with all these brands of lo-cal ice cream. They look weird and taste weird. I had a friend who was eating them nonstop for six months, then never touched them again.

I also see they have a gay ice cream brand at the market. Not sure what that means.
