Hershey's Banana Pudding Premium Ice Cream

Available in more than 25 American states, Hershey's Ice Cream products are consistently delicious and inexpensively priced. Recently, I discovered Hershey's Banana Pudding Premium Ice Cream and I'm glad I've had the opportunity to try it.

Presented here, as a service to the consumer at large, is an article which reviews and examines Hershey's Banana Pudding Premium Ice Cream.

Size
The net weight of the container of Hershey's Banana Pudding Premium Ice Cream being reviewed here is one pint (16 ounces). It's nice to see that Hershey's still offers a true one pint container, rather than a 12 ounce or 14 ounce container that looks like a pint container, as several other ice cream manufacturers have been offering.

According to the product's nutrition facts label, the container holds four 1/2 cup servings. In the past week, I have eaten two containers of this ice cream and I received two servings from each container. That is because this ice cream is so delicious I almost couldn't stop eating it.

Price
The regular retail price charged for one 1 pint container of Hershey's Banana Pudding Premium Ice Cream at Hartford, Connecticut food retailers and convenience stores is approximately $2. The regular retail price charged for one pint (or less) containers of name brand ice creams is usually much higher than the price charged for this ice cream.

Amazingly, Hershey's ice creams, including this flavor are just as good as, if not better than the name brands of ice cream.

Consistency / Texture
Being a premium ice cream, this banana flavored ice cream features a very smooth and rich consistency. The satisfying mouth feel offered by this luxurious frozen treat is accented by swirls of marshmallow and pieces of vanilla cookies.

Personally, I think I would like Hershey's Banana Pudding Premium Ice Cream even more if it contained fewer cookie pieces and more of the awesome banana ice cream. At any rate, this ice cream is a very pleasurable item to eat.

Nutritional Facts
Hershey's Banana Pudding Premium Ice Cream contains 220 calories, with 90 calories from fat, per 1/2 cup serving. This ice cream also contains 6 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams trans fat, 10 grams total fat, 30 mg of cholesterol, 75 mg of sodium, 31 grams total carbohydrates, 0 grams of dietary fiber, 27 grams of sugars and 3 grams of protein, per 1/2 cup serving.

Taste / Flavor
On a regular basis, I purchase and eat many different brands and flavors of ice cream. As soon as I saw the one pint containers of Hershey's Banana Pudding Premium Ice Cream stocked in the freezer at a Hartford, Connecticut bodega, I just had to purchase one pint. Well, I was so impressed with the flavor, texture and overall high quality of the item, I went back to the bodega the following day and purchased another pint.

This is definitely the best tasting banana ice cream I've ever eaten. It is sweet, but not overpoweringly sweet and it really tastes like bananas. The banana flavor is distinct, yet subtle and I find it hard to stop eating this ice cream once I've started. On a flavor scale of one through ten, I would assign this product a seldom given rating of 10.

Packaging
Hershey's Banana Pudding Premium Ice Cream is packaged in a standard type round cardboard one pint ice cream container. The blue and yellow front label shows an illustration of the enclosed ice cream and the rear label lists all relevant ingredient and nutritional information.

Overall Rating
All things considered, Hershey's Banana Pudding Premium Ice Cream is a delicious, reasonably priced ice cream product. If you see this delectable product on sale at a food retailer, I highly recommend buying it. This is a very good variety of ice cream.
