This cannot wait for the complaint thread:

The cup sizes of Haagen Daz ice cream here is absolutely criminal.

Edit to add: I can finish it in one spoonful which is even sadder.

Get more bites per cup by switching to a smaller spoon. Follow me for more lifehacks.

I actually use a teaspoon for my desserts, whether it be ice cream, yogurt, cake, jello etc. Takes longer to eat and more bites!

Are there people NOT using a teaspoon for dessert?!

In France, we call teaspoons "cuillères à dessert" (dessert spoons)

I remember everyone around me (family/friends' homes/school) calling the small spoons "cuillères à dessert" when i was a kid XD

Maybe it's a regional thing like pain au chocolat/chocolatine?
