They're trying to fool us all!

I just went to bloom Bloom * A Different Kind of Grocery Store for some dinner items. (making fresh tomato sauce with a touch of cream over spaghetti with a ribeye steak on top) anywho, I needed to pick up some heavy cream and I noticed while in the cream department they had half and half, however, there was a catch, it was fat free half and half.... what the heck? that's like asking for fat free pork bacon how the heck do you pull that off?

Half and Half means half milk and half cream. I guess the milk part could be skim milk, but the cream part would have to be at least 18% fat in order to be called "cream"

So I have to ask myself, what are they selling? half skim milk and half skim milk? wouldn't that be labeled as skim milk?

For a product to be fat free, it has to (by USDA standards) have less then .5g of fat per serving. Maybe the half pint carton had 30 servings in it?

I need to find something better to do with my time lol

I've seen that too, and I still have no idea what exaclty it's supposed to be. I went on about the self-contradiction for so long that my friends told me to shut up about it. :p
