When grocery shopping downtown IND there are times I just cannot resist and do buy a pint of: (list in preferred ranking)
1. Cookie dough chip
or
2. Strawberries and cream
or
3. Salted caramel (just tried that for the first time)
90% of the time I can make it out of the grocery store without giving in the temptation but sometimes just give in (similar to the temptation of buying a box of Cocoa Pebbles cereal)

Speaking of the name change, years ago when I still lived in the U.S. I got on a kick of buying Frusen Glädjé ice cream because I had a thing for anything Scandinavian. The container even had an image of the Swedish map on it. Of course, this one was also made in the USA. 
I don't eat much ice cream, since I have a lactose intolerance issue. I have found that I can eat a small gelato on occasion in Italy without consequence. Not sure why, though.

(I probably get away with it more often than not because I drink the lactose-free milk. If I remember correctly, they make lactose-free milk by stuffing regular milk with the lactase enzyme and mixing it to digest the sugar before they package it. Even though the enzyme supposedly breaks down quickly, maybe there's a residual effect that lets me consume milk products without effect?)

Yes... the thing about lactose intolerance is that sometimes I can get away with eating milk products without any side effects. Chewing pills is an inconvenience so I usually - and unwisely - take the risk.

For the lactose-intolerant folks, some of the soy-based "ice creams" are OK, although they're more like regular ice cream than "premium."
If you like (ordinary) ice cream sandwiches, I can wholeheartedly recommend "Tofutti Cuties." They sell these at Trader Joe's, not sure where else.

Ben & Jerry's just came out with a vegan option for several flavors. It hasn't made it to my local stores yet but friends in other parts of the country have tried a few flavors and told me it's a good option.
