Unless you can find some stock photos of the cartons before the alleged change, then the net wt. would give it away

There is a great ice cream place right near our house. It is better to eat it there rather than buy the quarts though because it does get freezer burned in a short time. It is good quality ice cream and known throughout the region. I guess if I was really that into ice cream, I would make it fresh myself.

I don't really like to buy those cartons in the grocery store, because it really doesn't taste as good as fresh-made.
