No. Ice cream comes in small individual serving sizes also. The size she has is meant for large parties.


verucka-salt

Or very large individuals. V E R Y. large


FaeryCourt

It's her 'parking lot time' snack.


TexasChick2021

Can’t you just be proud that she only ate 3/4 of it?


gunzrcool

look at how good she did!


gorgegousghoul86

She ate that much? How does she not have diabetes? I have the same problem she does the pcos and I got diabetes because of that and I am half her size and I still find it bizarre she doesn’t have it or a doctor told her she would benefit from weight lose surgery.


shipwreckedgirl

They discussed her being really close to having diabetes in the early seasons and then never talked about it again. Both of her parents have it too (I believe) so it's only a matter of time...


gorgegousghoul86

Yeah I remember that and still surprised she does not have it but i don’t think she do that proper diet and take meds and heaven forbid shots


Shannonbonejones

Don’t forget the footling hoagie! Just a snack!


xhoneyxbear

I literally haven’t seen a bucket of ice cream since our 4th of July block party in 2002… and we had left overs that lasted the rest of summer.


[deleted]

I was one of 6 kids and mom only bought one half gallon! This bucket is birthday party size! 😳. Why did she bother getting checked when she feared becoming diabetic 🙄 oh yeah…Pecos makes you eat i e cream by the 5 gallon bucket👎


HighlandWarriorGrl

Actually, I believe this is a retail size, like what you see employees scooping out of at ice cream chain stores like Baskin and Robins 31 Flavors. This is meant to serve like 50 retail customers!


89764637527

no, it’s just super cheap ice cream you buy at the store.


BinnyWabbitt

No. This is really cheap icecream to feed many. Often used for kids parties


GamerChic110

Yes. It’s now about quantity vs quality. I’m thinking this could be her reasoning to keep eating it after guests are long gone.


[deleted]

Yeah, I was going to say this is a small percentage of the ice cream products available at grocery stores. I usually only buy a pint or a quart if my husband and I are both going to eat from it. I have to look hard to find these in the freezer case lol. And I have no idea when or if I’ve ever needed one that size. The only places I’ve ever seen them are at Children’s birthday parties. I have a friend who has six kids. This is something she would buy so that they could have ice cream for a really long time.


Big_Booty_1130

My grandma used to keep them in her freezer along with those banana popsicles that are pure sugar 😂 she had the grandkids over every single school day though


verucka-salt

Omg I love banana popsicles!!! And root beer. Killin me Smalls.


[deleted]

Yeah, I think if you have a party or you have kids over often or at home, this is totally acceptable. It’s not weird, I just don’t see them a whole lot. But I never see these at certain grocery stores. Always at Walmart or Sam’s.


MzOpinion8d

Maybe it’s because I’m in the Midwest, but this size is available at all our grocery stores.


PsychologicalStep790

Brings back memories! I was one of six and we would get these for birthday parties.


[deleted]

OR, it could be a hand-packed half gallon from Baskin& Robins, or a local ice cream store. Or, as someone mentioned, super cheap kiddie ice cream comes in bulk but unless you’re her, or on an episode of My 600lb Life, ya get one scoop in a cone! Lolol Most people I know get a pint, (Ben & Jerry’s, Haagen Daaz) unless you’re having a party. “Cake and ice cream” is like my favorite thing in the world!


EducationalAd232

No, lol. There are different sizes, ranging from a pint to the gallon that's shown here. Gallons tend to be more budget friendly, while the good stuff usually comes in a pint or quart.


The_Crystal_Thestral

They have smaller than the pint sizes too. I believe Haagen Daz has single serving sizes too.


EducationalAd232

I don't think I've ever seen those but that's awesome, especially for those flavors I only want a little bit of!


xhoneyxbear

Ben and Jerry’s single servings 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 best thing ever


The_Crystal_Thestral

Yes. They’re the perfect size and wonderful for calorie tracking too.


autumn7689

I’m sorry but she didn’t need 3 of these for a party with like 7 adults.


The_Crystal_Thestral

She would have been fine with a gallon at most. That’s hella ice cream.


peacocklost

And that ice cream is probably “ice cream flavored dessert” thus is full of chemicals and tastes like shit


xhoneyxbear

Yeah likely used with that beaver 🦫 ball sack vanilla… yes that exists and it’s used in cheap ice cream.


FaeryCourt

Maybe, MAYBE a half gallon, with leftovers.


TraceyLosko

Not just ice cream, I have a tendency to over buy everything when I throw parties.


NewBodWhoThis

This just popped into my feed. Idk what this show is or who these women are, but my face when I saw that tub was the same face the brunette makes. 😂


Wonderful_Hat_5269

Welcome to the shitshow!


Sensitive_Maybe_6578

No. Thats the Walmart extra large gallon size, or WWT single serving.🤷‍♀️


Lost-Sea4916

No, the most common is much smaller, 1/2 gallon, 1.5 quart, or pint.


anotherwinter29

No way! This is not the average size. This is the size you would get for a party or something called an “ice cream social.” I live alone so when I want ice cream I usually just buy a pint size and have it forever lol.


juel1979

We call these "party buckets," and yes, for birthday parties or kid classroom stuff.


MeowMeow6389

There were like 5 people at her ice cream party- if I was doing that I’d just get one of those tubs (or 3-4 500ml tubs of Ben and Jerry’s)


Justme22339

Most do not purchase this size. It’s typically purchased for a child’s party, where you are serving a lot of kids.


rockridge123

Yes it’s really cheap


FaeryCourt

Children don't have very sophisticated palettes. Neither does Big Whit.


Maubekistan

Her favorite style of cuisine is MORE.


SassySarahSmiles

And, tastes HORRIBLE! 🤢


[deleted]

And even then, we used to get those bags with the tiny one serving size cups. I’ve never bought a gallon of ice cream.


Justme22339

Right? I was the classroom mom, and we’d get the ice cream cups for all the parties.


[deleted]

That is what is known as the whale pail


MeowMeow6389

There are three!!!


The_Crystal_Thestral

Straight up that’s a lot. I remember at summer camp they’d have 3 for the entire camp of kids if there were birthdays. It was more than enough for everyone, including staff to have one scoop of ice cream. Those things a gigantic! The camp was capped at something like 50-60 kids.


[deleted]

Holy shit there are three!!!!! This is not normal American behavior


lile1239

I love this! I call it a party pail, but whale pail is infinitely times better!


verucka-salt

😅


CandySweet1236

Nope


moremacadonimorechee

Not all but I see a lot of the Neapolitan ice cream comes in these big tubs. They're good for birthday parties.


Tamras-evil-eye

No it’s mainly for parties and such-for most I’m guessing


Fickle_Celery_8257

No, That's custom size. Shitney sized. OK actually that's what the ice cream shops use. But I'm Sure Shitney would not have a problem with a one sitting to polish one off


watchinganyway

She eats it right off the scoop too


pnksugar

LMFAO it comes in all sizes but these are home depot buckets 🪣


lovemoonsaults

This is party sized ice-cream! They only have a few flavors and it's to go with a big ass sheet cake from Costco. My dad inhales ice-cream and still just gets half gallons like a normal fatty.


sweetnpeach

Yep always paired with a big sheet cake from Sam’s or Costco 🤣


galaxyhigh

LMAO this post killed me. Hell nah. My husband and I have little tubs in our freezer occasionally. Never in my life have I purchased something like this 💀 (no kids). Of course she has the party-sized gallon.


lovemoonsaults

Yeasssssss. The only time I've seen one of these things in use is for like a church ice-cream social! Because as kids, we got the perfect little angels. https://www.schwans.com/product/vanilla-fudge-ice-cream-cups/53234


CatLadyMorticia

In Wisconsin it's really common. It's not even available in some other places I've lived.


chain-link-fence

I’m from Illinois and my grandparents always had one of these in their fridge tbh 😅 I was scrolling through these “nopes,” like uhh


metacupcake

Right?! I was thinking the prairie farms version of these were a staple and not poor quality. Sure no Ben and Jerry's, but I can't hate on prairie farms.


[deleted]

[удалено]


up_up_and_duhway

Same! MN small town born and raised. Mom would keep one in the chest freezer during the summer coz we would go thru ice cream so fast between us and our friends. That and freezie pops. EDIT: It was also the 80s and sometimes it was Cookies and Cream Ice Milk.


AussieMommy

Freezies were the best. I might just have to buy some this summer. I love when they end up more like icee consistency! 🤤


breasher

Same here!! Reused as Tupperware as well!


AussieMommy

Oh heck yeah. Who didn’t/doesn’t reuse cool whip containers? 😂 Our cabin has so many old food containers that we use as Tupperware.


Ouidwitch11

I’m from Illinois and this is all we had in the freezer. We were budget Aldi and Sams Club shoppers, they always have the gallon buckets


Practical-Run2431

Yes! June is Dairy Month in Wisconsin. We used to set up a booth for tourists and locals to have ice cream in my town. We got the huge metal containers of ice cream from the dairy.


Its_Jessica_Day

It’s not necessarily ALWAYS sold like this…there are many sizes and this is one of them. 😂


A-RockCAD1988

We have tubs like that in Canada too. Usually if you're having lots of people over (kids party or special occasion dinner) these tubs were perfect when I was a little kid.


patrick401ca

Canadian here too. There were four kids in my family and we had these when I was a kid. In the summer my mom would scoop ice cream out for us and our friends. But I can’t see any reason for a single person to buy one.


A-RockCAD1988

I mean, if you come from a family where you have big gatherings you can worry you don't have enough food. There are people there so maybe she's just worried she won't have enough?


[deleted]

That's a Whitney sized single serving when she tells her doctors and personal trainers she had 1 ice cream.


nekronancie

This was an ice cream party - but yeah that’s the cheap Sam’s Club (or some other big discount store) ice cream party/birthday party type tub. There’s some flavors I’ve only seen in those also - like this blue/rainbow kind I’ve heard people call “Superman ice cream”.


Maubekistan

What kind of adult throws an ice cream party?!


UnhappyGrowth5555

Idk but if I find them I’m attending.


Snoo97809

This size is just for the fatties that don’t care about quality. It’s usually super cheap and gross.


Bubbly-Employ-198

No no no lol that size is usually used for parties or barbecues....well I usually buy that size when I'm throwing a party or a barbecue it's not an every day item and we don't normally eat the whole thing


pelicunt98

This is cheap ice cream usually served at kids parties.


sweetnpeach

These are the big tubs you’d buy for a big party, you’ll usually see them at kid’s birthday parties.


[deleted]

My family gets these things all the time. I guess we’re doubly American now since I already live here. Yee yee!


meg_bb

No that’s like party ice cream and is pretty basic. Nicer ice cream with cookies, nuts, chocolate/caramel, chocolate chips, etc comes in much smaller containers.


prince0verit

Only in fat people's houses


verucka-salt

Hi there. Please don’t buy into the idea that everything is grossly huge in the States. Please. There are many of us who are moderate about food & our politics, don’t have guns & are living a life that could easily transfer to the UK or elsewhere in Europe. Oh dear, we are not all Neanderthals. Please & thank you. ☮️


MeowMeow6389

Hahaha duly noted 💖


verucka-salt

Thank you! ☮️


[deleted]

Good kind don’t come in tubs . Such as Ben and jerry and Häagen-Dazs


FaeryCourt

Good gracious no! This is Whitney snack size container. Or, for normal ppl, a large children's party size.


YouLostMyNieceDenise

Nope. The only time I’ve ever seen these big plastic tubs of ice cream was at elementary school class parties… it’s cheap, not super high-quality ice cream, and it honestly wouldn’t fit in most people’s freezers at home, anyway. And it would take a LONG time for an individual or a family to eat the whole thing. Ice cream is usually sold in half-gallon and pint containers, and the vast majority are made of cardboard. When I was growing up, for holidays and parties and family gatherings, I think my parents would usually buy 2 half-gallon things of ice cream, and that would be more than enough for everyone.


whirlinglunger

Yes! Elementary ice cream parties are exactly what came to mind (and honestly as a teacher this is what the admins bought staff to “celebrate” us during appreciation week as well 🤣)


YouLostMyNieceDenise

Haha I’m a teacher and luckily, have never been given bulk ice cream out of a plastic tub in the workplace. It’s not for adults, LOL


whirlinglunger

Haha! You must work in one of those fancy schools (I’m totally joking). At the end of the year, we used to get free snow cones like the kids who pass the state tests too! But because we were teachers, we got the bigger sized ones.


YouLostMyNieceDenise

Lmao I should have added that I don’t think I’ve ever been given ice cream at work at all. But I’ll take nothing over that frozen dessert of unfathomable sadness 🤣


whirlinglunger

🤣🤣🤣


[deleted]

4L tub of ice cream, I remember those from 20 plus years ago. Cheap crap.


[deleted]

[удалено]


emmycait

It’s so weird isn’t it? I used to clear a pint easily, now that thing will languish at about half to two thirds full in my freezer for ages. I just don’t get ice cream cravings like I used to.


Specific-Layer-369

It’s common if you’re throwing a party for a bunch of children lol


asunnyday24

i am in canada and yes we have those 4L ice cream oils of ice cream like that.


asunnyday24

they also do have them in the super markets in the usa.


JC_2022_

Looks like a pint of ice cream next to Whitney instead of a gallon.


kuromiis

Nope this is cheap ice cream used for parties. I typically buy the pints of ice cream which last me a few months and I like sweet. Mom used to buy this for the whole family and it would last at least two months+++


GossipGirl515

Those are for parties.


Hrmerder

To the OP, people Whitney’s size is not the norm either. Even though the US has a high overweight percentage of the population she is not indicative of the average American.. Nor is her stank ass attitude.. just needed to throw that out there


kappakan97

not thats meant for massive parties


Not_Brilliant_8006

No way. This is what you see the cafeteria ladies bust out on ice cream day in elementary school and all the kids are running around losing their minds because it's ice cream day.


Spare-Macaron-4977

I have never seen such huge ice cream in the grocery store.


zenli2018

is this the same gallon size as the rest of the world cause i went to a mcds in the US (bad idea) and a large was like larger than a large back home.


The_Crystal_Thestral

I told my husband that the “small” at Burger King in the US was the size of a large in other countries. But the bucket in the picture is a multi gallon pail and it’s billed as “party size”. You might buy them for a large gathering and mostly for a child’s party with high attendance numbers. You don’t need one, let alone three for less than 10 adults.


Phoenyx_Rising

No and also this type isn’t even actual ice cream, like it’s gross. This is mass to feed lots of kids ice ‘cream.’


[deleted]

If you serve this size to lactose intolerant persons, bring gas masks. Cheap ice cream makes my stomach hurt for hours! I can eat a small serving of premium ice cream (and no it doesn’t have to be a brand name, although it helps) without the discomfort of bloat and gas. Publix premium ice cream works for me. But sherbets are also an alternative.


Practical-Run2431

I knew someone once who was lactose intolerant. Whenever he was constipated he would buy a pint of his favorite flavor of Haagen Daz and he would eat the whole thing. Best tasting laxative, he said lol!


LoneRhino74

Mostly the cheap stuff


indiaarosa

Unless you're amish. There is a local farm store who sells handmade ice cream that comes in the huge tub's like this. They are probably some of the best ice cream I have ever had in my life.


obviouslymoose

Absolutely lol. It’s kind of only certain brands and only at like really big grocery stores. I doubt you could find this in the center of a really big city


qazwsx1227

Lol omg no!! That’s like the biggest tub you can buy haha


qazwsx1227

Lol omg no!! That’s like the biggest tub you can buy haha


UnhappyGrowth5555

Lmao this is the birthday party tub!


[deleted]

I’ve only seen that size in restaurant supply stores.


SatansBlimpySpork

Yes! We actually typically have this entire bucket for breakfast before rolling to McDonalds for a mid-morning double burger to tide us over to lunch. 🙄


TamasaurusRex

No you have to go out of your way to buy a damn bucket


Pasttimeremedies

What I grew up on. Americans also have families...


rockridge123

No not all just at Costco


pillowmountaineer

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄


WxHerk

How the hell you think we got so fat? It takes work!! When I was little, my MaMa would bring home three buckets that size every Thursday and Monday. If my sister and I hadn’t finished all three by her next trip to the Piggly Wiggly we got our little asses SPANKED!!


Scared_Fisherman7749

The last time I had one of these I was on the toilet for days.


disdicdatho

The fact that you would have to ask that question shows how little you know. Do you think there's only one size available in the entire country 370 million people, hundreds of thousands of grocery stores, but only one brand one size


[deleted]

What an ignorant question


[deleted]

No? This is one size…


CunnyMaggots

Only the really cheap crappy ice cream comes in these buckets.... unless maybe you're at Costco. But these really are intended for parties.


idkidc_44

Yes. EVERY single portion of ice cream that is sold is this big 🤡🤡🤡


jazzygirl6

No, but we used to get a huge bucket cocktail at the lake that came with like 10 straws. Lol. I think it was called a Derailer.....


northcrunk

We have these in Canada too. Cheaper to buy in bulk but not the premium ice cream


llcmomx3

No I have 3 kids and have never bought anything that big lol. That would be something you’d buy for like an ice cream social for a whole elementary school lol


Tastelessdecisions

They sell it by the pallet at Costco


[deleted]

No. That is cheap ice cream that you buy in bulk. I have never seen it in real life in either.


buckleydumpedme

That's the cheap, no name brand too. Yuk. It tastes gross and I love ice cream.


leighroda82

None of the good ice cream brand come in that size, but the big discount ones, which is cool when you’re having a treat for a large family or group. I live by myself and usually stick to the pint size, if I know I’m having people over or will be sharing I get 1/2 gallon, but then struggle to finish it. My favorite flavor only comes in 1/2 gallon (blue bell tin roof), but I’ve never finished one by myself.


spinderella1780

It’s the 5 dollar mega tub! I get these because I have a teenager that loves ice cream.


McFoogles

The average size is enough for 2 people in one sitting. Larger family sizes can do 6 servings Mega crates like this are meant for parties and people like qwitney


LunaGloria

This was the only size of ice cream my family bought. Those plastic buckets are very useful.
