Baskin-Robbins's annual 31-cent scoop night is happening this evening from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. To get in on the deal, all you have to do is head to your local Baskin-Robbins for a small, single-scoop ice cream cone. The event was created to honor the National Volunteer Fire Council National Junior Firefighter Program, and Baskin-Robbins will be donating $100,000 to the organization. At select stores, ice cream eaters can contribute by making their own donation the cause. Cheap ice cream for a good cause: What's not to love?

At a time when many people are resolving to eat less ice cream, Baskin-Robbins has introduced its new line of more diet-friendly treats under the umbrella name BRight Choices. The new selection includes a variety of flavors of light, fat-free, dairy-free, and no-sugar-added ice cream, frozen yogurt, and sorbet.

The company's website lists nutritional information for the different types of treats and flavors — for example, the Premium Churned Light Ice Cream has 50 percent less fat and 20 percent fewer calories than Baskin-Robbins' regular ice cream. Keep in mind the serving size for the nutritional info is for a 2.5-oz. scoop.

Updating an image or spinning off of a product is nothing new, but lately it seems like this concept has taken over the candy industry. I recently received a box full of new products that were featured at the National Candy Expo a month ago in Chicago. The majority of items weren't exactly new, but rather re-creations of old products. I selected four — Pop Rocks Chocolate bars, Nerds Giant Chews, Chocolate Pez, and Baskin Robbins Soft Candy — and decided to perform a taste test. Sadly none of the new variations lived up to their established counterparts. To see what I thought of each product, read more

A little birdie just sent this great deal to me, and I absolutely had to pass it on. From now until the end of the month, Baskin Robbins is having a buy one sundae, get one free deal. It's only available at participating locations, and you will have to print out the coupon. So print out your coupon, find a store near you, and indulge this weekend!

For those of you wondering if it really works: I sent my gal geeksugar on a scouting mission, and she successfully came back with two delicious sundaes for the price of one! She said the best part was that they let her create her own — although they do have pre-determined flavors like Oreo and Reese's Peanut Butter Cup — and that she was able to go crazy.

When you purchase a pint of ice cream, you expect to receive a pint, right? Somehow the folks that pack the "hand packed pints" at Baskin Robbins didn't realize that. In an investigation of 416 pints, approximately 83% of their hand packed pints have been coming up short - with an an average of 4 oz (that's 25%!). Needless to say, savvy customers realized it and started to complain and Baskin Robbins was eventually slapped with a consumer protection lawsuit. The suit has been settled with the San Diego Attorney General and Baskin Robbins has been ordered to pay a total of $491,000 to the state. As of now, they are no longer offering the pint, but will continue to offer 12-ounce pre-packed containers.
