I've discovered Zilch Chocolate!

I've always been a loyal rum and raisin New Zealand Natural-ist. I go to the parlour and mouth "rum and raisin" at the server without looking at the ice-cream selection. Naturally, I'm a boring person, you see.
So how did I discover Zilch? I happened to fall into the buy-1-free-1 trap again the other day (yes, buy 1 big tub and get a small one FREE! Hurry, hurry, while the promotion lasts!) and was told that I could be eligible for a member card if I bought another scoop! So, err....I proceeded to fall into the member-card trap (bloody marketing gimmicks) but, the almighty dilemma was...What Oh What Should the Single Scoop Be?
The chocolate-radar beeped loudly and Zilch Chocolate it was - one bite and I was sorry that I did not discover this flavour earlier. As always, I need to be fair and objective so I shall tell you what my dad said.
"Alar...tastes like normal chocolate ice-cream lahhhh."
NO! I beg to differ! You can actually taste the milkiness (milk is a VERY IMPORTANT FACTOR for me) and strong, yet not overpowering chocolate flavour. The last vestiges of cold chocolate ice-cream slipping down your throat actually whets the taste buds and makes you salivate - I wonder whether it has something to do with the bitter region of the tongue - and before you know it, you are frantically digging into the smooth surface for another great scoop. At least I certainly was.
There. My testimony of Zilch Chocolate.
I want. Ooh I feel the pregnant-cravings now.
P.S.: The Zilch range actually has 0 sugar and 35% less calories than standard ice-cream. Muahaha. Guilt-free ice-cream. Yay! Another favourite to add to my chocolate list!

0 sugar? what kinda chocolate is that!
That's cos they use artificial sugars like sucralose. At least that's what they use for Zilch chocolate.
That's an idea, i'm gonna start a tong sui stall with Equal.
artificial sugar has long been proven a cancer causing agent. Avoid it in entirety.
that is such an arbitrary statement. in fact, for every fact that artificial sugar is harmful, there is also a counter-fact. so, you can't assume.
