these comments are definately interesting! i always was a tasti dlite fan… i always thought that they’re flavors were surpirsingly good for a low fat soft serve. for people who have been eating the stuff for a while tho will probably agree that in comparison to how tasti used to be, the stuff has progressively gotten worse. I used to love it! i don’t get it tho, why would they mess with something that was so good before?! honestly, i dont really like the stuff so much anymore
not to be disloyal to my old pal tasti, but i like TLC better now. The flavors taste more like how tasti used to be back in the day… maybe even a little bit better?
Is there any expalation for this? Anyone know what could have happened to my old favorite soft-serve?

I think we can all agree that everyone has their own preference of ice cream. Personally, I greatly enjoy having this as a treat because of the good flavors and not having to worry about all the bad stuff that is typically put in ice cream. No matter which company we think is better (tasti-D vs. TLC)it all depends on what is our preference. We do not need to bash on TLC or Tasti-D but we should give them advise on what we think would satisfy our taste buds.

I’m new here and this is my first post. I was seeking reviews/opinions on TLC. I am a middle-aged male in very good shape (5’7 tall, 28″ waist, 134 lbs) and look a good decade younger than my age. I can’t achieve such results without watching what I eat (obviously) and exercising fairly regularly (3 times a week usually). I also love food and have a sweet tooth. Hence my desire for ‘alternative’ treats that are healthy and calorie-light. I often bake my own pastries at home and make substitutes to achieve my goals. I stumbled on one TLC store for the 1st time this past weekend after stopping at a Pinkberry. I decided to give it a try and had the small cup with the original vanilla/chocolate combo. It is advertised 85 calories. Let’s assume it is 100 to 120 calories. A pretty good deal – and healthy! Guess what: I loved it! Granted ‘real’ fat and calorie-rich ice cream might taste better but one has to make a choice. Considering the bad stuff that is taken off the TLC product, the taste it retains is still very statisfying to me. I liked it far more that either tasti-D or pinkberry. It fulfills my cravings for sweet treats more than adequately. I will probably become a regular.

I don’t know if Im doing something wrong but when I have good flavors than claim to be lighter I ended up abusing of “the not guilty state” and having double portions,it happened again at TLC location at Park Ave. I was also a victim of the Raspberry flavor…..

I think the discussion about tasti vs. tlc is great. unfortunately, it’s really a discussion of tasti vs. tasti and franchise vs. individual ownership. tasti d lite had always been an agreement between retailer and product supplier to sell the product and be able to use the name. when tasti was bought up by those intending on franchising the brand, the individual owners were left with the choice of converting their stores or losing the name and product that they had been dispensing for some as long as 18 years!
The creator of TLC was one of these owners who had numeral tasti locations. when faced with the option of going at it alone or paying up to the man, he decided for the former. with his knowledge he created a product that fills the same niche as tasti, but uses an organic base, no corn syrup, and some (not all) organic flavors. The concept of tasti is still there, but just with a twist. If it’s better is a matter of opinion. better for you, yes, but with the exception that its about 25 calories and ounce instead of 20.
For those seeking the creaminess and fullness of traditional hard ice cream won’t find it with tasti or tlc, because that’s not what they are. They are basically ice skim milk. thats it.
I think the recent sprouting of frozen yogurt stores in nyc is truly amazing. between pink berry, red mango, yolato, 16 handles, etc., the market is over saturated with fro yo. tasti and tlc still stand out as NOT BEING frozen yogurt. They are soft serve, but thats the only similarity they share with this new wave of frozen dessert.
I give props to TLC. i will say that despite it being a chain, the simple fact is is that no two stores will be the same. flavors in one might be better than flavors in another. Simply being a licensed retailer of a product does not ensure that the product or machines are being maintained for optimal results. A franchise often enforces these regulations and hence more consistency from store to store.

Nick78, I think you are confused.

1. This blog is not for The Lite Choice. We stand behind their effort to be natural and organic but taste wise, it just doesn't cut it.

2. Lon is from FoodMayhem.

I don’t know what company you work for or represent “Lon”, but why are they spending time and money to search blogs and analyze who wrote what and why. Obviously this specific blog is in favor of The Lite Choice, and it bugs you a lot. People like me and others are looking for a better product, and want to blog about it. Your comments are rude and offensive not just to me but to any other blogger who would like to share their thoughts and experiences with others. I think it is pretty clear that it is YOU who is working for another company. Why else do anonymous and my comments bug you so much? I guess it’s obvious.

I find it pretty remarkable that people will post comments pretending to be an average consumer when they are in fact from the company we’ve written about. Perhaps it’s not obvious to all readers, but since we read dozens of comments per day, we are quite good at recognizing who is from a company and who isn’t.

So, a few of the recent “anonymous” posters and nick78, you clearly are involved with TLC. We’re happy to have you commenting here, as long as you accurately identify yourself. You are only fooling yourself anyway.

For an example of a beneficial and interesting comment, check out “bj.emerson”‘s comment. He has identified that he works with Tasti D-Lite and provided good feedback to the community. Thank you BJ!

Back to anony-nick, next time, please try to avoid the deception and just be helpful, everyone will be happier in the end.
