It does, but it also reduces the volume of food you are purchasing. Why
pay for air? Ice cream is sold by volume, not by weight. The more air
added to it, the bigger rip off it is.

That is one reason that I purchase haagen dasz. It is more dense so I
get more for my money on the rare occasions I purchase ice cream.

I think Ice cream should be sold by weight not just volume.
