I've seen those there. They're good, huh? As good as regular sorbet in
a tub?

Just curious,

I only tried the lemon and the pina colada, I thought they were
delicious. Nice fruit flavor. *But* I don't normally buy sorbet so
I can't really give a good comparison.

I am pretty sure the price won't compare, ounce for ounce.

I suspect you're paying a premium for those 'cute shells'... but I'm
glad the sorbet tastes good. I've seen them at BJs but I hate
pineapple.
