A half-gallon is slightly less than two liters, and is not intended to be one serving. Its a bulk purchase to serve a family, usually multiple times. (Although I have eaten one in one go when I was a young man.)

But why are people buying a rare treat like ice cream as a bulk item to eat repeatedly? Seems like something we want to discourage?

Because

a) when you split it over four people it's only ~two evenings worth of desert.

b) don't tell me what to do with my body.
