One day my mom bought a pint of Ben & Jerry's vanilla ice cream, and my dad had 
bought a pint of Mayfield vanilla ice cream. yet, the Ben & Jerry's weighed a 
LOT more than the Mayfield (and it tasted better). My dad said that the 
difference was because one contained more overrun. What exactly is overrun? Is 
there any way I can calculate or estimate the overrun of a pint of ice cream I 
purchase at the store? THanks!
