Best Answer

Ice cream is not "mostly air." However, inexpensive "bargain" ice cream is often referred to as "all air" or "mostly air," because manufacturers can whip up the frozen mixture, incorporating more air than needed, so that a smaller volume of product will appear to fill a large container, thereby adding to the manufacturer's profit.
