How do you know that?


I read the ingredients. BB now uses lower cost and lower quality ingredients like high fructose corn syrup to save money.

Blue Bell’s use of High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS)

Here’s part of the Wikipedia article on HFCS:

“Some Americans seek out Mexican Coca-Cola because they prefer the taste compared to Coca-Cola in the U.S. which is made with HFCS. Kosher for Passover Coca-Cola sold in the U.S. around the Jewish holiday also uses sucrose rather than HFCS and is also highly sought after by people who prefer the original taste.”

The main reason that HFCS is cheaper than sucrose is because of the cheapness and price stability of corn.

I hope Blue Bell’s new formulation tastes as good as the old one.
