Probably the additives.
Try some REAL ice cream, even better, HOMEMADE!..............
My sister and her family lived for a while in Carroll County Maryland and there were two sisters down the road from them who sold their own handmade ice cream out of a little roadside shack in the summer. Only three flavors available but that stuff was great!
Too much work for me. There are a coupe of dairy farms within a half hour of me who make and sell their own. No crap in them. Jeni's from the grocery stores is pretty clean, but pricey.

Almost all ice cream is about 50% air except for more expensive brands as Häagen-Dazs and Ben and Jerry's, which does not mean you are getting more for the $. Butterfat % is a main factor in taste, with cheapo being the legal min. of 10% or 12%, w/ brands as Häagen-Dazs,and Ben and Jerry's being about 14%. The family farm where I worked for years it was 16%, and 42% solids.
But ice cream melts, and souls live forever, God had a higher call. Thanks be to God.
