“Cypher News”
When you’re a blogger and don’t have any real news to report, write something about folks who are too stupid to read a package label.
Breyer's is one of the worst. You can tell it's full of air by how quickly it melts. It has no "body". Breyer's seems to have embraced shrinkflation years ago.
We were juat talking about huge companies buying out smaller companies and ruining the products. Duofold made one of the best long underwear, but sold to fruit of loom i 5hink it was, now they are horrible, cheap. Poland spring water was sought out all over thw world, then the founder sold to nestle, and now its nothing like it was. So many exzmples like these.
Yes Bryers is bad. Most of their flavors are frozen dessert, not ice cream. They do make a few flavors that are branded as actual ice cream. Their mint chocolate chip is pretty good and it doesn’t glow luminous green like most other brands
Happened in 1977
The Government changed the requirements for ICE CREAM
Prior it was just milk and cream at a high percentage. anything lower was ICE MILK
Now it is chem clean
A a 1976 Hoodsie cup had more nutritional value than a quart of what is being sold now.

One reason to cross the boarder up to Canada. Ice cream (including those soft serves) not allowed to be sold with less than 18% butter fat.
My wife says cooks don’t come out the same since Crisco removed the trans fat.
I worked in an ice cream factory. No chocolate for me and only Haagen-Dazs.
Cookies. Not cooks
Same here.
Sorry, if reality sucks. I was working in factory orders at that time. We had a group of American companies that we tried to promote as a made in America group. They couldn’t hold on. Their costs had to be made up by price. The Chinese had their government covering their costs and didn’t need to make a profit. Not finding made in America products in-store was an effect that was downstream of where the problem was.
BTW -Ross Perot was a Dem plant.
Häagen-Dazs still makes real ice cream, and it’s the only one I buy.>>> Ditto and i used to work in an ice cream factory.
I use vanilla ice cream for my root beer floats. Cheap IC is okay. I also use it to make pecan topped vanilla in a sugar cone.
The article boils down to a complaint that the Breyers frozen dairy dessert they bought is just that- frozen dairy dessert.
If you want ice cream, buy ice cream, not frozen dairy dessert.
I do that and I’ve been boycotting Chinese made products when I can for years because of their frauduent business practices. It’s easier to do that now because manufacturing has moved to many other countries. China is still a big problem though. Thank God for Trump!
The bioengineered ingredient is the xanthan gum.
Costco vanilla ice cream.
