RE:McDonalds. Yep. Though I stopped eating fast food in 1997, I stopped McDonalds Ice cream way before that. It is still thick even when warm.
We rarely have ice cream any more at my house, but when we do, we get the cheap stuff and yes, it says “ice cream” on the container.
When I lived in seattle (moved away in 2011), my favorite ice cream was Safeway’s Snow Star brand, and vanilla.
“...but when we do, we get the cheap stuff and yes, it says “ice cream” on the container.”
They lie you know. It is cream and it may be iced, but the grade may be just inside the legal limits of the FDA. There are seven different types of cream recognized each one containing a certain amount of fat:
Half-and-half, Light Cream, Whipping Cream, Heavy Cream (or Heavy Whipping Cream), Manufacturer’s Cream, Double Cream or Clotted Cream. All have specific uses except they can be substituted for another as the FDA doesn’t set the standard except for the makeup of it, not the use. Like Forest says about a box of chocolates...
