I liked High’s dairy store and Gifford’s ice cream way back in the sixties when I lived-in Falls Church.

Breyers or Hersheys. Perrys is in third place for regular non premium ice cream.

I eat either Kroger brand, or HEB (Creamy Creations) brands.

Every once in a while I’ll splurge on some Blue Bell if it’s a flavor I can’t get/find in HEB or Kroger brand. But, that’s extremely rare.

Then maybe I’ll try it for the first time.

I will do that!

Ben and Jerry’s is the best mainstream brand. Don’t worry, those two clowns dont own it anymore.

. Here are 6 ice cream brands that are mostly air

Try some REAL ice cream, even better, HOMEMADE!..............

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.
