In the future, people are going to own frozen dairy dessert, and they’re going to be happy.

If the milkfat isn’t being put in the ice creams, then where is it going?.................

Yet another example of why the word “enshitification” has emerged to define almost everything one buys these days.

So, the dessert has less fat, which may be healthy.

Does it taste good?

My experience is non-ice cream desserts taste as good and have less fat. I still have to be careful because they tend to be addictive.

Humans love sugar and fat. We tend to eat too much when it is easy and cheap.

McDonald’s started using a shake mix rather than ice cream for their shakes over 60 years ago. This has been the practice by a number of sellers. Cost effective.

Häagen-Dazs still makes real ice cream, and it’s the only one I buy.

Damn. We have some Breyer’s “Homemade Vanilla” in the freezer. Going to check this out right now.

I do like Publix's Homemade Vanilla, although it says it has a bio-engineered food "ingredient".

Why don't they have to say WHAT is bio-engineered? At least it's still a half gallon....

Just a note from Blue Bells website:

“ Blue Bell’s flagship flavors (e.g., Homemade Vanilla, Dutch Chocolate, Cookies ’n Cream, etc.) all meet or exceed these requirements—typically containing 12–15% butterfat and using real cream and milk as primary ingredients. Because of this, Blue Bell can and does legally label its core products as “ice cream.””

I don't even want to read about what the execrable Ben and Jerry's did with their ice cream!

(Especially not this one...)

Ive known this for years. It taste nothing like ice cream. Hard to miss. Mr. Softee and Carvel seem to be unchanged from what they were in the 1960s.

They are grown up and are just now learning to read the package? Idiots. Most of us caught on to that during grade school. Plus anyone who watched the fictional “Rich Man Poor Man” during the 70s learned about how to get rich by manufacturing and selling fake ice cream. This all didn’t just now happen.

They increase the sugar or other sweeteners to compensate for the loss of the fat and milk solids.

Fat and milk solids are actually food and sate hunger.

That’s known as ‘shrinkflation’!

Well this is what I found: nowhere on the carton does it say “Ice Cream”, but nowhere does it say “Frozen Dessert” either. Maybe on some other flavors, Breyer’s has many. I only bought it because the store was out of Hagen Das, and I remembered that as a kid I like Breyer’s vanilla, it had specks of real vanilla beans. This one doesn’t that I can see, and it is just not as good as I remember.
