In fact, I just found this regarding Snow Star: https://www.reddit.com/r/nostalgia/comments/wuhis5/it_was_probably_was_the_lowest_quality_cheapest/
That’s like one big goldfish being gobbled up by an even bigger goldfish.
**Are there still Piggly Wiggly stores?
I always thought that was a fun name for a grocery store.
Haven’t seen one in decades.
Blame Unilever. They bought out Breyers some time ago and started monkeying with the ingredients quickly. The Strawberry used to have four ingredients, not any more.
It started with Cool Whip. Companies saw that people buy that crap and started thinking...
“Cool Whip Original is made of water, hydrogenated vegetable oil (including coconut and palm kernel oils), high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, skimmed milk, light cream (less than 2%), sodium caseinate, natural and artificial flavor, xanthan and guar gums, polysorbate 60, sorbitan monostearate, sodium polyphosphate, and beta carotene (as a colouring).[12] Cool Whip is available in an aerosol can using nitrous oxide as a propellant.”
“**Are there still Piggly Wiggly stores?”
We have one here....................
At least they have to label it as something other than ice cream. I’m not crazy about everything the FDA does, but I’d hate to think what food manufacturers would be doing if the FDA had never been created. If you read about some of the food adulteration from before the FDA, you’ll realize that many (if not most) American food manufacturers are no more scrupulous than Chinese or Indian ones.
Bryers Butter Pecan label.
INGREDIENTS:
Skim milk, cane sugar, corn syrup, pecans, cream, coconut oil, corn syrup solids, fructose, less than 2% of: dairt product solids, water, mono and diglycerides, butter (cream, salt), peanut oil, guar gum, salt, carob bean gym. tara gum, nataural flavir, annatto (for color) whey.
Contains milk and pecan
Elsewhere on rhe container it says: 100% milk and cream
Is the brown stuff fudge or something else?
Piggly Wiggly was the first modern style self-serve grocery store.

She should check out the Aldi’s Premium line of ice cream. It has a short ingredient list and very little whipped in air. You can tell by the weight of the container that you’re getting your money’s worth. They only sell it in two flavors — vanilla and chocolate — but it is excellent and the price is right.
“They made it LOOK like ice cream… the fancy label, the ‘Rainforest Alliance’ leaf

Any intelligent person could have stopped reading right there. PT Barnum was right.
My coffee. 6% Alexandre’s.
What?
We’ve been there and back before. McDonald’s HAD been “shakes” but went back to meeting enought milkfat that they are now milkshakes again.
Dairy Queen used to have signs in every store, “Ice Milk Served Here”. DQ uses 5% milk fat. “Ice Milk” has disappeared as a classification, replaced with “reduced fat ice cream”, “low-fat ice cream”. “Soft-Serve” and “Frozen Dairy Dessert” are also acceptable.
I would normally solve that by going to Carvel, but they barely exist around here. Covid casualty.
Real IcdeCream:
The basic ingredients needed to make homemade ice cream typically include milk, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Some recipes also use egg yolks for a richer, custard-style base (French ice cream), while no-churn versions often rely on sweetened condensed milk or whipped cream for sweetness and texture. A pinch of salt is commonly added to enhance flavor. Optional stabilizers like guar gum or xanthan gum can improve smoothness and prevent ice crystals.
FWIW: Breyers claims its milk is sourced from cows that are not treated with artificial growth hormones
All the Great Value branded cartons are labeled "ice cream".
One Gallon of Great Value vanilla ice cream is listed at $7.27.
