In the future, people are going to own frozen dairy dessert, and they’re going to be happy.
Yet another example of why the word “enshitification” has emerged to define almost everything one buys these days.
Did you notice during the COVIS crap cans of soup etc got smaller ,LOL
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.
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.””

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.
“The scam is simple: charge the same, deliver less.”
Keeping cattle is much more expensive than it was only a few years ago. So companies have to make a choice, charge more or deliver less.
I’m not surprised they’re making the exact same corporate decision that consumers have favored. It’s the Chinese product model. Consumers picked products based on price and put many American companies out of business by purchasing cheaper Chinese knockoffs. Then when the American companies were out of the picture the Chinese companies cheapened the product. It’s called “quality drift”.
This may be true but I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for soft-serve ice cream since Margaret Thatcher helped invent it.
It sounds like what the writer is describing is a dairy product that used to be known as Ice Milk vs Ice Cream.
For myself, I stay with either Orange Sherbet or if when I can find it, Lemon Sherbet made from Meyers Lemons, this flavor has only been found at Lucky Grocery. FYI, Lucky is owned by Albertsons.
Grandkids are learning this. About two years ago while shopping bought this “ice cream” that was not and complained to me.
Did you read the label?
But it looks like ice cream.
Did you read on the package what it says it is?
But it was in the ice cream section.
Look in our pantry and you will see a can of a Crisco with a picture of fried chicken on the label. Do you think there is fried chicken in that can?
No.
Well, some people will and a sale is made.
Uh...what?
I mean, if Breyer's sells "both" ice cream and frozen dairy desserts, then to say Breyer's ice cream is no longer ice cream is just false.
We just make our own using an American made Immergood ice cream maker. We have a book of recipes that include white chocolate raspberry, cookies and cream, banana pudding, praline pecan, etc. My wife cooks up the mixture, and I make sure the ice and salt are layered in the churn throughout the process. We make it from scratch and never have worry about some company sneaking in some GMO garbage or harmful chemical.

This article is kind of whiney
There used to be ice milk and air soft like Dairy Queen which I like
Check butterfat
High grade ice cream like weed should be in the 20% range
That was a deft convergence !
Just wait til they learn about “peanut spread.”
