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.

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.
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/
Yes and as DM II just the smell of that stuff makes me dizzy - in a bad way.
A little sucralose into real cream tastes really good to me.
I think a lot of you guys are way behind on the news that fat is good and sugar is bad.
