Breyers Chocolate Ice Cream is the Best

[slayer202]

stopped at trader joes on my way home. didn't see any regular chocolate. they had something called reeses tracks, I believe. They also had coffee bean, which I got.

Meh...Ben & Jerry's isn't Ben & Jerry's anymore...


From wikipedia:

In April 2000, Ben & Jerry's announced its acquisition by British-Dutch multinational food giant Unilever.[6] Unilever said it hopes to carry on the tradition of engaging "in these critical, global economic and social missions." Although the founders' names are still attached to the product, they do not hold any board or management position and are not involved in day-to-day management of the company.

I VOUCH FOR NOTHING BUT CHOCOLATE!

lol

ugg... local traders joe's is out of the ultra chocolate

but at $4 for 1 quart, i'm thinking Turkey Hill Dutch chocolate is the better bang for the buck at $2.50 for 1 1/2 quarts (when on sale, which is often at my local supermarket)

 

[eits]

used to be better b4 they got bought out and the new company changed the forumula w/cheaper stuff like gum extract

it used to be just:
milk
cream
sugar
eggs
cocoa

have you tried haagen dasz' five ice cream?

it's amazing.

you're lucky, because the coffee bean sucked. enough that I'm hesitant to even try the chocolate now

Ah well, it's still part of the 'good ice cream' topic.

I don't have Kroger's...

Homemade chocolate ice cream is the best, actually.

Boy, that didn't take long.

I'm not sure what Krogers is, tbh.

it kinda sounds like a disease.

 

[Craig234]

Ben & Jerry's Clusterfluff is the best ice cream ever.

Had that last night

But it wasn't my favorite. I liked their cashew they got rid of.

Pistachio is great, melted a bit, I don't know how the nuts stay so crisp in the ice cream, some brands they are soggy.

 

[Craig234]

The best 'ice cream' in the world is Gelato in Italy.

 

[CPA]

Brayers doesn’t make ice cream it makes frozen desert. Why? They use palm oil or something like that instead of real cream which came from a cow:thumbsdown: The way real ice crem is made

Wrong

 

[Tristicus]

Edeys or whatever is better.

Kroger is the largest grocery chain in the country.

I'm not a fan of Turkey Hill since they use HFCS.

I can get Breyers 1.5qt for $2.50 sometimes. Since ice cream is not a frequent treat for me, it works out well.

But as far as national brands go, I agree.

na i only make home made ice cream like once every 3 years so mine is ok but not something to brag about. i can never get it creamy like the big boys can.

The best ice cream in the world is bluebell. its still 1/2 gallon tub. they didnt do that marketing scam of smaller containers but keep the price the same or raise it.

not so large that they operate anywhere that matters
