Where you went wrong was by getting the milk chocolate Blue Bell. You should have gotten the Dutch chocolate. I didn't even know they HAD a milk chocolate but, by definition, it's a lighter flavor of chocolate anyway.

[@MuricaTurkey]

I wonder if it depends on where it's shipped from. For example, here in Oregon, Tillamook brand is local and their ice cream is SO GOOD. It tastes really fresh and it's super creamy. But people elsewhere say it's bad ice cream. Maybe the trick is to get ice cream from the brand that has a manufacturing facility nearest to you (not where they're headquartered, but if they have a factory nearby)

[@ziontrigg]

If someone says Tillamook is bad ice cream, they're simply wrong. Probably too attached to a specific brand or something. Ignore the haters LOL!

[@kimbarbeaureads]

It did taste best at the factory back when we could go fun places.

Fun Fact Time: Häagen-Dazs ice cream was first made in Bronx New York in 1960 by Ruben and Rose Mattus. The name Häagen-Dazs means nothing they just put a lot of letters together until it sounded Swedish. Häagen-Dazs the first boojie ice cream.

[@UrsusSuperior44]

IIRC (I'm not sure if it's this one or some different, but I know it was about ice cream brand), I heard a story by (I think) the daughter of the founder, that the founder was doing something in the kitchen and was constantly speaking out loud words as potential names for the brand until he stumbled upon something that sounded "foreign" enough. I'm not sure which story is true, yours, my or some different but yeah, the name was completely made up to sound bougie.

[@miniair]

Danish not Swedish

[@seniorcajun1]

That reminds me of an old pace picante commercial where they're talking about another picante sauce made in New York , and ends with the Texan saying get a rope as in we're going to hang that Yankee

Fun fact, despite its name, Häagen-Dazs is an American brand. And it's something the owners just came up with because they thought it sounded Danish (the Jewish owners wanted a Danish-sounding name as tribute to Denmark's treatment of Jews during WWII).

Was not too hard for me because I travel for work a LOT and even when I am in a state that has Blue Bell I probably do not have a hotel room that has a freezer so I cannot keep it. I seriously, do not eat Branded ice cream if it is not Blue Bell. I see no point in it. I will eat at local ice cream shops and such though.

I feel like Blue Bell’s Milk chocolate flavor is one of its weaker flavors (although not bad ofc). The one we always used to get was “Dutch Chocolate” which I think is a little richer. Most of Blue Bell’s other flavors are fantastic tho!

Come to Texas. HEB's Creamy Creations is top notch. Also, Blue Bell Dutch Chocolate is the way to go. I've never heard of their milk chocolate flavor before.

[@dfcardenas22]

John Davis you're sure right about HEB creamy creations ice cream. It's less expensive than Blue Bell, and it gives it a run for it's money here in San Antonio Texas.

The leaf is because Breyers used to be all natural when it was still a family owned company. It used to be delicious then after it was sold by the family, the taste definitely changed 😒

[@melbrown13]

That's because few of their flavors qualify as ice cream anymore, and are instead "frozen desserts". This means they don't have enough milkfat to be classified as ice cream and they use vegetable oil instead, which is why they're so flat and cardboard tasting. 😔

[@sweetheart9044]

Yes the taste has drastically changed

[@kim5229]

I'm old enough to remember when they used to brag on the carton that there was nothing in it that you couldn't pronounce...I think their vanilla ice cream only had milk, cream, sugar and vanilla.

You have to try dutch chocolate Blue Bell. That was milk chocolate which is my favorite, but to fairly compare it you need "regular" chocolate.

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

My favorite is Friendly's, a brand that's surprisingly still around. But they're hardly in the South, they're all up here in the Northeast. If you go to a Friendly's restaurant, you gotta have dessert. Even if you don't have room or it's too early for dessert. I love their French vanilla and mint chocolate chip sold in markets.

Hey Matt, when you recover from this, rank different brand's versions of chocolate & peanut butter. The Haagen Dazs one is LIFE CHANGING!

Häagen-Dazs has the best ingredients. Their Chocolate Peanut Butter is soooo goood! I rarely get it anymore though, because of the price. Baskin-Robbins Chocolate Peanut Butter I sometimes settle for.

Try a Häagen-Dazs milk shake made with their vanilla ice cream, with real strawberries sliced up with some sugar blended into it. If you want put a cap full of a good rum in it. It's heavenly!

You missed Turkey Hill brand. Great selection of flavors and the "Trio-politan" with dark chocolate, milk chocolate with fudge ripple and Dutch chocolate with chocolate chips is killer. Add one more brand of ice cream to try.... Almost as good as Mayfield!

Better, the texture is better as are the flavors.

It is the best!!! Matt done lost his mind on this one!! I've eaten all of these at one time or another and Ben & Jerry's is super-premium ice cream. To be able to claim that rank you have to have certain amounts of butterfat and other ingredients and have the lowest amount of air whipped into it. That makes for super creamy rich ice cream.
