Ben and Jerry's is full of gums and garbage. Never understood why anyone buys it? They have great marketing though and I guess if people just want sugar with gum it fits their needs. I think that company is lousy!

Haagen Dazs Chocolate Peanut Butter is AWESOME. Their rocky road is amazing also. Rich chocolate, big nuts, smooth marshmallow cream ribbon....ok I'll stop now

My favorite store bought ice cream is Talenti. It's made only of few, natural ingredients. Delicious!
Not the cheapest, but I print coupons online.

Mango, pineapple, lychee, now (IN MY OPINION) these are awesome ice cream flavors.

better way to reply...

These are the ingredients I do not care for in my ice cream (from the nutrition info on the Breyers label):

VEGETABLE GUMS (CAROB BEAN, TARA, GUAR), CARRAGEENAN,

Well, at least carrageenan is a form of seaweed, so you can say you are getting your "greens."

Breyers is not a brand that we buy at our house. In fact, we pass it over when it's on sale too. Just not a quality product. (IMHO)

I like Coldstone Creamery and no store bought will ever suffice after taking the turn.
Cold Stone's coffee lovers is the best!

Last I check, most Breyer's label their containers as "frozen dessert" did not say Ice Cream.

I'll try [almost] anything once, maybe twice Thanks for the info on the Breyer's Choc/PB.


These are the ones we usually get: Turkey Hill
https://www.turkeyhill.com/frozen/fr...natural-gelato


Inspired by Italian gelato recipes, our All Natural Gelato is made with simple, natural ingredients like fresh milk, cream, and real sugar.
So what is gelato? Find out what gelato is.


https://www.turkeyhill.com/frozen/fr...atural-recipes
All Natural Ice Cream Flavors


Get a good taste of Lancaster County lifestyle with Turkey Hill All Natural Ice Cream — churned with all natural ingredients and a little extra cream for unforgettable richness


I also like the Breyer's gelato in the cappuccino and tiramisu flavors.


As in the comments from previous posts - as in little indulgences.


I may stop once a month at a local place that does soft serve ice cream, as a special treat for getting the mortgage payment out.
