In their defence at least the ice cream is good quality unlike Ben & Jerry's. I have no idea why that shit is priced so high.

>>17526329
Don't they cost about the same?

i love haagen dazs i have a few of my favorite flavors in my freezer at all times but i don't eat that much of it just a few spoons at a time so a tub lasts me a month or two

>>17526325
What's a euro in non-terrorist money?

>>17526329
Lol what? Do you have an American hateboner or just a political one?
There’s plenty of things about B&J’s to complain about, but nobody accuses it of being low quality.

>>17526485
But it is. The ice cream is completely mediocre it's just jammed with chunks of other things that seduce people. Haagen Dazs is also American but I could eat that by the bucketload.

>>17526432
Yeah, but one warrants its price, the other does not.

>>17526485
Are you retarded or do you really think 3 types of gum, soy, and seaweed that gives you gut cancer belong in ice cream?

>>17526273
more like two if I'm exercising self-restraint

t. BMI 21

this stuff is so overhyped, overrated, and especially overpriced

>>17526748
t. Ben & Jerry's rep

>>17526752
same applies to them too. im a blue bell shill not a ben and jerrys.

This is the superior ice cream for sure

>>17526273
For me, it's Dulce de Leche.

>eating Jewish ice cream

>>17526511
You're retarded if you think those things give you gut cancer.

we really need better nutrition labels. skating by on the bare minimum legally leads to wacky shit like 100 servings in a pint of ice cream to mask that it's 90% sugar or tic tacs being listed as 0 calorie despite being straight flavored sugar.
not because I fall for it or care about the people do, but because I want the companies to suffer for peddling garbage bullshit to the masses

>>17526781
Absolutely not. It's value brand ice-cream. Shit is Blue-Bunny tier.
>>17527082
I think a Pint is standardized at 3 servings now, and the new rules require them to list total package nutrition as-well.

>>17527105
Their rocky road is bomb. Real mini marshmallows, none of that swirl shit.

>>17527114
I mean taste is subjective so eat what you like.
Yhey do have some flavors I like(malted moo shake) but it's by no means "Quality."

>>17526460
Here you go bro

>>17526963
carrageenan is legit carcinogenic including food-grade stuff

Step aside plebs

>>17526325
Seems like a good way to keep costs down since the ice cream itself is good quality with no filler.

>>17526485
I accuse it of being low quality. Not just for the thickeners like someone else mentioned, but if you look at the ingredient list it has water added to it. And not just once, but water shows up separately in the ingredient list twice. High quality ice cream should not have water in the ingredient list at all.

>>17527308
WTF, EEWWWWWW
I wouldn't have figured they could get away with selling adulterated ice cream for a premium for this long.

>>17527082
i think if something is less than 5 or 10 calories then you can label it as 0 calories
im gonna start my own restaurant that serves "diet" food or whatever that serves burgers labeled as 0 calories and ill just tell people that theres a thousand servings in one burger. theyll never know what hit em!

>>17527288
>99% likely to contain lactose
nah, I'm good where I am, rookie

>>17527120
WEll, even Quality is subjective. If thats the case nothing you ever buy in a carton at the store will compare to various ice cream shops. Though there is still one flavor publix used to have that was still, hands down, best I've ever had. called coffee toffee... vanilla cinnamon ice cream with a chocolate-coffee fudge (like, real fudge not the smuckers jarred shit.) It was basically like a fudge toffee with powdered coffee beans in it... or granulated, whatever, very fine mix.

>>17527381
Is ice cream not supposed to contain lactose?

>>17527392
not when my IBD tummy is wanting any :)

>>17527381
Look at this minority lmao

>>17526273
damn that looks delicious

>>17526273
Is the dulce de leche or salted caramel better?

I am thinking of getting one but not sure which one.

>>17527438
Post other ice cream suggestions too

>>17526325
wat?

What's the. est flavor and why is it pistachio?

>>17528029
No, I will not eat the pistachio worms. Vanilla is the best flavor.

>>17528044
>pistachio worms
>falling for the meme

Depends on your country, pint of ice cream has 5 servings on the nutrition label here though that's retarded, no one's taking five serves to finish a tub of haagen dazs.

It's kinda like the metrication/imperial units thing. America should just give up on their old "pet serving" standard and switch to "per 100g" like yurop.

>>17526273
Superior

>>17527288
Yikes, a racist indian caricature?

>>17526485
Ben and Jerry's has gone downhill significantly over the years. It's trash now that gets by on past reputation. The decline strangely coincides with them being bought out by a mega-conglomerate. .. . . . hmmm

>>17528142
true and fucking based and true. "suggested servings" are arbitrary and retarded

>>17528142
>entirety of rural america: what the fuck is a grams

enjoy your watercream

why are thirdies so afraid of food science?

>food science

>>17530832
I HECKIN LOVE SOYENCE

>>17527082
Pretty sure serving sizes aren't just arbitrary but were decided a few decades ago as being the amount the average American ate per meal

>>17530871
Ah yes, picture with text. This means empirical measured evidence is wrong.

Companies just make them up so they can say, "oh you got obese consuming our product? That's a shame, you can see on the side here we were suggesting you just have a spoonful of ice cream each serve."

>>17530906
No they don't, read up on the law
Companies can either go with how the type of food was consumed 40-50 years ago or if the product is small enough they can make the serving sizes larger if it's sold as a single packet but they can't just make it up

>>17526485
ben and jerrys is overpriced garbage

>>17526963
you're retarded if you don't see a problem with that shit being in ice cream

Shill detected.

Fuck off, faggot. Ben and Jerry's is just shit.

It doesn't matter if there's water in the ingredients list. Ice cream is about 60% water by weight. Milk is about 90% water. There is almost no functional difference between 100 g milk and a mixture of 87 g water + 10 g skim milk powder + 3 g butterfat that was put through a homogenizer. There may be a small flavor difference if it's a dairy forward flavor like vanilla, but if it's something like chocolate, you're not going to taste the difference even if you try.

The quality of ice cream is typically like 80% determined by the quality of whatever is the flavoring. For vanilla, it's the vanilla extract. For chocolate, it's the cocoa powder. And you can't really tell this from the ingredients list, since high quality and shit quality cocoa will both be just listed as "cocoa powder" or such.

>There is almost no functional difference between 100 g milk and a mixture of 87 g water + 10 g skim milk powder + 3 g butterfat
Except they didn't use skim milk powder as you can see here >>17527341

This is the information for chocolate ice cream from Haagen Dazs and Ben & Jerry's. The serving sizes are different, so we have to multiply the B&J information by 1.52 for it to be equal. B&J has 11g of fat per serving, and when multiplied by 1.52 is around 17g. That's 4g or almost 25% less fat for an equal amount. B&J also has about 15% more sugar but the protein is the same. So they've replaced the more expensive cream with water and thickeners which is pretty common to reduce production cost. They're not using water to reconstitute skim milk powder but to make it cheaper to produce.

>>17533033
Doing some quick math with these:

Häagen-Dazs, per 100 g (multiplied by 100/130):
16.2 g fat
19.2 g sugar
4.6 g protein

Ben & Jerry's, per 100 g (multiplied by 100/85):
12.9 g fat
4.7 g protein
22.4 g sugar

I don't see anything wrong with these numbers. Generally the ideal fat content ranges from 12 to 18%. More is not necessarily better, as long as you stay within reasonable ranges. For some reason people associate high fat with high quality. I don't really agree. Consider that gelato is relatively low fat but few people would consider it a low quality style of ice cream.

>>17526781
>Shit flavors
>Low quality icecream
>Only found in low income stores like walmart

>>17533108
Some people prefer sorbet to ice cream too.
Generally high quality gelato is considered inferior to high quality ice cream of the same flavor.
It's all typical European pretentiousness.

Seeing as this is the ice cream thread:
PAbros, what're your thoughts on Turkey Hill? Is there a better cheap brand or is this the best we got?

>>17533108
Those numbers wouldn't be much of a problem if you didn't know the lower fat one had a bunch of water added to it.

>>17533522
we have this in MD. this was like a childhood staple because we were poor. by no means "good" but damn it gets the job done brother

>>17533108
At a guess I high number of people that eat these are eating a whole tub in one sitting so what most are getting per serve is
>74g fat
>87g sugar
>21g protein
>1288 calories
If that's not an occasional treat you're gonna get fat.
