It isn't that good ice cream, I mean its good but its a hyped brand meme like Tabasco. I like blue bell and Tabasco but tbh shut the fuck up, its just name brands we've latched on to since we were kids. It isn't 1990 anymore, you can find better shit at wal mart these days.

>Filthy Texans not bothering to be sanitary

Why is anyone surprised?

Southerners think soap is "for pinko commies" ffs

Anyone ever make their own ice cream? It tastes different

>>6968938
>Southerners think soap is "for pinko commies" ffs

Yep you're right. Every single southerner doesn't use soap. It's even outlawed in Texas for promoting homosexualality

>>6969119
They use imbreded after-birth as soaps lol

>>6968956
It's usually not as good because you don't have the big industrial freezers that companies have. The faster your ice crystals form, the smoother it will be. A bucket with ice and rock salt. Does not freeze homemade ice cream very fast...

>m-muh southern pride ice cream
Shit is incredibly mediocre, and now this. Yet more proof that God hates the South and wants to wipe them off the map

Question: why would the workers in a factory, who are paid on a fixed rate, have any concern over whether or not old materials go to waste? It's more likely that these practices were mandated by corporate to cut down on waste and get the greedy most out of overhead costs, with the intention of any blame detected being shifted onto the migrant workers whose labor is already being exploited.

I'm saying this from first-hand experience, having worked in the factory of a major food manufacturer on the weekend night shift that was mostly foreigners and this is absolutely how it works.

>>6969707

>why would employees care about quality of work if they're not getting loads of dosh?

Spoken like a true nigger.

>>6969712

Shilling harder does not answer my question.

Salvaging wasted materials actually implies that they went out of their way to do something in the material interest of the company's owners, so your 'muh niggernigger quality production' strawman really doesn't hold up.

>>6969717

>salvaging

It's waste, only a disgusting brown or yellow person would consider floor food passable.

>yew ignant if yew dun ead it

>>6968956
>>6969229
Why is mine so delicious, then? Leaps and bounds beyond even the premium brands, seriously. At a fraction of the cost.

Homemade vanilla ice cream:
$1.30/quart (4 cups)

Storebought vanilla ice cream:
$3.25/pint (2 cups)

Even the most expensive ice cream I make regularly, black cherry, is half the price of the storebough:

Homemade black cherry ice cream:
$3.25/quart

Storebought black cherry ice cream:
$3.25/pint

>>6969719

Brown or yellow workers didn't pay for those materials, they're only being paid fixed for labor. They have no logical reason to care if the trash gets wasted or gets used back up, only the corporate entity that controls their pay and tells them what to do does.

Wait, are you suggesting that these factories don't have surveillance in place on the production floor, or that they do but don't actively have anyone observing the footage? Because that's only slightly more illegal.

These aren't the Upton Sinclair days kid. Laissez-faire capitalism will not be coming back, despite your deepest wishes.

...And all the shills in the house say 'NUH'

>>6969720
What sort of ice cream maker do you have? Mine always takes 20 or 30 minutes to make, and the ice crystals are large.

It's delicious, yes, but nothing like the texture and consistency of a good I've cream shop. It's usually very dense, too. I'm not sure how store bought ice cream is so airy--do they whisk in a lot of air during mixing?

Great thread. I liked the part where the guy was trying to write off the Lysteria deaths caused by Blue Bell with racial slurs but then couldn't respond to the question of adequate quality control by surveillance that is currently required by law for a conglomerate such as this to operate.

>>6969723

>they're victims

How's sophomore year of uni treating ya?

>>6969755

Why do you refuse to answer my question? I'm not asking you about the racial background of factory workers who have zero input in implementing policy yet that's all you seem to be unable to get past. Will you give my question about factory surveillance a straight answer or not?

>>6968778
Having been born and spent a lot of my life in Texas, I'd like to say this: Blue Bell isn't very good.
I haven't tried it since it has been back in stores, but if it tastes like it did a few years before they pulled it, it is still not worth the price.
Hell, HEB store brand is a better tasting ice cream. It has been a while, but I'm pretty sure Kroger and Safeway brands taste better too, I tell ya hwhat.

>>6969759

>why won't you jump through pointless hoops I engineered to discredit your opinions about migrant workers and make their faults as disgusting savages the fault of "poor management"?

Fixed that for you teenaged liberal American.

>>6969766

Asking you to explain what you meant is tantamount to 'engineering hoops' that you can't jump through? I think your problem is you bud.

>>6969775

>you're stupid if you don't understand my bullshit

Trolling used to be an artform. Only obese people are this lazy.

>>6969766
P.S. still haven't told me how waste recycling that you allege was somehow the workers' doing and never-ever a policy implemented by corporate to greedily attempt to cut down on trace amounts of overhead loss, or how this somehow got past surveillance for years

>>6969782

The type with the gel-bucket.

The texture comes smooth, dense and wonderful. Don't know why. People here say it shouldn't be possible, but it is and I think they're talking through their arseholes.

My recipe for all fruit ice cream is the same:

100g sugar
pinch of salt
350g fruit, preferably frozen
350ml half-and-half
>or 175ml each double cream and whole milk

Put sugar and salt in the blender and blitz into powder.
Add fruit and dairy and blitz smooth.
Pour through a sieve to remove chunky bits then run through the machine for 10-15 minutes.
Makes 900-1000ml of ice cream.

For vanilla, swap the fruit for 300ml of skimmed milk and 50ml of extract. Heat the milk over gentle heat or a double boiler then whisk some of it with some cornflour/cornstarch and the extract to make a slurry. Off the heat, whisk the slurry into the mixture and chill overnight. Powder the sugar and salt then blitz in the mixture and the half-and-half and run through the machine.

>>6969798

I've got an idea for you: why don't you just go back to whatever think-tank sent you to post moronic babble on /ck/ and tell them you were told to fuck off?

>>6969825

>think tank

I'm not the one babbling about migrant rights, Ceasar Chavez happened before your time friend. Do not blame the laziness of employees and their inept, 3rd world mentality on "oppressors" or "bad management".

That's a nigger tier cop-put.

>>6969545
>workers in factories make all production decisions

>>6968778
One summer we went on vacation to California, while there my sister desperately wanted to tour the Jelly Belly factory.

It was very clean. I feel like all food companies should offer tours.

>>6969836

They'd most certainly clean up the spillage they create and put it into the nearly finished product so they're not fired for being lazy, wasteful, incompetent savages.

>>6969831

Can you quote the part where I said anything like that? Earlier you said that I was arguing that the workers were victims; if anything it's the people who died who are victims of Blue Bell's actions, and corporate who are now the victims of their own actions.

I need you to explain the plot hole in your theory that 'the brown and yellow workers did it' where surveillance wasn't involved. Maybe the Blue Bell factory is situated in a wormhole stuck in the 1920s? I really am curious about what you're saying, but you can't seem to get past the circular logic issue that the workers have a different skin hue than you, even though it has nothing to do with the policies and their enforcement that led to this travesty.

>>6969842

Everything you say is ad-hom and nigger loving hippie bullshit, stop talking.

>>6969840
So it makes you wonder why they got away with doing what they did.

A bump for the shills who wanted this thread dead after it backfired on them.

10 cent word there mate, surprised you're capable of forming full sentences at this point

absolutely nothing you've said disproves that dirty people, brought up in dirty places, will do dirty shit to maintain their pathetic and disgusting lives.

migrants, even when provided the services/facilities to be clean, often refuse to do so...as bathing is "unhealthy" and removes "essential oils from the skin that cause premature aging and skin cancer".

I don't know where you live, but it must be a sad homogenized place. i pity you.

>le british dry wit 'i trel u'

Can you cite the reason you think the workers at this factory were specifically the kind of people you were talking about? Is it because factory work is fiscally a subordinate occupation, and therefore the people most likely to be doing it are migrants? What does it feel like to project the delusions you've consumed into everything you see?

>>6970032

>cameras on every square inch of factory floor

Why are you implying I'm British when you're under the impression all factories have CCTV's every inch a person walks? I'd say you yourself are British, only a person from such a heavily monitored society would construe this as "normal" business practice.

Undue/unmerited monitoring violates even a migrants personal freedoms. Sorry you cannot enjoy the sweet tastings of actual freedom there. Perhaps you're crying over the word migrant because you're one of those people that camped out in Calais welcoming dirty brown savages into your nation claiming "refugee" status while homelessness figures explode within your indigenous population...that's another conversation entirely though, although you DO sound an awful lot like an ANTIFA pamphlet.

>anyone is charge is bad, and white
>subordinates are abused and it's not their fault they're disgusting savages, whitey did it

You are a black londoner, also an ANTIFA member, that, or you're female. Literally no sane person would stoop to this level to claim "victory" over the Internet except those types of people.

>>6969989
I'm cheap. Powdered sugar is $2.69 per 32oz/900g package. Table sugar is $1.89 per 64oz/1800g package.

>>6969991
I may take one later today. It's from Aldi, believe it or not, and cost $10, at 66% off because few people here want to buy kitchen machines from Aldi.
I bought it two or three years ago and have been making fucktonnes of ice cream and sorbet each summer since. Between myself, friends, family and neighbours, I work through about 3-4 gallons of ice cream each year, mostly in the summer months.

>>6970050

I'll admit that the assumption that you were british was based on your use of the word 'mate', I should have just assumed you were some idiot trying to ride on the coattails of banter colloquialisms.

The article itself clearly said that the production waste being recycled into production instead of discarded took place on the production floor, and if you think cameras aren't or shouldn't be present there for the purposes of regulating mass trade production, there's no amount of showering that could wash off how disgusting you are.

Glad you can recognize my enduring victory against your half-cooked attempts, though.

>>6968778
lol, Texas is fucking disgusting.

This is somehow worse than the Mexicans picking your cantaloupe and shitting on it while doing so.

>>6970144

at least u tried

>>6970057
have you ever figured out the power cost for blending the sugar into a powder? i doubt it comes to a buck sixty per 64oz, but idk

>>6970091

I didn't read the article, I'm responding to your worship of brown people and your ethnomasochism.

>>6970091

>no one else in the world uses mate to define a friendship or association to another person in a friendly manner.

How sheltered could you possibly be living in the UK, are you a brutalized housewife living under Sharia Law in Kent? Christ...

>>6970210

I'm not british and you haven't changed the subject of the conversation. I'm still waiting for you to acknowledge that surveillance was present on the production floor and therefore the waste being recycled into the final product had to have been a liability of the corporation's efficiency production model at some level, for a long time, that can't justifiably be blamed on employees.

>>6970192
Probably less than a penny.

>>6970192
>>6970353
Definitely less than a penny.

Let's see: $1.89 buys 64oz of table sugar.

Using a 300 watt blender for 15 hours would cost, in the US in 2009, an average of 84¢ (that's a half hour daily for one month).
>i can't find more recent numbers, but even at /triple/ that rate, it's only 0.28¢ per minute, not even a full cent.
>source: http://www.energyhotwire.com/appliances/kitchen_appliances/appliances_blender.html

It takes about 5-10 seconds to run a blender long enough to powder 100g of sugar.
>source: that's how long it takes me to powder sugar at home

Even if powdering sugar 100g at a time, it would cost under a cent to powder 64oz/1800g of sugar (18 ten-second intervals to power through it all = 3 minutes). So, we'll round that up to a whole penny: $1.90 for 64oz of sugar powdered at home or $5.38 for 64oz of powdered sugar bought at the store. Yeah: it's a no-brainer.

I'd rather spend that $3.48 on something other than powdered sugar.

>>6970350

It is the fault of the employee, not like the suits were down in manufacturing handling the mess themselves. They work in USA, on Visas, in an "At will" state meaning their employment can be terminated for any reason, at any time, no explanation needed. To secure their employment maximum yields must be met, ergo... their disgusting "10 minute rule" about floor food comes to the surface.

Take a cruise, on ANY line... you'll see what I am talking about. Then again, that would mean parting with disposable income, which we all know goes to your 3L jugs of beery flavored cider and boxed wine.

Off topic, but why is the entirety of England comprised of alcoholics?

>>6970493

I'm hearing a lot of ten cent words and still no acknowledgement that if this was in contradiction to mandated policy, it would've been picked up by surveillance before consumers had to succumb to illness.

>>6969838
>go to jelly bell factory
>free samples afterwards but limited to some small amount per time at the store
>no line so go through it several times

>>6969762
From one Texan to another, I absolutely agree.

My dad, on the other hand, still buys Blue Bell, because it's what he bought his entire life and he is stuck in his ways like that. I think he also likes it because it's cheaper than other brands.

I imagine this goes for most people who still buy Blue Bell. They haven't and are unwilling to try any new or different brand, because they refuse to believe anything can be better.

>>6969953
>They themselves self identify as Southerners

Take your identity politics and shove them. Texans can't identify their way out of reality.

>>6970493
So either they can't control their peons or they are not managing the production floor. It actually sounds like pressure on middle management, not the suits.

>>6969608
>limited to 3-4 flavors
And they chose the shittiest 3-4 flavors, not even their natural vanilla bean or mint chocolate chip are in production. Those were the two flavors I actually saw people buy.

Because aside from cases of corruption, the way they work in most civilized places is surprise inspection.

Just the other day I went to order lunch and they said it would be an extra 15 minutes because the health department was there. I left but the next day they still had their A grade.

He was wading through it with dirty ass boots and I guess every floor of the place is self contained so none of it left that area and after he fixed whatever they just sucked the stuff back up and put it through the machine again.
