Probably because of shrinkflation and because they're taking all the good stuff out of it. Seems like most of it is no longer ice cream but "frozen dairy dessert".

I feel like you could take this story and change “ice cream” to anything and for me 90% of the time its true. Quality has been sacrificed for profit.

I noticed that for the first time a few years ago, when I had Breyers frozen dessert sitting in the sink for two hours.

Initially, I put it there thinking that it would just melt away like ice cream normally does. Nope.

Good stuff? Ice cream is just sugar, milk, and heavy cream.

I stopped buying store ice cream because I just make my own instead. Cheaper and I can curb it to my liking.

Yes so why is there so many ingredients in store bought?

[–] NuPNuA@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Flavourings, preservatives, etc.

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

There aren’t? Have a look at breyers ice cream. There is like 5 things listed.
