I would normally agree with that but in this instance it's true, Bryer's has gone waaay downhill, if you live in the SE area Publix brand is 10X better than Bryer's, they operate their own dairy out of Lakeland FL and their ice cream is better than all of the big-name producers with the exception of Ben and Jerry's but B=J's is more than double the price of Publix brand.

Costco sells ice cream that's actually made from cream -- what a crazy idea, right? It only has 5-6 ingredients total (cream is the first ingredient), and is FANTASTIC. It does only come in a vanilla flavor, and is super thick. It's the Kirkland Signature brand, around here (MN) it's ~$9-10 for two of the half-gallon containers.

yea costco premium ice cream is hands down the best you can buy, the creamy texture is unique almost like a gelato . wish they made chocolate.

Fresh cream, skim milk, sugar, pasteurized egg yolks, natural vanilla, carob bean gum, guar gum. Contains milk and eggs

There really isn't much wrong with that list.

Milk is a given
Maltitol Syrup is just sugar
Toffee is Toffee and has nothing too ridiculous in it.
Milk, Salt, Soy Lethicin, which is harmless.
Maltodextrin is also sugar

And rest is more sugars, some binding agents and flavors.

What is exactly wrong with that list?

A shitload of things are wrong with that list:

WAYY too many gums and thickeners in WAYY too high a level
Cheap sugars
Potentially dangerous artificial sweeteners like Acesulfame Potassium
A higher level of soy lecithin than of cream


Now, here's the ingredient list of Haagen Dazs Vanilla:
cream, skim milk, sugar, egg yolks, vanilla extract


See a difference?
