ugh, just had a cup of breyer's strawberry ice cream. the taste is so-so, but its just not creamy at all. screw the "all natural" tagline...this crap doesn't even come close to dreyer's offerings.

on second thought...the texture of breyer's ice cream reminds me of ice cream that's been in the freezer for way too long. :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown:

Breyers is usually quite good. The reason you probably didn't like it is:

* The grocery store doesn't rotate its stock
* The grocery store has its freezers at the wrong temperature
* You drive around for an hour with it in your car before you take it home and put the half melted icecream back into your freezer to refreeze.

Given your last statement about the texture, I'm leaning toward the 3rd option here.

Perry's Ice Cream...I view it as the black sheep bastard child of all ice creams.

I like breyers (however you spell it)

I don't know if I have ever disliked an icecream to be honest...

That stuff that comes in the big plastic tub with the handle on it. You know the one I'm talking about.
I am a Breyer's fan though. Can't beat an ice cream soda with Breyer's vanilla bean ice cream. Good stuff!

Grocery store ice creams that do it for me:

Breyers double churned chocolate chip mint - verrrrrry creamy.
Publix blackjack cherry. Huge chocolate chunks.
Häagen-Dazs vanilla and dark chocolate bars.

Agreed, that one sucks.

I have to agree with the OP. Breyers is the one brand of ice cream that I actually dislike.

Wrong. Dreyers and Edy's are the same company. Dreyers is West Cost. Edy's is East Coast. Thats the reason that Edy's website is: http://www.dreyers.com/brand/grand/index.asp?b=134

Thats the worst, hands down.

Any ice cream is horrible after it melts and refrezes, or becomes freezer burnt

Dreyers AND Edy's are owned by Nestle, but that doesn't make any of what i posted "WRONG".
