Breyers is nasty? You woman.

I've never had bad ice cream from the store, I don't remember which brands we get but they're not expensive.

 

[ElFenix]

the off brand one that comes in the square box

 

[Ultralight]

Breyers used to be great when it was made in Philadelphia and then it was bought and moved out of city, out of state...

 

[LS20]

breyers is f'cking delicious. theyre all i buy - the ingredient doesnt have anything i dont recognize, and it tastes like mmm mmm goodness

 

[irishScott]

All fresh ice cream is good ice cream.

The generic stuff that comes in the 1 gallon buckets already freezer burned at Walmart, who knows what brand it is.

I wouldn't even call that stuff ice cream, it is pretty bad.

Fixed for you.

 

[blazerazor]

I think blue bell is very good too. Vanilla Nut Bean is the bomb and I like it best of any brands vanilla.
Now chocolate, Häagen-Dazs has it going on.
Next Ben & Jerrys... everything else is boo-boo.
That 'double curn' stuff is crap, I hate it when someone brings that stuff back from the store.

Breyers is nasty...it never tastes good, its way too expensive, and it always has a crap texture.

 

[fallensight]

I will toss a theory out for why the breyers texture is off at times. Edys/dreyers, Blue Bunny, or other regional vendor supplied icecreams are shipped on trucks that run at a good -10F. Breyers and many store brands like kroger, ship through the regular frozen loads from the stores' wharehouses. These trucks usually only run in the 20F range, sometimes closer to 32F. Not keeping it at the right temps does bad things to the texture. I will never buy a kroger brand, I have seen way, way too many come in melted at a wharehouse level.

I have never, ever had a bad experience with Breyers, and the local upper-end grocery store routinely sells the "half gallon" size @ 2 for $5.

In fact, this is the first time I've ever seen or heard anyone badmouth breyers. It's fantastic for store bought.

Fresh is better, but only marginally.

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 dreyer's ice cream reminds me of ice cream that's been in the freezer for way too long. :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown:

breyer's FTL

Um, perhaps it was in the freezer too long?

I buy Breyer's Ice Cream every once in a while and it has always been very very good.

 

[n7]

I love Breyer's.

I suspect the reason you disliked yours is because you got the "natural" sh!t, which IIRC, is loaded with horrible aspertame, instead of sugar.

Ironically enough, it's basically more chemicalized than the normal stuff.

"Natural" or "Sugarfree" ice cream = bad bad bad horrible stuff.

 

[ZetaEpyon]

Breyers is really good, the mint chip tastes really clean and crisp.

Besides, if you really want creamy, man up and get some frozen custard, not ice cream.

Most Hated - Ben and Jerry's.

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.

you forgot:

employee was supposed to put icecream back but he waited till the end of the night and the night...option

I got back home in about 10 minutes after leaving the supermarket, so 'm thinking the supermarket might have dropped the ball...either that or breyer's is just plain bad.

 

[FoBoT]

i never met an ice cream that i didn't like

 

[BoomerD]

For store bought, Dreyers is at the top of my favorites list.
Breyers is better than MOST "house brands"
SOME made by local dairies is still better than Breyers IMO.
MOST Schwan's Ice Cream is better than any of the above, EXCEPT their Rocky Road...that one sux.
Dreyers Rocky Road is the best in that flavor ever...

funny you should mention this. i bought that heinous box of breyers at ralphs...which is owned by kroger. so maybe the crapfulness of this box of ice cream is due more to the s&h of the supermarket. hm...

so for those who love breyers, which store do you usually get it at?
