Neighbors dropped by with Hors d'oeuvres. Ice cream churning.

And some coffee after

Interesting read on "skimpflation" that even mentions Breyer's:

I saw something on the BBC today about how a major ice cream maker is reformulating to allow storage at warmer temperatures, they have quite a few million display freezers in stores and a little increase in freezer temperature makes them heroes with the save the planet greenie crowd, uses less energy. Maybe others are F'ng with it in a similar manner?

I'd post a link but news feeds are blocked in Canada, the show was called "Click".

Hate to burst bubbles but :

Product is sold by weight, not volume.
Examples I used to fret about - cereal and chips.

"New and improved" could mean a whole lotta things, usually in the favor of the manufacturer, shipper, wholesaler, retailer, etc.

Retailers put the "staples" at the rearmost area or off in a corner, wanting you to go past other items they hope you will purchase. They change the location of items regularly to interrupt your shopping routine ; think "plan-a-gram". I hated those back in '84 when I worked at a grocery store.
Between convincing us to buy in bulk or piping air from the bakery & dumping it at the entrance among many other sneaky/clever schemes some of us don't stand a chance.
Marketing is a M-F.

As to ice cream not freezing, ours gets so that it can hardly be scooped. We maintain airflow in our freezer - it's never over packed & the setting is not extreme.
It wouldn't surprise me to find out there was a reformulation that saves all those involved a few pennies to make it, store it, ship it, & display it.

Buyer beware ... stay safe

for some reason the 'click' programme is not available even in uk right now. here's an article about ben & jerrys chasing the same goal https://virginradio.co.uk/lifestyle/96796/ben-and-jerrys-develop-recipe-ice-cream-melting

meanwhile judes are cutting their 'footprint' by increasing 'plant based' ingredients. sounds innocuous but that's coconut oil, soya protein isolate and soluble corn fibre in reality. mmm - it's ice cream Jim but not as we know it.

A side note on Ice Cream, the Market I work at has been having issues w/ our retail freezers, every few days it will die, the grocery staff pulls all the products,
jams them in our main walk=in freezer, and later in the day we do a taste test on the ice cream, most of the time they end up giving it to the staff, I've been bringing home Tillamook Mud slide, super good! I sure hope they get that freezer fixed...

[quote="Q-Dog"][quote="Saturn"] Behind my shop space is a hillside covered in blackberries which arrive with a vengeance in mid-July.

That brings back memories! We had a farm in Tennessee and during the summer, we would put on our overalls and long sleeve shirts and pick blackberries. Those thorns would still get you though! Thanks for the memory!

Lately, I’ve been making an effort to read the ingredient labels more than I used to.
It’s getting harder to find ice cream that Doesn’t have any ” Bioengineered ingredients “.
I used to enjoy Winn Dixie’s Key Lime pie ice cream, until I read this on the label. I called their toll free question line and spoke to a foreign sounding individual. I asked him What was this bioengineered ingredient, and why is it in the ice cream?
After a minute on hold, he came back telling me he couldn’t answer that question, and was there anything else he could help me with?
I told him, he Hasn’t helped with Anything so far.
Have a nice day.

Probably meant GMO.

[EverettB]

A quick Google search sounds like it's GMO to me and they are including that description as it is now required.
