I bought a container of DREYERS ( also EDY's )
butter pecan ...... ice cream.

Tho the container says "Butter Pecan",
the smaller print announces; "Frozen Dairy Dessert"

No where on the box does it say "Ice Cream"
and the ingredients look like the chemistry list
from "Lil Debbie" cupcakes.

First, smaller "half-gallons" now.... "dairy dessert"
Are we seeing the end of real ice cream ?

Non dairy frozen desserts have been around a long, long time... most
soft serve frozen custard started out as a non dairy product.

did the box also say "whipped"...the 1.75 "half gallon" took the place
of the 2 quart half gallon. If you want a half gallon of ice cream
you have to get the next level down, i.e., the store label that comes
in the square box type of packaging.

Yep, someone should learn to read labels (regardless of the size of print -
maybe buy some reading glasses?). Ice Cream is clearly labelled. Publix
Ice Cream (the store version) not only says it's ice cream but also is still
an actual 1/2 gallon. It's only when you start playing the name-game you
find the containers shrink as the price goes up.

Looking at the website, I see that the Slow Churned sounds like
what RJ picked up. I guess when they start trying to make
ice cream lower in fat, they have to put something in besides
cream.

Even some of those have gone smaller recently. And the 1.75 qt.
half gallon is now the 1.5 qt. half gallon! At least Ben and
Jerry's pint is still a pint, although who know for how much
longer!!!

Well, Edy's has always been pretty bad, chock full of gums and things.
However, they do still make ice cream.
