A real half gallon made with real milk, cream 'n sugar.

Yep! My favorite ice cream!

This is why I try to get Bryer's. It's really ice cream and has the least amount of extra garbage in it. Regular flavors anyway. Bets are off on any of the candy, brownie, cookie, stuff.

Even Beyers requires you to read the labels carefully. A few months ago I realized after one bite of their "Peanut Butter Tracks" product that something was wrong. I then realized that the package didn't use the words "ice cream" or "chocolate". I sent an email to the company explaining my disappointment and received a nice note back, but I haven't bought their products since. I don't need an artificially flavored frozen dairy dessert. I used to consider it a trusted brand, I don't anymore.

I look forward to making my own ice cream this summer!

Did you know they pump air into ice cream to keep it's texture, that's why once it's opened it losses it's texture and gets frost crystals

Frozen dairy dessert means "not ice cream".

I can't stand Breyers

Me either.

Calories seem awfully low to me given that 8 ounces of Non-Fat milk has 90 calories.

Sadly, the OP "ice cream" is probably healthier than real ice cream.

A serving is only 4 oz... and as someone else pointed out, they add air to ice cream (which happens naturally when you whip it long enough in the ice cream maker).

We make our own ice cream these days. It's pretty easy. Whipping cream, 1/2 n 1/2, sugar and our own flavorings... we've made coffee, strawberry, chocolate and tons of others.... Oh, and the coffee that DH makes... rivals the Blue bell coffee ice cream which I used to think was the best ever.

As someone who has to avoid wheat flour, your ice cream has wheat flour in it because of the fudge brownie in it. I typically avoid anything that has words like brownie, cake, pie, etc in the title even if it is ice cream.

Oh, of course! Doh! I wasn't thinking of that.
