I thought I'd like the coffee and would have, except for the sugary icing part. There was a level of it at the top of the carton when I opened it. I scooped it off and threw it away. I think I would like this icecream if they would leave out the sugary part. I may try to eat it. I'd prefer a refund or to trade for the vanilla, but I don't have my receipt. Somewhat disappointed.Darian Rachalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14429704972116334813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-26895964563799203272015-08-30T03:25:04.665-04:002015-08-30T03:25:04.665-04:00Horrible!

I tried the Sam's Choice All Natural Chocolate ice cream, because the local Walmart was constantly out of Häagen-Dazs, so I finally started looking at what other choices I had, and noticed the "Sam's Choice chocolate ice cream". Comparing with a carton of vanilla Häagen-Dazs, I noticed the same exact ingredients in the exact same order (but cocoa instead of vanilla, of course - in other words, it should taste pretty close, right?) Also noticed that the nutrition labels were virtually identical. <br />Well! Taste and texture definitely not the same. Tasted more like "ice milk", and there was also something kinda artificial about the texture... don't know how to explain it. I thought it was "OK"... BUT... HICCUPS! Oh my god - hiccups off and on for the next 24 hours or more! I can't even remember the last time I got hiccups - must've been years and years ago, and I didn't eat anything else unusual that day, so I'm sure it was that Sam's Choice fake ice cream.<br />I thought I'd wait a few days and try again to see if I got hiccups again, but now I don't want to take that chance - that was just too unpleasant! <br />I don't trust Walmart. I'm sure they put some artificial ingredient in their that they don't disclose on their label. I'm gonna return the ice cream, just to make a point, because they really piss me off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-68497753995238695462015-07-24T21:22:55.179-04:002015-07-24T21:22:55.179-04:00Pretty bad...I definitely got mine from a bad batc...Pretty bad...I definitely got mine from a bad batch after seeing the pictures above, but the ice cream basically came with a thick layer of icing on top which tasted like thick sugar water. The ice cream underneath just barely had a hint of coffee flavor and had no swirls (guessing all the icing was put on top), but the doughnuts were pretty good. So, I guess that was a redeeming quality. Either way I was not a fan of the icing, and I like to actually be able to taste the coffee flavor.

I didn't like it and that says a lot, because ice cream is my favorite and I try a bunch of flavors.
