Not looking forward to it, though my ice cream-loving kid probably won't care. TJ's mini PB cups are SKUNKY on their own, IMO, so I'm not surprised that they're bad in this, too. I think their filling is their downfall - very smooth and quite off in flavor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-25017920430185657322016-11-17T21:32:19.410-05:002016-11-17T21:32:19.410-05:00correct, I've only seen one non-negative comme...correct, I've only seen one non-negative comment about this ice cream and even that person said it was light on the mix-insDubba Scoopshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07135130511349727532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-41734773438613955622016-11-17T19:23:20.480-05:002016-11-17T19:23:20.480-05:00Junk Banter had a very similar experience with thi...Junk Banter had a very similar experience with this so it's not just you.

I should have looked harder for it.<br /><br />@Anon#1: thanks for listening! short answer is less air, less fat (milk > cream) but a long answer can be found here http://morellisgelato.com/the-difference-between-gelato-and-ice-cream<br /><br />@Alek: I'll probably just eat it though it is tempting to return.

U could just return the lid and they will happily refund for you. No questions asked and use the cash for something else.

I'm actually a proponent of good clean classic flavors. There is nothing wrong with something like a top shelf vanilla (graeters non-chip vanilla is my favorite vanilla for example). <br /><br />That said, I feel that if a flavor promises mix-ins, there better be plenty of mix-ins. Don't say you have truffles and then give me one truffle for every 4 or 5 bites, i want one or two truffles in every bite.<br /><br />Oh, one more thing. I don't appreciate flavors that try to do too much and wind up just cancelling everything out (take "the tonight dough" for example). that just seems like a waste to me.Dubba Scoopshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07135130511349727532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-17253805325819728462016-11-16T16:29:04.070-05:002016-11-16T16:29:04.070-05:00I agree that it is rather disappointing - I did ge...I agree that it is rather disappointing - I did get a couple pretzel chunks in the few bites I had, which was nice, but there were also some boring bites. I am tempted to buy a container of jingle jangle to mix in with the rest. Maybe I will drizzle some caramel on top, as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-48231972245507705372016-11-16T16:08:33.189-05:002016-11-16T16:08:33.189-05:00I saw this at my TJ's the other day - I took a...I saw this at my TJ's the other day - I took a pass. There are very few 'loaded' ice creams that I like - hence, I'm<br />not a big Ben & Jerry's fan. I like a smooth experience - say what you may, but my all-time go-to is Haagen Daaz (sp) vanilla.<br />Boring, you say? Maybe... but I guess it's the purist in me. If you take a beautifully pure flavor (like HD vanilla) and put forth a high-quality product - it works for me. It's a pure, smooth, delightful experience. I'm willing to experiment - I'll continue to read the reviews here, and if something catches my eye, perhaps I'll give it a shot. But Dubba, I believe you've said that you're a fan of ice creams with everything but the kitchen sink in them, and this world-view fascinates me. I believe we can actually separate the species; products with a ton of stuff in them, and the 'smooth' varieties - nothing in them but flavor, cream, and sugar. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
