Written By: ninny on 04/21/08 at 11:56 am

I prefer HD but will eat anything (I'm no snob).

I haven't heard the name Sealtest in YEARS!  We always bought that brand.

Of the regular store brands, I prefer Blue Bunny best... :)

Whatever is on sale. Out of the brands listed, I probably like Breyer's the best, especially the coffee and strawberry flavors.

  Ben & Jerry's (which I'm enjoying right now - Chunky Monkey, yum!) and Dreyer's...

  Dreyers is a little pricey but it's the best ice cream in the supermarket freezer.  Ben & Jerry's is more of a convenience store thing...

From the list I picked Ben and Jerry's Haagen Daaz and Baskin Robbins; I also like going to Stone Cold Creamery once in a while where you get to create your own flavor and they make it right in front of you after you order it (even if it is a little pricey).  :)

Yep. I go for whatever is on sale as well. When ice cream is costing you $6.29 a HALF gallon, you have to look for bargain brands or not buy it. Luckily, the grocery store we frequent usually has bargain ice cream, and usually in the lowfat or light region.

However, I do recommend the Haagen Daaz Toasted Coconut Sesame Brittle if you can find it. Oh my god, it is seriously addictive...and fattening. :P

Breyer's, Friendly's and Turkey Hill.

But, here in Southern CA, since I can't get the latter two, Baskin-Robbins (which I can do without sometimes) or Maggie Moo's (which my wallet can do without as well, but my son loves it).

I like all kinds of brands, Ben & Jerry's, Haagen Daz, Baskin Robbins, Dreyer's, and Blue Bunny. Cold Stone Creamery is great too, but a little expensive.

Of course I miss Thrifty ice cream. It never fails to bring back childhood memories. The Rite Aid stores sold it here but they all closed recently.

I was fearless when it came to trying new flavors. One I plan to try in the future is one that they have at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in California. They have garlic ice cream. (It's really vanilla with a garlic note at the end)

But I like normal flavors too. I just have crazy taste. ;D

I LOVE ICE CREAM!!!! Too much... I wish this poll had been on flavors rather than brands!  ;D

I like skinny cow... a recent discovery thanks to Oprah. 

I like all brands really... .one thing I have noticed tho is that the store brand neopolitan is much better than the name brand. Dreyers or Breyers neoplitan uses really rich flavors so the choc, vanilla & strawberry don't blend so well.... but in the store brands the flavors are not as rich so they make the perfect combination.

mmmm ice cream.

did  I tell you how I went to Cold STones last month and ordered their version of the banana split? The guy had never made one and he pulled out the half gallon container. I told him they usually use the big cup.... he shrugged and proceeded to put 8 scoops of sweet cream, topped it and then filled the rest with whipped  cream...  he forgot my cherry but I didn't complain... I really liked that guy!  ;D

Breyers tastes like water and air

Baskin Robbins heir denounces his own chain as containing too many chemicals

I like the roadside stands that ell custard or something out of a machine they make themselves.

Ohio had a company(maybe defunct now) called Isley's(Isaly's??)They used to sell the syrup they made in cans, so if you moved out of town, you could order it to remind you of home!

I sometimes find that the local grocery store (Wegmans) brand of Ice Cream taste as good as the national brands,and with the price$2.49 a half gallon you can't go wrong.I also like Perry's which is made in Akron,NY

Custard stands are the best,In the summer we go once a week for custard or soft-serve. :P
