LPT: Extend your ice cream

Submitted by Lame_of_Thrones t3_yhyau2 in LifeProTips

Buy your favorite premium ice cream. Then buy an inexpensive larger container of vanilla. When you have your ice cream, split the bowl between the premium and vanilla and each bite will take on the flavor of the premium, allowing it to last twice as long.

Life is too short to contaminate your favorite icecream with rubbish.

fuck. that.

there are some things that you just don't compromise on.

and ice cream is definitely among them.

for one thing- it isn't always about the flavour...the texture plays a big part too.

Instead of trying to cling tooth and nail to the experience of my favorite treat, I would rather put myself in the moment and savor every bit of it undiluted and unadulterated. I dwell on the textures and falvors and the memories that these sensations bring.

Then I bid it all farewell, for now, and go on with something else. Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Put the cheap shit in the empty premium box for the kids

What if the inexpensive vanilla is your favorite flavor?

You know what, at first I was like a lot of folks here, thinking "don't do that!" But if what you say is true about the flavors of the premium ice cream taking over the flavor of the whole thing, then why not at least give it a shot? I'm pretty Much a Ben & Jerry's ice creamer. That shit is like 6-8 bucks a pop. If I can prolong that into another pint somehow without noticing a decrease in quality or flavor, I'm all in.

Thank you for the tip!!

I used to like B&J, but then it got too much sugar and the quality went down a notch. But they kept the prices up like an iPhone or something!

Same for Tillamook

Now I look for local outfits who buck the industry hype of maximizing the bottom line. Sugar addiction is profitable, just like others

My favorite is about $10usd/liter. Totally worth it though. It's a treat, not a staple

Just go to Sam's club and buy the big container of the cookies and cream.

It is amazing and very inexpensive!

Nope

Difference between my favorite ice cream and the bulk buy stuff is just too far apart

Cheap stuff has poor texture, poor crystal control, separates as it melts, has a funky after taste

What I do is buy more of the smaller size containers, so I can avoid having refrozen ice cream

Also, I tend to buy plain vanilla, or something very simple like pistashio. So I don't have anything covering up the issues like ice cream with five kinds of chocolate syrup or pop rocks or any of that sort of thing
