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.
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.
Edit: typo
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.
Put the cheap shit in the empty premium box for the kids
Just go to Sam's club and buy the big container of the cookies and cream.
It is amazing and very inexpensive!
Life is better when you don’t do stupid shit like this
"There's something so human about taking something great and ruining it a little so you can have more of it."
What if the inexpensive vanilla is your favorite flavor?
Edit: if
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!!
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

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
