listing annatto as an artificial ingredient is hilarious especially from the super chef.

I didn't say it wasn't a natural ingredient. It's an ingredient that doesn't belong in Vanilla Ice Cream. Hope that helps

Agreed Blue Bell is trash these days. I'll eat Creamy Creations before Blue Bell.

sure bro.

I'm team Jenis. They don't have the most traditional flavors but I have learned that they know what tastes good more than I do so I trust it.
And for the record here are the ingredients in their Vanilla flavor:

Milk, Cream, Cane Sugar, Nonfat Milk, Tapioca Syrup, Honey, Vanilla Extract, Sea Salt, Vanilla Bean Specks

I suppose the lack of eggs is a bad sign but I like the texture.

Depends on the quality of chickens does it not?

You can get a pretty good look at an egg by sticking your head up a chicken

No, that's not it

My problem with blue bell isn't that I think their product is bad. Its a solid choice but definitely not the best. My issue is every time they offer some amazing flavor they pull if off the shelf. The following have all disappeared, some for obvious reasons

1. Banana Split (G.O.A.T)
2. Gingerbread cookie (slap yo momma good)
3. Red velvet cake (slap yo momma)
4. Peach Cobbler (slap yo momma)

Stop f'n with my emotions Blue Bell. Im moving on to Tillamook, brownie batter, and Marionberry Pie

2013 or around then is the last time they made this one. It was the only time I've ever had it, and I've looked for it every year since. So sad that they won't bring it back.

Tillamook is the best ice cream you can buy in a grocery store.

Graeter's would like a word.

All this talk of ice cream takes me back to old creamery on main campus days.

Yes Snowaggie! I remember going as a kid in the mid-90's and for whatever reason it shut down. Was there a Dairy program for animal science at the University or did the creamery source the milk from a local farmer? I've always wondered about that.

Blue Bell is still good! Can't beat Natural Vanilla Bean. I'm a Braums Ice Cream fan. They have a great selection. Too bad y'all dont have one in BCS...

Like another poster said above, I started making my own homemade ice cream and I prefer it over anything store bought.

I'm sure plenty of people know more about the history than do I. Do you still remember it being on main campus then? I thought it moved to a shiny new facility across the tracks in the late 80's.

I do know that I would get a gigantic chocolate malt on my way to a weekly soil science lab, then proceed to go into a post-consumption coma trying to get through those 3 hours. I also probably gained 20 pounds that semester.

It's incredibly easy to make your own ice cream for much less money and it will have better ingredients. I keep my ice cream maker canister in the freezer at all times so I can go from craving to eating in 20 min.

I do like salt and straw's salted cookie dough ice cream though.

Graeters is really freaking good.

Care to share any recipes? I make some occasionally with an old hand crank maker. I use:
2 pt half & half
2 tblspn vanilla
1 cup of sugar

I'll add fresh peaches when peaches are in season.

But I would be down to try some other recipes if you have a good one.

That's hilarious! I don't go back that far. I remember the second location across the tracks.1990-95 when we'd stop in.

That little creamery in front of the Pavillion was amazing. The line was always out the door.

While were hating on them, had anybody tried this?
