[Premium Quality]

Not sure if this counts, but this:

 

[pillowtalk]

I really like the brand in the op, just not the flavor. I'm a green tea icecream guy tho.

 

[andymcc]

I'm glad I live close enough to Cincinnati to be able to buy Graeter's at Kroger It's good stuff!

I live beside both a Graeter's and a Jeni's.

Like walking distance.

They both have walk-up windows and they're both in my dog walking routes.

It's a blessing and a curse.

Hmm, seem like people really like this brand. I want to try it.

I don't think I've ever had a bad experience with Talenti. It goes on sale from time time for $3 to $4. Great price for the quality.

 

[GKSilKamina]

I can't pick between Talenti's mint flavor and High Road's mint flavor. I think Talenti's stronger mint flavor is nicer, but the chocolate bits in High Road are WAY better.

mint ice cream is for jobbers

Mint ice-cream is wussies who can't handle proper ice cream

Mint-ice cream? What kind of jokr is that?

All three of you go to time out right now.

Ha! I can't beat that ;-) I wish I lived close enough to a Jeni's to visit one. I got her cookbook on making ice cream at home and have tried several of her recipes (which I liked) but I'm sure it's not quite the same as the real deal

 

[Shadic7700]

Bucket ice cream is garbage give me soft serve vanilla in a waffle cone any day!

 

[Sain Drevia]

Talenti is top tier. Coconut Chocolate Almond is GOAT. Avoid Halo Top. It isn't ice cream, and they generally taste like garbage (yes, even the Birthday Cake flavor). If you have a craving, just get the real thing.

 

[Yaphett Kotto]

Talenti is the shit. Nothing else holds a candle to it.

 

[Meatfist]

Where my half baked bois at?

 

[outunderthestars]

Where my half baked bois at?

Came here to post that. Leaving happy.

 

[Nepenthe]

Jeni's. 'nuff said.

Give this man a medal.

 

[Vincent Grayson]

Talenti stuff is good.

I like their peanut butter cup a lot, and their peanut butter fudge thing is weird but delicious.

 

[racketpunch]

Tillamook. DO IT.

they ship! lots of bigger US cities have them at their grocery stores. i've seen them all over.

 

[Zornack]

If you're going to be eating ice cream why ruin the experience with mint?

 

[banjo5150]

This stuff:

Is probably the best ice cream I've had.
It's at least up there. So good.
Edit: Idk what the best flavor is, but the quality is heavenly.

I have had Graeters and it is amazing.

 

[blame space]

cotton candy confetti

it's the best

 

[F0rneus]

that's not even real ice cream.. ugh

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[itwasTuesday]

rainbow sherbet

 

[F0rneus]

Can we all agree that mint and chocolate chip ice cream is the best?

 

[Rest]

I'm ready to fight someone who says this isn't the best damn mint ice cream available.

You better be ready to fight a buncha dudes, because it's not the best ice cream. It's gelato.

 

[Tender Joe]

Frozen Custard tops everything posted.

You all lose.

Edit: Aaaaaand like a jackass, I didn't read the OP. As far as nation-wide store bought ice cream goes (US only), any variety of Blue Bell wins. Blackberry Cobbler tops the list for me. (Frozen Custard is still better.)

 

[TheBear]

Lol gelato in a tub. What are you, American?

 

[MsKrisp]

Naaaah, I fell for the fancy packaging and found out that "gelato" is crap with a ton of thickeners in it. Turkey hill natural mint chocolate chip is much better, half the price for twice as much, and it's thick all on its own, baby

 

[fredrancour]

I don't have a Publix where I live, but I was in Lowe's Foods today and those little pints were like $6.50 each. That Peach Biscuit flavor sounds interesting to me. I always wanted to try these, but high and they're small. When I get my finances straight I'm definitely going to give this brand a try at least once.

Shop around if you have multiple nearby grocers. Most stores near me charge $6 for these, but the affordable one charges $4

 

[Lys Skygge]

My mom recently bought an ice cream maker, and she's made some fucking amazing ice cream. I'd say it's some of the best ice cream I've ever had.

 

[The Cool One]

Boy!!!! ✋🏿 The fact youre eating mint ice cream tells me you don't want these hands 👊🏿👊🏿. You know who eats mint ice cream bitch ass, romper wearing turds like you. Looking like you eatin ogremon's shit. FIGHT ME!!!!

Spoiler

you're not a bitch, rompers are fine,
and mint ice cream is fine I guess. Good day sir. *Tips hat

 

[HappyBivouac]

Cmon OP get on my level

Thread is about ice cream though. This is "frozen dairy dessert."

 

[Mahonay]

Van Leeuwen

The Passion Fruit Layer Cake flavor in particular is insane.

They also do vegan flavors which are great as well.

 

[Walter White Walker]

I pretty much only buy ice cream for my kids but I'm partial to the Tillamook brand. Tastes good, reasonably priced, and they have a bunch of different flavors.

 

[MsKrisp]

PREACH

 

[Velikost]

Don't get me wrong, I love a good mint chocolate chip, but there if there can be only one...

The GOAT

 

[.JayZii]

Halo Top is pretty good.

Against actual ice cream? Don't be silly.

 

[Omega Kirby]

Frozen Yogurt

 

[Fatalah]

Gelato isn't really ice cream... Maybe you just really like gelato dude.

 

[jviggy43]

mint ice cream is for jobbers

.......


Now I'm ready to throw down OP. Mint ice cream is the goat.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Cmon OP get on my level

Would be good if it was actual ice cream. They're corn syrup-laden "dairy desserts".

 

[geomon]

Cmon OP get on my level

Breyers? That shit doesn't even melt.

Blue Bell Rocky Road.

Oh god, I'm tingling just thinking about it.

 

[spazchicken]

Technically Gelato, I personally still qualify it but one spoonful of this ice cream in your mouth and you will be making yogurt in your pants.

Yeah from the poison and shit in it. Breyers sucks, ok.

 

[Robot Carnival]

'You Come at the King, You Best Not Miss'

We have a really good ice cream place right down the street so I don't usually get store bought, but recently I picked up some of these on a whim:

Holy crap they're fantastic. I know these are not strictly what this thread is about, but they're honestly the best ice cream related thing I've seen at a store in years.

Americone Dream is legit! I don't get ice cream that often but I often make an exception for these.

"Carmelly curls"

Because they can't legally call it caramel. lmaooo

 

[Schattenjäger]

Rookies ... all of you

 

[Funyarinpa]

My favorite is Via Gelato probably, chocolate flavour.

 

[Ponn]

You rich food stamp people buying your steak,lobster and $10 pints of ice cream. Just give me a half gallon of Blue Bell and i'm fine. They have a Brides Cake ice cream thats pretty great, almond flavored ice cream with amaretto and cake pieces.

edit: And the people suggesting Breyers are just wrong for that. That shit isn't ice cream, its ice milk. Don't believe me come back to it after a week in the freezer and check the consistency and texture, its fucking ice milk.

double edit: found it, this is it

 

[big_z]

nestle, chapmans, breyers and other low end brands are trash tier. they're cheap because they're not ice cream but made from gums. gives you foamy diarrhea.


EDIT: a couple months ago walmart was selling cheese flavor ice cream. it was bright orange so I assume cheddar. did anyone try that?

[SynthFetish]

Let's face it. Everyone has a "local" or "small" place that has good ice cream, pizza, whatever. But I'm talking about stuff you can buy in a grocery store or chain.

That being said, having recently had this:

... I'm ready to fight someone who says this isn't the best damn mint ice cream available. I'm curious to try some other Talenti flavors, because this stuff was a revelation.

Usually with store-bought ice cream I spend more time excavating and looking for the chunks/bits/pieces of whatever they crammed in, but Talenti's actual ICE CREAM is probably some of the best I've had.

Fight me.

Spoiler

You can suggest other brands and flavors to try as well.

That's gelato, not ice cream.
