Find a local/regional place to hit the next level. There's a Meolas near me that has ice cream that's creamy as all fucking hell

Is Baskin Robbins good ice cream?

It's pretty good, I really like their milkshakes! Overall though, I like Cold Stone more.

It's pretty generic ice cream, but they occasionally have flavors you can't really find anywhere else, so there's that novelty.
Like, they used to have a watermelon sherbet with, I think, licorice or possibly just sprinkle "seeds" in it.
God, I wish you could just get that in a grocery store.

How dare you. Have you never been in a bodega before?!
I like their vanilla and orange cream.

Last time I tried it was way back when I was a kid. Do they still let you try some out for free?

It's okay. Much like pizza I haven't really ever had 'bad' ice cream. But BR isn't top tier by a long shot either.

On Second Scoop went pretty crazy for two recent flavors:

No one messes with Haagen Daz, best ice cream ever.

So what's the best store-bought? Don't say Blue Bunny, either.

I have heard about things that are pretty fucked up from Japan, but I always was like meh, whatever.
But this shit is unforgivable.
Their watermelon ice cream is the bomb! And yeah it has "seeds" that are some sort of sugary wax. Just a fun ice cream.
Love this stuff from BR:
Always thought fallon's was way better and I like colbert a lot more than fallon

No need to get anything else. The GOAT.
Don't say that. Baskin Robbins will find out. Baskin Robbins always finds out.
It doesn't, in my opinion. But I really love the setup from 31. Here's this brownie/strawberry cup I like! But the ice cream alone is kinda boring. I much prefer Ben&Jerry's and Haagen-Dazs.

Haagen Dazs is 16% butterfat, which is a considerable step up from almost all supermarket ice cream (~10% butterfat). Ben and Jerry's is 14%.

Decent for sure, but other brands have it beat.
I don't know.
People don't like the best value ice cream.
Knew a college classmate who was disappointed when he tipped and no one sang.

Ben & Jerry's or bust.

I grew up loving soft serve more than scooped ice cream. When I found out that soft serve is apparently "cheap" ice cream, I thought to myself, "man, I clearly don't know what I'm talking about."

Y'all just need to move to Winnipeg and experience some Cornell Creme ice cream: http://cornellcreme.com/
The Lemon Meringue is amazing.
The Lemon Meringue is amazing.
Reasonably priced - Tillamook, for me, is hands down the best.
More expensive - Talenti, Ben + Jerrys, and Haagen Daas are all good.
Better still are the smaller makers like Graeters or local makers (typically regionally sold, so no point in listing specifics if you live in another part of the country).
Here's a good ice cream review site:

I really enjoy it. Great treat especially in summer when it is so hot. Plus (this is re their choc chip cookie dough) it is really creamy and sweet, and very well balanced.
lol look at this country bumpkin.

Their Mint Chocolate Chip isn't bad.
Couldn't you make the same argument about anything though? Steak is steak. Burgers are burgers. Beer is beer, etc.., but for each isn't it easy to see that there are differences. A prime ribeye is obviously better than a choice sirloin. An in-n-out burger is obviously better than a McDonalds burger.
It's not snobby to recognize that there are levels of quality within any given food category. I don't see anyone in their thread looking down their nose at people who like Breyers or Blue Bunny in here.

The best way of judging the quality of a store bought ice cream is leaving it out and watching how the ice cream behaves as it melts. The stuff that holds up and keeps it shape is full of stabilizers and over run (over run in ice cream is the amount of air incorporated into ice cream) and is not high quality ice cream. The best store bought brands are Ben & Jerry's and Haagen-Dazs. America's Test Kitchen actually had a great segment comparing store bought ice cream brands in which those 2 brands were rated far superior to all others. There's a reason people can eat large amounts of garbage ice cream like Edy's and not feel like absolute shit afterwards - because when you eat Edy's you're basically eating air and stabilizers. If you eat high quality ice cream like Haagen-Dazs you can't eat as much of it as the cheap stuff because you're eating less air and more cream, making it more filling.
