I don&#8217;t know why the licensing went from one company to another. The prices are comparable, and both containers are 1.5 quarts (remember when ice cream came in half gallon containers?) <a href=\"http:\/\/icecreamjournal.turkeyhill.com\/index.php\/2008\/08\/15\/shrinking-ice-cream-package\/\">The president of Turkey Hill ice cream discusses the changes in the industry in this 2008 blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t buy any of this ice cream, and I don&#8217;t plan to anytime soon. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.onsecondscoop.com\/2013\/03\/breyers-blasts-girl-scout-samoas-frozen.html\">Reading this review of the Samoas flavor sort of turned me off to it<\/a>. I could see my family really enjoying the Thin Mints flavor, but that will have to be after our move. We aren&#8217;t buying any more frozen foods until after we leave Florida. \u00a0We have to eat what we have.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t eat a lot of ice cream anymore. Perhaps due to my getting older, my stomach doesn&#8217;t handle the milkfats the same way as when I was younger, and I don&#8217;t care for the taste of the low fat variations. I&#8217;m hoping my stomach can handle the gelato&#8230;so far so good.<\/p>\n<p>Here ends another episode of &#8220;What did Major Mom see at the local Walmart?&#8221; \u00a0Hope you enjoyed it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tonight I went to the Bellevue, Nebraska Walmart Super Center mainly to pick up some Dorothy Lynch salad dressing for my boys.
