My earliest memories of ice cream were that it was
insipid crap compared to the premium ice creams
you can buy today. But then again, my parents
always bought the cheapest stuff (technically,
"ice milk"). I didn't know they had Breyer's
back in the old days.

They made fanstastic ice creams back then. In the early 60s, soemone
(Formost? Carnation?) made an ice cream called Strawberries n' Cream.
Easily the best ice cream I've ever tasted. REAL strawberries. Not
the tasteless freeze-dried crap you see today, but real, fresh, juicy
strawberries mixed in vanilla with a "cream" swirl running through it. It
was ice cream nirvana.
