Geez, you must be old as dirt. And I'll bet you marked
the price on the cans with a stamp using purple ink.
And all of the brands of ice cream would have been
insipid crap. Good old days, indeed!


Mark...." insipid crap. Good old days, indeed!"

What's this 'Insipid' crap you talk of?... Well I am a few years on from
Edwin..Like 68... And if I take the 'Old' taste buds back to when I was
a Youth.... I can honestly say that comparing Ice Creams and other
things one would find in a 'Milk Bar' (That's what the places that you
went into to buy Ice Cream etc, were called in Oz).... The Ice Cream
that is made today (not including the Gourmet one's though) were far
richer and tastier than their counterparts are today....There is simply
no comparison of quality..




Mark is probably remembering "melorine" instead of ice cream. Melorine
usually came in a square carton, and if I recall correctly was made with
low fat milk and vegetable oil and *lots* of air. But at least it had
real sugar and not HFCS :-)
