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.

You should blame your idea of early ice cream on your parents, then.

We had a couple local dairies that sold ice cream (their own), heavy
cream and anything else you would find from a dairy, and it was better
than almost anything except artisanal local ice cream today. This
relates to when I was growing up in the 40s.

Geez! You're old as dirt! :-)
