I'm not about to buy any just to see if I can read the ingredients ;-)
About the only flavour of ice cream we buy is vanilla, sometimes
French vanilla. Breyers vanilla changed, both in flavour and texture.
After the first bad one we thought we'd just got a bad batch but, the
next one was the same strange taste and *goopy* texture.
Won't buy any more.
