The same principle holds for ice cream. It's fairly easy to tell a high
quality ice cream from a poor quality one if one lets tubs of them
melt. A poor quality ice cream results in a tub of mostly flavoured,
coloured, water.

I once let a tub of Green & Black's Chocolate ice cream melt. It turns
into a rather nice chocolate mousse.
