Maybe it is the high sugar content. It appeals to the sweet tooth but
then you want more. Real ice cream, OTOH is rich and satisfying. I have
not bought ice cream in the 5 years since I bought my ice cream maker.
Before that I was buying the premium brands with more cream and,liek the
home made stuff, I find that a little bit goes a long way.
