Carton of vanilla ice cream labelled as both
"Original Recipe" and "New Flavor".

I'd be more concerned it would taste like turkey.
Or mashed-potatoes-and-gravy. Either of those is
fine in their "Original Recipe", but not as a
"New Flavor" for ice cream.

Just curious. Do you like that brand of ice cream? My MIL used to buy it
because it was cheap but my husband wouldn't eat it. Said it was horrible.
I never tried it as I don't like ice cream.

As far as I know, Turkey hill ice cream is pretty good. The labeling
doesn't surprise me. Products are routinely and blatantly
misrepresented. CBS has a morning show called "Live with Regis and
Kelly" that shows excerpt clips as come-ons the night before the show
airs.

At least you knew what you were getting.

Ice milk is now called low-fat ice cream.

I've never seen it, except in that article.
I've eaten lots of crummy ice cream, though.
My parents were always very cheap about food.
In Michigan, the cheap stuff is called "ice milk".

Aha! So that's where the ice milk went.

Bleh. I remember that horrid ice milk. We always had it when my parents
were on a diet.

My father ate ice milk. We also had margarine instead of butter.
Come to find out, the margarine was FAR worse. When I was little, I
had baked potatoes and toast dry because I hated the "butter," which
wasn't butter at all. At restaurants, I'd go ape shit on the butter
and steaks cooked as rare as the old man would let me order them. He
drank skim milk (now called fat-free), and the rest of us got 2%, but
at school they had whole milk. I always bought extra milks at lunch.
It was 2 cents a half pint when I was in 2nd grade.
