Truth in advertising, icecrean lies

[dryheat]

The socialists would have you believe that what the ice cream sellers tell you is the truth. But here is actual,visual proof that that is not always the case. Evidence:

Nice huh? Let's see what is under the lid.
45998

Not so pretty eh? Let's dig a little deeper into this coniving subtrafeous plot.
See picture below.

Oh, one little nut. So, that proves that there are nuts in the ice cream.
It's undeniable. What's the matter with you?
Well, we aren't nine years old anymore.

Just kidding. I love Turkey Hill ice cream. The pictures were just
pure luck.

In the freezer in my kitchen there is a 1/2 gallon of Blue Bell Dutch Chocolate lurking! I must be strong! Their advertising is no lie! Sincerely. bruce.

[Allen]

Ben and Jerry's ice cream is probably full of lies as well since it is a liberal dive.

Blue Bell is the best plus they don't play politics. Never heard of Turkey Hill--just not sold here. All we need is Blue Bell.

What gets me are hamburgers the way they are pictured vs what you actually get.

[lyman]

probable the first or last half gallon filled,

Turkey Hill is some good stuff (owned by WaWa I think)

was told years ago when I was in the grocery biz that Chocolate was the catch all,

seems, according to the person that worked in a plant, Chocolate is strong enough to cover most flavors, so this plant person told me that it would sometimes have Strawberry etc etc in it as well, (using left over production runs to make a batch)

full of it likely,,,

You should probably not read the labels. You'll find that most of 'em are not "ice cream" at all. They're "Frozen Desserts". Just like that Turkey Hill stuff. Likely they put no butter in that Butter Pecan frozen desert that is not ice cream either. A frozen dessert can be made out of anything, usually water, but at least one Indian manufacturer uses vegetable oil with no milk products of any kind.
One does highly recommend a locally made sorbet. Company is Chapman's(Markdale, Ontario.Just north of here.). They make real ice cream, frozen desserts and a truly fabulous orange sorbet(the Rainbow will do. The orange seems to be scarce.). Isn't exactly cheap at $4.24Cdn in Wally World, but if you need a mental health boost(had a doctor try to tell me ice cream does nothing for your mental health. Laughed at him.), it's great stuff. Don't think it's exported though.
Oh and there are no nuts or grapes in Post Grape Nuts Flakes breakfast "cereal" either.

and no post either.

Coca-Cola (Coke) no longer contains cocaine (coke)

Quaker Oats are not necessarily grown by Quakers.

Alcatraz prison is called the rock but it is actually a real prison with jail cells, hallways, bars in the windows, bathrooms and more. Much more than just a rock.

In the meat section of the grocery store you can find chicken packaged as "chicken parts". Contrary to popular belief this is not for building your own chicken nor repairing your existing chicken.

Birds Eye vegetables contain just that, vegetables. No birds eyes what so ever.

Never eat at a restaurant that claims "Mom's home cooking". If the food is so bad there that their own Mother would not eat there it must be bad plus they really can't verify that she is home and cooking so definitely misleading.

[Vern Humphrey]

What gets me is ice cream parlors that advertise "Hand scooped."

What other part of your anatomy would you use to scoop ice cream? If I walk into an ice cream parlor and see a guy with a scoop between his butt cheeks, I'm walking right back out again!

In the freezer in my kitchen there is a 1/2 gallon of Blue Bell Dutch Chocolate

Check the label, I'll bet it is less than 1/2 gal. 2 years ago I noticed that the instant oatmeal and grits increased the amount of "fines" (grain hulls) in the packages. They float to the top when you add water. Suspect they did that to round out the weight, but keep the same $. I would rather pay a little more for honest measure. Same with the "bag of air" with potato chips, popcorn, et. al. Another way to pay more for less.

most companies reduced the size a few ounces years ago, and yes, kept the price the same,

Hershey's is now 1.5 Quarts, not 1\2 gal,

re the chips, you buy by weight , not volume, the big bag help keeps the chips from getting broken in transit,

and yes, that weight has changed (actually more size options available now then before)

I drank milk since an infant but I cut that out a year ago and am surprised that I don't even miss it.

Don't know why you gave up milk but if it was because of the fat my wife weaned me off of it years ago by going from whole milk to 2% then skim. Now all we buy is the organic 0% fat (or skim). Only $3.00 for a half gallon here @ WM and the expiration date is longer.

"...is called the rock..." So is Newfoundland. Isn't a prison though.It's a training centre for Partiers. You party with Newfies you'll have been at a party. If you live through it.
"...use to scoop ice cream?..." You should walk back out if he's using his hands too. You have no idea where he's put 'em. snicker.

Especially if you partake of "Nuffie Screach"

[Allen]

NYC is called "the big apple". I can think of more appropriate names for it .

[JimF]

Anyone from Massachusetts here?
Do you recall a ice cream brand named Parker? (Bridgewater area, I think.)

[S.A. Boggs]

What about "free pickup" wonder who the genius was that thought that one up?
Sam

[Allen]

How about "you can keep your own doctor" ?

[Sunray]

"..."Nuffie Screach"..." That'd be Newfie Screech and its a blend of rums. Newfies are mostly of Irish descent and take their partying seriously.

used to be able to buy Tillamook ice cream with huckleberry's in it in the Phoenix metro area.
I haven't been able to find it for about 4 years or more now.

Rib eye steak = just a piece of meat. No rib and no eye.

[lyman]

Rib eye steak = just a piece of meat. No rib and no eye.

Ribeyes are from the back of the cow,
the meat world calls that middle meats,

if you walk by the cow from the tail to the head,
the Loin runs from the rump (the hip bone or aitch (H) bone is where the sirloin starts, and ends at the first rib, ) this is the Sirloin, Porterhouse, Tbone)
the next 7 are the Ribeye,
as in on the rib when first processed, and the eye is the center part or muscle that is also the strip or loin,,

Bone in Rib Roast, Bone in Ribeye's , Tomahawk steaks etc etc, or pull the meat of the ribs, and sell as beef ribs and boneless ribeye's

after the 7th rib, you have the Chuck, the first couple ribs are good to cut a Chuck Eye steak from (cooked medium rare as all steaks should be , the Chuck Eye is fantastic)

then the neck,,


so endeth the lesson from an ex Meat Manager, (19yrs, Journeyman cutter/Manager)

Asked wife to bring home a lb of bacon, was 12 oz. Asked her why the switch from what I usually purchase and she said all the packages looked the same! From now on I am buying the bacon.
