[edit] Breyers/Dreyers confusion
From the writing, it is not clear which brand is considered the knock-off of the other? As a Philadelphian, I know Breyer's much better, but this might not hold for the West Coast, so I cannot clarify! Hillsboro 16:11, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Stephen Breyer
- , grandfather of U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Stephen Breyer [1],
I found this bit of information interesting, but then I was unable to find a source for it, or any mention of it anywhere. The "source" links to an amazon book on ice cream, but no actual quotation to verify it. Moving to the talk page until cited.
[edit] "All Natural"
Nothing about how since Breyers was purchased by Unilever they've started using emulsifiers in their "All Natural" ice cream? Carageenan, carob bean gum, something called "tara bean gum" ... and corn syrup instead of sugar. To my eye, it appears that they've been converting over, flavor by flavor, for a few years now. Now even their vanilla has gone to the dark side.
This is, of course, the company that used to run commercials of a Mikey-like kid skeptically reading the ingredients on one of those *other* ice cream brands ("carageenan? Guar gum??") I'd add this information, but darn it, I can't find any decent sources on when they started doing it, what they've done, when their old "All Natural" ad campaign ran (70's-80's?)
Where's a corporate whistle-blower when you need one?
[edit] Reads like an Advertisement
This article seems to read like an advertisement and looks like it was written by people working for the company... It's a good brand, but it needs to be less POV. I may get around to fixing it later if no one else is willing. --The Way 06:43, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
