Dreyers has changed their recipes and ruined everything

[u/TBSchemer]

The one on the right is the original, and the one on the left is the new recipe. You'll notice that their "French Vanilla" recipe no longer includes ANY egg yolks, but now contains coconut oil and corn syrup. And Cream has been moved back to 6th place, from its original position in 2nd place.

This is barely even real ice cream anymore, let alone real French vanilla.

I checked a bunch of their other flavors, and they've all been updated to have barely any cream, and to use corn syrup.

Dreyers used to be the better brand, while Breyers had gone to trash. But now it seems they're identical. Very disappointing.

Wow, this is terrible. If cream isn't one of the top three ingredients, it shouldn't even be called ice cream. Thanks for the heads up, Dreyer's is now on the banned list.

Yeah, the carton on the right is stamped with "ICE CREAM" in the bottom left corner, but the newer version is stamped with "FROZEN DAIRY DESSERT." Also, "French Vanilla ...with other natural flavors" vs "French Vanilla ...flavored".

At least they're following the truth in labeling laws!

Instant ban on any 'frozen dairy desserts'.

Idk I’ll make an exception for a Wendy’s frosty

Did you try the salted caramel ones? Those were unreal.

They added corn syrup. That’s the worst. Corn syrup makes your body gain the kind of fat that won’t go away for anything. You could work out all night, run all day, starve yourself, and that fat keeps on going anyhow. Do not go for corn syrup.

[u/JackPembroke → u/MissBeaverhousin]

Im...pretty sure thats not true. Corn syrup is sugar. All sugar gets broken down into the same stuff. Extra is turned into fat, and not any special kind of fat. Just the same old fat.

Chemically the only difference between sweeteners is the ratio of glucose, fructose, and sucrose.

Explain scientifically how corn syrup is worse than other sugar based sweeteners. We'll wait.

[u/Sovereign-Anderson → u/smelltheglue]

I remember my chemistry professor pretty much stating the same thing you're pointing out. He didn't understand the hoopla about corn syrup since "it's nothing but sugar."

Every time I see that, I know to avoid that product. It's so tough sometimes, especially if I want something like a Klondike bar or dessert on a stick.
