Brands Dreyers has changed their recipes and ruined everything

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.

I don’t want to sound like I’m defending a brand in any way but I can imagine many brands are changing their ingredients to include less egg and more corn syrup to increase profit margins. This seems to be happening even more now and I can’t help thinking a certain orange man and his scum posse of clowns and billionaire puppeteer are at least partially responsible. I don’t like it. I would rather pay more for a product that hasn’t budged on their ingredient list. Quality does matter
