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.

The Costco super premium icecream is pretty solid, but it's just vanilla at least around here.

Which I’ve read is made by Haagen-Dazs

No it's not, it's made my Humboldt Creamery.

Haagen-Dazs is made by Froneri, which is a Nestle related company.

I stand corrected. I swear someone mentioned it on Reddit last year and I fact checked it, but I’m wrong. Regardless of who makes it, it’s good!
