      No… ice cream 🍦

    • Exactly, both coles and woolworths in my area have deleted the peanut butter variety. IGA had it last time I looked.

    yeah pretty much this stuff

    Sugar, Glucose Syrup (Wheat), Dextrose Monohydrate, Flavour, Vegetable Origin Emulsifier [471 (Soy)], Vegetable Gum (410), Colours

      er I don't think anyone believes any ice cream is good for you

        if you make your own ice cream or you buy keto ice cream its defiantly better than most store bought ice creams. I make all my ice cream its actually healthy,

        • +6

          I don't think anyone thinks 10% milk fat is healthy. If your home made ice cream doesn't have at least 10% fat it's technically not ice cream but some kind of frozen dessert

          how do you sweeten your ice cream?

      • +6

        Actually I do believe it is good for you. Girlfriend and I had icecream cones and sat in the sun.

        We were very happy and it gave us joy. Our mental health improved.

        • Unless you break up and then everytime you have ice cream in the sun you’re reminded of better times and you get sad. Then ice cream won’t be good for your mental health anymore

      half of that shit is in everything we eat, nobody believes it's all healthy but not going to kill you mate.

      • +1

        actually alot of that stuff will kill you over time, so technically it is killing you.

      The only one of these which seems a bit suspect to me is the Soy Emulsifier, and maybe the colours/flavour.

      The rest are basically sugars. Bit alarming there doesn't appear to be anything dairy related which I thought was the main ingredient in iceCREAM

        Cream (36%), Skim Milk Concentrate not dairy enough for you?

        • good point they dont' even use real cream lol or milk.

          • +2

            @kungfuman: 36% of the ice cream is 100% cream.

          ah my bad those were cropped out of the quote in the above comment

        Ice cream obsessive here.

        Unfortunately, bad ingredients aren't the worst part.

        Connoisseur is owned by Nestle, who are notorious for knowingly selling contaminated food products, forced labor, modern slavery, stealing water, and price fixing.

        Literally hundreds of babies died in the 3rd world due them lying to mothers about their infant formula. When they found out they were killing babies, they kept doing it.

        No, that's not an exaggeration, even though it sounds like it:

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controversies_of_Nestle

        It's a shame, the Cookies and Cream flavour is particularly good. But the Streets cookies and cream is pretty damn tasty, and lets you avoid giving money to Nestle.

    • How frequently does it go on sale?

      • Not sure the Mrs does the shopping lol she only buys it if it is though, they used to have a mango macadamia that was so good. Don’t it eat often anyway but Panna is all we buy.

    • That one isn't even pretending to be ice cream though.

    Either a typo in your ingredients or they've reduced cream recently to 26% (not 36%) per ingredients list at https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/96190/conn…

    Skim milk (without cream/milk fat) is the main ingredient for Connoisseur Vanilla.

    For big name supermarket icecream, https://www.aldi.com.au/product/kapiti-kapiti-vanilla-bean-i… lists cream as the main ingredient, followed by milk. It is however priced 33% higher (regular price) than Connoisseur in this special.

    • Possibly, it was a quick copy, paste

  • IGA to Tasmania - 'Va Funculo!' 🤌

    Not sure if this is just me, but I swear the quality keeps going down every few years. Went from a premium to just average.

        Yeah its sucks, everything seems to just get more shit yeah.

        20 years ice cream might be vanilla/other flavoured water by then lol for $300 a tub

  • +1

    The weather is so cold in TAS, they dont need ice cream. The weather is so hot in NT, that they need more power to keep it cold. So both got excluded.

    Already ate half a tub…
