There is no substitute for the best. Last weekend, I was sent to the store to pick-up some ice-cream for movie night. I went to Albertson's (since it is so close) and I stood in front of hundreds of frozen-treat options. I knew what I wanted, but what I wanted was SO much more expensive then some other lesser brands. Because I knew what I wanted, I scooped-up the Tillamook ice-cream and put it in my cart. But after some thought, I just could not justify the extra cost. So, after starring hard at some sticker-prices, I grabbed some random, cheap, store brand ice-cream (it was on sale two-for-one).
I drove home thinking I had been wise going with the cheaper option. But as we gathered for movie night and ice-cream, I was very disappointed in my choice! The ice-cream was hardly worth it. It was almost . . . gross. I mean, if you are going to embrace the calories, it should be worth it, right? :-)
Anyhow, come to find out . . . THE BEST ice-cream (which is ANY flavor of Tillamook) is more than 2 dollars cheaper if you go to WinCo! So, from now on, I will not settle for cheap imitation ice-cream. From now on . . . only the BEST!
The absolute best: Udderly Chocolate. (Though Chocolate Peanut-Butter is a close second!)
Yep, perfection. (Could have really used some of it on my crying day!) ;-) wink!
Don't settle for less than what you really want -- you will be disappointed.
Remember: good, better, BEST!
Dad would be proud.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I can think of is one called "frosted chocolate malt" that used to be at an ice cream store in Phoenix called Swensons. I don't know if they are around any more.

ummm...are you pregnant? ;)
ReplyDeleteHolden -- :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, and when I am not crying -- I am thinking about chocolate.
Never settle for store brand ice cream. Tillamook is a great choice -- there are some others that are also great:
ReplyDelete•Blue Bunny (remember Fuddrucker's)
•Blue Bell (from Texas)
•HaagenDazs
•Ben and Jerry's
•Baskin Robbins
•Farr's
If economy is a concern, either Breyer's or Dreyer's is passable.

Dad, after thinking about it, for me -- it is a texture thing. Tillamook (in any flavor) seems to have nailed the perfect ice-cream texture. Baskin Robbins is pretty darn good, too. But some of the others (particulary those that come in small cartons) seem to be a little too "hard" for my taste. Don't get me wrong, I will eat them . . . but if I had to pick out of all the ice-creams in the world -- Tillamook is number one! :-) But I do agree that most store-brand ice-creams are not worth it, and your list of products far surpasses any of the gross stuff. :-) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteBasically, Tillamook is just the best brand for all dairy foods and treats!!!
