It’s Memorial Day weekend, so I ran to my local QFC to buy my annual pint of ice cream.
I instinctively picked up the Ben and Jerry’s off the shelf — cookie dough, of course. At a hefty $0.70 premium (20%!) over the next closest “superpremium” brand (Haagen Daaz), you know it’s got to be made of finest quality, all natural ingredients, right?
Thankfully I actually checked the label.
Ah, Ben? Jerry? How can you let your reputation be sullied by crap like guar gum and carrageenan? Seriously folks, it’s all over for the boys from Vermont. They’re cashing in on their reputation now to charge a premium price for an inferior product.
Stick with the Haagen Daaz — just good ol’ fashioned cream, sugar, and eggs. Delish!
