Grapes are deadly poison to dogs. One of the boys (don't remember if it was Ben or Jerry) brought some grape ice cream to his girlfriend and she left it on the counter. Her dog ate some and died. B&J then stopped making grape ice cream.
Turned it off after that guy said a 3 day wait to buy carbines and pistols is good. Then went on to say theyre gonna slowly erode the 2a. Wtf. People trying to be neutral/play both sides end up helping tyrants
How did I not know that .45 caliber doesn't break the sound barrier?
My father is not a man, and never was, so I've had to teach myself how to be one.
What are the best sources you'd recommend for information about firearms and gear?
I have watched a lot of Paul Harrell and I really like his style. Need more info on the gear that is available out there and maybe some channels that are dedicated to building guns and parts.
I want to add an optic to my carbine but just learned what MOA was last week, to let you know where I am in my journey.
I want to take the next step but don't know which way to go. Any recommendations you could give me would be appreciated greatly.
How did I not know that .45 caliber doesn't break the sound barrier?
Makes it pretty great for suppressed guns, I was thinking of getting a service size .45 with a threaded barrel because of it (would just get one of those modernized double-stack 1911s but I don't like manual safeties).

Yep. I just read and watch people who seem to know a thing or two. Ian from Forgotten Weapons/Inrange TV is great too.
Another thing I do is I post on gun forums in a particular way. Basically, I disregard possibly being wrong about something and just post what I think is right in order to get people to correct me. As long as you're not embarrassed by doing that, it's a great way to get some specific information you want that might not be obtainable otherwise. Just, obviously, it's pretty important to be willing to admit when you're wrong. But at the same time, be sure to only be convinced by people who are coherent and logical. Don't just take their word for it, make them convince you. I do this for pretty much everything on internet forums though, not just gun stuff.

For that kind of thing I just look up the specific sort of thing as I intend to buy it and compare multiple sources and try to find commonalities. I'm no expert myself yet either, so I still have to research any given thing a good bit before I'm comfortable buying.
Edit: Another thing is don't try to find perfection in your purchases. You're never going to predict what's actually close enough to perfect for your goals without some hands-on experience. You're going to make mistakes and regret some purchases a little. Just try to be smart with what you buy, it doesn't have to be perfect as long as it fulfills the designated purpose pretty well and you can get good experience out of it.

This is sage advice. The rest of your post is spot-on too, but this is gold.
Not being afraid to admit you do not know the answer to a question is incredibly empowering and, as you eloquently stated, can be extremely informative as well.
I live my life this way but I have never really thought about how that translated to posting for information in the forums before.
I appreciate you taking the time to type it out for me/us.
Being that self-aware and considerate tells me a ton about you and your character as well.
Cheers u/Webasdias, you're a good shit, I owe you a beer.
YouTube "forgotten weapons" is great if you want to learn how to strip down a variety of modern and surplus weapons as well as familiarise yourself with the various actions and trigger groups and gas systems. He goes over all the mechanical functions of a high variety of weapons in detail.
I live in Australia, guns here are rare, we can't have semi autos only either. I though it prudent to learn about guns. Forgotten weapons is an amazing resource
Don't know if it matters to you, but the guy who runs Forgotten Weapons hangs out with an open Satanist. You can see both of them in their on-location segments.
They also seem like huge dicks in real life. The channel is a no-go for me since I found out.
Thanks, this is one of the few I know. One of my absolute favorite channels on YT regardless of category. Great content. Great recommendation. Thank you!
Yeah .458 socom is crazy. I saw the guy from demolition ranch shooting it. Apparently you can get a kit to convert any ar-15 to .458 socom. It's apparently less likely to over penetrate in home defence situations and puts alot not energy on target. It's devistaing like a shotgun slug but alot faster.
It's not a kit. A simple upper and bolt carrier group change. 30 SECONDS. Uses the same standard mags. It... it a little slice of heaven. .458 socom at 500 grains.... thats 11 rounds in a standard mag... 5500 GRAINS of "Go protest in some other neighborhood.." MUAHAHAHA.... it is an amazing round.
I once got stopped by the cops for buying Cherry Garcia. He thought I was driving suspiciously ever though I was just in a driveway dithering which way to turn for my CG. It was night, small town, and the cop thought I was talking about Jerry Garcia when I tried to explain.
I remember when they were with Häagen-Dazs as the few premium ice cream options. Now there are so many other higher end brands that B&J's is lost among competitors. If another brand in my town could have something like Heath Bar Crunch, I'd start eating ice cream again.
I prefer Turkey Hill All Naturals which can be found at Kroger's in Texas. Doesn't include anything but sugar and cream for the base. Chocolate and vanilla bean are good.
With that being said, been trying to stay away from sweets for the most part.
I'd consider Tillamook premium. I haven't bought any in a while, but I remember them not having weird ingredients. I think they also source their dairy from smaller farms where the cows are usually grass fed.
Interesting! I love Tillamook sharp cheddar and always buy it to have onhand. Vac bag and shelf life that seem to last forever. But I love Tillamook cheeses for sure. I will certainly take a look at their ice cream because there's no doubt in my mind that it will deliver beyond my expectations. $5 a quart is quite a fair deal. B&J, etc cost that much for a pint!
Thank you for the recommendation. I hope I can find it here in the deep south.
IDK what that brand is, but it’s probably like that Walmart “ice cream” a while back. The one where a mom accidentally left out a small cup or dish of it outside in the hot summer sun for a few hours that her son was eating, only to find it hadn’t melted.
That is so disgusting, processed food is the absolute worst thing to happen to humanity and America is getting fucked by this garbage.
It’s why I thought Michelle Obama’s school lunch program was the absolute most retarded thing to ever happen to our school lunch system, instead of focusing on serving less processed food they focused on ingredients like whole grain and fat free but the food became MORE processed because they needed to serve this at the same price point. You can eat your meats and cheeses and dairy and bread, just stop eating the processed shit. It’s so, so bad for you and I feel that we as humans do not yet understand why it’s so bad as it was not studied closely enough, but the evidence is in the trends.
Look at the country of Nauru, the majority of their food is processed because they can’t grow their own food on their island, and they have a 71% obesity rate (95% overweight!), the worst on the planet. Look up the Vietnamese diet. Less than 3% of the country is obese, and they don’t eat processed foods but meals heavy with fish, veggies, broths and rice. And their food is stupid cheap anyway.
Processed foods are more expensive and less healthy, it blows me away why anyone would reach for it except out of pure laziness.
A vast majority of their men are literal soy Bois.
My wife is Vietnamese, so Ive met a lot of vietnamese people and even been to Vietnam.
These people are skinny because they eat only what they can afford. The ones who are slightly wealthier tend to be a bit bigger. But the vast majority of men in that country show very little signs of masculinity because of the amount of soy they consume. Every Vietnamese man I've met have been very effeminate. Nice guys, sure, but not a fighting bone in their body.
The ones who grew up here in the U.S. and stay away from tofu and other soy products end up being a tougher lot. One of my good friends from work is Vietnamese and was born and raised here In the United States. Dude hates anything that isn't meat, and he is a night and day difference to the men I met in Vietnam.
heh. That explains the serious gangsta activities and obsession with racing cars and bikes and machismo attitudes in the guys from American lifestyle Viet families in N CA. No soy makes an American boy out of them in a single generation.
As with any diet, there are things you need to watch out for. I eat Vietnamese daily but consume no soy, it’s not that I avoid it it’s just that I don’t see any place for it besides maybe a tbsp of soy sauce in a random recipe. A diet heavy in fats and proteins with a solid amount of carbs I feel is crucial to childhood and teenage development. It’s basically after that stage that people should adopt more of the Asian style diet, in my opinion, and I only recommend this to people who struggle with their weight. If your current diet works well for you, by all means continue it.
They ran test meals for half a year prior to full adoption where I worked at the time, got thumbs up or down to winnow out losers and judge acceptance.
The kids LOVED about 75% of the choices.
Then the new school year began...
And those "same" meals were not at all the local fresh newly made dishes served during the test!
They were being tossed without even opening them by the second week, really poor kids who don't eat otherwise were begging fruit from the cafeteria instead, and the littles who had them opened for them were literally gagging on first bites.
I could not understand how they could be so rejected when the kids had voted for them so strongly- so I snagged a favorite of mac n cheese before it was chucked unopened and sat down after my shift to try it... Mother of god but I leapt up to spit it into the trashcan it was so disgusting 😳🤢
Sticky paste with a bitter taste. My tastebuds instinctively reacted as if poison and rejected it instantly. And I'm mom who has eaten the most worthless meals and leftovers so as to not waste food.
By the second month almost every child able was bringing lunch from home, the cafeteria added a "snacktime breakfast" no charge for anyone and boosted the fruits and saladbar massively daily because our lunchlady had brains and contacts- and those kids with no options ate breakfast then salad with lots of extras at lunch.
Virtually every hot meal auto ordered for poor kids went untaken by month 3. But the District refused to recognize the abject failure by backing out of the program and wasted food money and staff time and garbage space virtue signalling.
I think this is the only plus of the school lunch program. I was a senior in high school back in 2010 and it was my last year where they first adopted the new “healthy” school lunches. Lunches used to not be bad so I ate them from time to time along with most other students. Once this new program came in, I started bringing my own lunch and I noticed a large percentage of students did as well.
It’s great that this new shit lunch made more kids start packing a home made meal, but it really sucked for the poor kids on free lunch who had to eat this trash.
This is it. Is there anything special to this ice cream, or is it just the same gimmick as “slow churned” ice cream used to be? Slow churned ice cream was like half the calories of regular ice cream, but it was half as dense so it really was no better for you. It would be like cutting a 1in thick steak into two 1/2 in steaks. Like sure, it’s still a steak, but it’s “healthier” you’re just eating half as much.
Halo Top just has fake sugar and more protein. I've had it. Tastes alright but subtly "wrong". Great if you want to indulge without blowing your calorie budget for the day.
And Monsanto, the makers of Round-Up, was bought out by the Bayer company, makers of aspirin and a whole bunch of other Health Products. That's just sick.
Then there are the solo entrepreneurs like francois-henri pinault, Salma Hayek's husband who owns over 50 companies with his kering group. Here are some of his luxury friend below, you can have the regular Brands like Hennessy cognac, Laphroaig single malt scotch and so on ... it's amazing how so few own so many. Love your chart though oh, that's a keeper.
Monsanto fucks over farmers worldwide. Real solutions for world hunger don’t include non-heritage seeds. If you can’t sustain a crop from the leftover of a previous crop, it does nothing in the long run. What happens when Monsanto shuts down and half the world can’t get seeds to plant for the next seasons crop or they refuse to sell to a country (like India where Monsanto controls 95% of the countries cotton seed) because the ones they have relied on for years by contract can only be used for a single crop.
Monsanto is a piece of shit that kills farmers, landscapers and don't give me this bullshit about solving world hunger. They starve Africans by selling them seedless fruits and vegetables so they can't replant without buying more Monsanto seeds. They're starvation directly impacts us because we end up flipping the bill and taking the refugees in. Seriously, fuck right off with this globalist scumbag company that that puts their bullshit glysophate in my food and my family's food.
Maybe, but I just see way too many small companies selling out for the quick short-sighted cash grab, and it makes my blood boil.
We'd have a lot more political diversity in the corporate world if it wasn't for such companies giving up the ride to sit on a beach somewhere. Honestly, it's pathetic.
I’m not a green new deal woman, but our food supply is completely fucked, and it makes us fat, slow and stupid. Pesticides, and other chemicals make their way into everything, because they have permeated all basic food components on land and in sea.
Huh. I’m not fat, slow, or stupid, not is anyone in my family. (Okay, I have one liberal family member who is politically stupid.) All those pesticides and chemicals aren’t doing that to me. Are you sure there isn’t another cause? Excess? Choice of flavor vs balance? Limited variety? Not learning to cook your own food? Limited physical exercise? You know... the things every human has control over and can fix instead of blaming the “people over there who need to change so my life can be better.”
Well said! And I love the insider perspective on AG industry. It’s too easy to get myopic and fail to recognize that this is all part of a system and the law of unintended consequences is unforgiving.
Also look back to video and photos of people from the 60’s-80’s. Not so many fatties back then. Something changed. But we got LOTS of fatties nowadays. Me included. Lol.
What changed was the low-fat fad. "Nutritionists" sold the world on the idea that fat was killing us and the food pyramid said we should all eat more grain. Manufacturers reduced fats and replaced them with sugar to so they wouldn't taste like crap, meat producers were encouraged to breed leaner livestock. We've had several generations now raised on cheap carbohydrates.
2019: “Organic Consummers Association sued Ben & Jerry’s for the deceptive labeling, marketing and sale of its ice cream products as humanely sourced and environmentally responsible, despite the fact that ingredients are sourced from typical factory dairy farms and some of the products contain traces of glyphosate, an environmentally harmful biocide and the key active ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup® weedkiller”. https://sustainablepulse.com/2019/01/11/glyphosate-pressure-grows-on-ben-jerrys-after-motion-to-dismiss-lawsuit-fails/#.XzQi8LopChA.
Just because it’s used in item X does not mean it’s inherently poisonous in item Y. In this case they have evidence that glyphosate is poisonous. Odds are it’s a cheap ass binder, thickener or diluter as most of the extra nasty stuff seems to be.
I understand but they seem to be saturating us with this shit. The value seems to be "filler" but there seems to be health impact. They should do away with it. Is it the key ingredient to killing weeds? Without it we have nothing? I used Roundup and couldn't kill ivy. I went to 4lb salt with commercial grade vinegar and water. Killed them.
Salt is very bad for the environment. How we dump it on roads all winter without any environmental groups throwing a fit is beyond me. It runs into our rivers, lakes and streams just like everything else. It contaminates the ground because it doesn't reaily move out of soil once it gets there. Glysophate isn't that bad when used correctly, it is supposed to break down before it gets in the soil. The problem, who reads the labels and uses it correctly? No one.
The problem I have with Glysophate is the amount being used by landscapers. My neighborhood is sprayed with a variety of chemical to kill clover, weeds and to help feed the turf. They've been doing it for 7 years and nobody is regulating use by these guys paid to make your yard look good. Overtime we will have massive problems. I use Celtic gray salt that is made up of more water than other types. It's very healthy and not harmful. The commercial vinegar does more soil damage than the salt.
Wait till you find out how much is used on grain crops. They hose down the field before it's harvested to desiccate it. Dry grain is worth more at the terminal. Most grains aren't "washed" before they're processed and milled so it all ends up in the food.
Weed is a very broad term, it’s any plant we don’t like as humans, sometimes weed killers use what they use just so they can target only weed plants versus plants we like.
Your salt trick worked because “salted earth” was the predecessor to the term “scorched earth” in warfare - salted earth won’t grow anything for a long time.
I have a garden growing where I sprayed. I did plow the dirt and mix in some additives. We have some ivy that's like a parasite. You go on vacation and come home to your shed, trees and house wrapped in ivy
That's really interesting, I learned something new today. I didn't know herbicides were added to fuels like that but I guess it makes sense.
I'm in agreement with all of you that ethanol free gas is the way to go. You can get it here but its at least a dollar more per gallon than the regular gasoline.
This is actually incorrect: Ethanol is added solely to fuck up gastanks, while giving corn industry lobbyists and politicians who pushed the bullshit mandate massive kickbacks. There is no engineering basis behind it. Ethanol attracts water and fucks up perfectly good gastanks. You can no longer have a tank of gas sitting in a vehicle for 50 years and start it right up. The government doesn’t want people being sustainable like that.
Real farmers and off gridders all use ethanol free gas. It’s the only way to go.
I did not know who acquired who. I always pictured Monsanto as the Giant. The acquisition makes sense though. Create the pesticides and chemicals that lead to chronic illnesses where medication treatment is needed. Kinda like what they did with opioid.
I’m a lesbian pede and I have more trump supporting or at least normal gay friends than woke gay friends (to be fair, a good amount of the latter stopped talking to me because orange man bad).
Also what about Scott Presler, or the transsexual who recently painted over BLM? There’s plenty of us, recently r/rightwinglgbt got banned so we’re censored like any other conservative.
Also, we’ve had Milo Yiannapoulous, although he isn’t in the public eye much anymore. Peter Thiel, the billionaire who created PayPal, is a gay conservative who supported Trump since 2016 and spoke at the RNC convention. We have Blaire White who is a transgender fighting against pedophiles and crazy LGBTQ people, and Brandon Straka who is the creator of the #WalkAway movement. There’s plenty of us :)
Liberals are usually the dumbest consumers there are. They never bother to actually know anything about what they buy, and completely gobble up advertising bullshit without a second thought. I know of a local restaurant/deli that has a very “organic” “hippie” sounding name. Almost everything they sell is just regular old conventional hyper processed crap, but with nice earthy looking advertising and a new improved higher price. All the local liberal cat ladies love it, and the Portland types that roll through stop there.
Good comment. A recent article broke down the bullshit on labels for example “free range” is a joke, there are no requirements with FDA for the amount, duration, and quality of outdoor access for chickens. Other gimmick words like: “multi-grain” instead of actual 100% whole grain or whole wheat, “no sugar added” means product is still full of sugar, and the word “natural” is slapped on everything and means nothing.
If you want true fresh organic healthy food at a restaurant find yourself the most Japanese/Vietnamese spot in town and go eat there. The more non-English on the menu the better.
Ever wonder why japan and similar countries have people with the longest life spans and lowest obesity rates on the planet by far? It’s all their diet. All very fresh, high quality, rich in rice/noodles and fish and flavored naturally without calorie or salt heavy sauces and spices. They don’t eat processed food, they don’t eat food that’s calorie dense, and it still manages to be super delicious and filling. My local favorite is a pho spot, I leave feeling so full that I feel like I am going to burst yet my meal comes out to under 600 calories. That’s about as much as one Big Mac and I could probably eat three of those.
Plus these people tend to be based as fuck, they aren’t these “weeb” anime loving bullshit that the left seems to portray them as. They do food right, and we can learn from them.
Oh and if you walk in to one of these restaurants during lunch or dinner rush, check who the clientele are. If it’s Asians, it’s a good spot, if it’s a bunch of lefties, leave because it probably lost its touch and is just catering to being a healthy spot while not really being all that healthy.
This explains all of the [Brand] pandering and wokeness. Because it really does work on the gullible left. At least it signals to us where we shouldn't be spending money, but finding alternatives can still be difficult.
There's a hippie type all natural organic themed grocery store a couple blocks away. I went there once out of curiosity to see what it was like. Probably 80-90% of everything in the store is the EXACT same shit you can get in the "organic " section at the regular grocery store, but 4-5 times as expensive.
The parking lot is pretty full most days too, it's like people see the word Natural and just take that at face value while doing zero research on what they're actually buying.
Generic ice cream and just dropped some real fruits on it, melted chocolate or even maple syrup and you got yourself a high-quality treat, without the Round-Up
What sucks about using chemicals in agriculture is that they show up in everything everywhere. Hmm, cover much of the Earth's surface with chemicals and look what happens.
The consolation is that it's always been there and hasn't killed that many people yet.
I'm not gonna lie, I was all ready to be like "okay, come on, this is like that fish tank chemical bullshit, where someone hears 'you need more sodium in your diet' and starts eating raw sodium metal and dying."
I DDGed it.
No, glyphosate is a wholly synthetic chemical with the express and only known purpose of herbicide. There are no incidental occurrences of it. It doesn't have any other pharmacology. It doesn't occur when it is not manually produced by humans.
This is true, but the data about it being a carcinogen is far from convincing. It’s certainly not “good” and I’d rather not have it in my ice cream thanks, but it’s also not conclusively shown time cause cancer as this article suggests. Even the European version of the FDA (who generally are MUCH better than our POS FDA) didn’t find it to be carcinogenic. So that part is a bit misleading. But it DEF shouldn’t be in B&J’s hippie cream.
Yeah, fair point. I'm by no means some body purist, I just took the same view you did, i.e.
It’s certainly not “good” and I’d rather not have it in my ice cream thanks
There's no reason for a chemical with zero human benefit (or even shit like shelf stability) to be present in a product. By all accounts, this stuff has no practical purpose in food.
Wisconsin puts yellow die in their cheddar cheese. Being from NY, that seems strange to me and I cannot force myself to buy it. Vermont and NY cheddar is white.
This is false. "Wisconsin" doesn't do anything. And the good stuff doesn't get exported. You might only get distribution from those that do this trying to match market expectations, Idk. Seems silly to ship cheese to upstate NY or Vermont, they make it there.
“Is Wisconsin yellow cheddar territory?
The state of Wisconsin is definitely yellow cheddar territory. In fact, all throughout the Midwest, cheddar is thought of almost exclusively as a yellowish orange cheese.” per Yahoo.
WOW you’d think if you are spending $7 for such a small portion of ice cream you would at least be getting something as close to natural ice cream as possible.
Pesticide in an ice cream? Why the fuck is there pesticide in there? I would understand if this was a salad, or some type of fresh fruit based dish, but pesticide?
Too bad I don’t eat ice cream or I would boycott them.
Unilever, who owns Ben and Jerry's ice cream, is an international chemical supply chain company. They use their ice cream product to LARP as a bunch of peacenik hippies while covertly laundering political operations through them in the United States. Their goal is to recapture regulations and trade policy in their favor, they are actual FASCISTS, and they could give two shits less about the actual peace loving hippies -- as evident here by the chemicals discovered in their carcinogenic product line.
This is the same company threatening Facebook if they do not kneel before them and shut off the Trump campaign.
This is a company that believes in corporate governance and has no concern for our rust belt or middle-America, whatsoever, they literally hate you for being different than them.
Ben and Jerry's was acquired by Unilever 20 years ago. Commie cucks gobble up this crap made by one of the biggest consumer goods corporations in the world and think that that it makes them revolutionaries who are sticking it to the man.
Ben & Jerry's is the final carryover from my marriage to a radical leftist that have yet to completely wean off. Literally harder than marijuana, which I managed to quit this year.
I'm making progress, but I wish there was a conservative creamery I could switch to - a Black Rifle Coffee type company, but for dairy.
Good thing I haven’t eaten Ben&Jerry’s since they gave Colbert his own flavor. And I buy pints of ice cream every weekend. These morons care more about their agenda than they do about making money.
I thought that didn’t even belong in Roundup, because I see commercials late at night saying how if you were affected by it you may be entitled to financial compensation
cancer is too slow for commies
Commies die from ice cream

Funny you said that- years ago they retired their Grape flavored ice cream.
Grape is codeword for cancer ice cream
What about their Floyd George Flavor?
CHOCOLATE JUNKIE!
Now with triple fentanyl.
Grapes are deadly poison to dogs. One of the boys (don't remember if it was Ben or Jerry) brought some grape ice cream to his girlfriend and she left it on the counter. Her dog ate some and died. B&J then stopped making grape ice cream.

Yeah .458 socom is crazy. I saw the guy from demolition ranch shooting it. Apparently you can get a kit to convert any ar-15 to .458 socom. It's apparently less likely to over penetrate in home defence situations and puts alot not energy on target. It's devistaing like a shotgun slug but alot faster.
It's not a kit. A simple upper and bolt carrier group change. 30 SECONDS. Uses the same standard mags. It... it a little slice of heaven. .458 socom at 500 grains.... thats 11 rounds in a standard mag... 5500 GRAINS of "Go protest in some other neighborhood.." MUAHAHAHA.... it is an amazing round.
Can cancer get cancer?
Spicy
The original Ben and Jerry cashed out decades ago. The ice cream is made by international megafood distributor Unilever.
It's shit ice cream too, it's more candy than ice cream. But 400 lb pink haired liberal women LOVE IT.
Cherry Garcia, the exception that proves the rule.
I once got stopped by the cops for buying Cherry Garcia. He thought I was driving suspiciously ever though I was just in a driveway dithering which way to turn for my CG. It was night, small town, and the cop thought I was talking about Jerry Garcia when I tried to explain.
The cop's name? You guessed it, Frank Stallone
But have you tried their latest flavors, Commie Crunch and Che Guevara Guava?
Riots and Raisins
Asphalt snatch. Lol with chunks moldy locks
I'm waiting for the Floyd tribute flavor, "Butt Hoop".
Dont forget "Kneeopolitan to the Neck."
I'm pretty sure the second one is a real flavor.
I remember when they were with Häagen-Dazs as the few premium ice cream options. Now there are so many other higher end brands that B&J's is lost among competitors. If another brand in my town could have something like Heath Bar Crunch, I'd start eating ice cream again.
Blue Bell is based, delicious, and not even that expensive. You can only get it in the south though.
I second blue bell. Based Texas Aggies too
And the west. Out in Colorado we have it too
Holy cow, how expensive are Costco 5 gallon ice cream buckets?
I prefer Turkey Hill All Naturals which can be found at Kroger's in Texas. Doesn't include anything but sugar and cream for the base. Chocolate and vanilla bean are good.
With that being said, been trying to stay away from sweets for the most part.
Yes, we have Blue Bell and to know they're based I'll get some next time I'm in the market.
Blue bell is garbage
Ok
First time downvoting a nonshill comment.
It's $5 a qt, I don't know if that's premium, but Tillamook is some pretty good ice cream. Way better than something like Dreyers or Breyers.
I'd consider Tillamook premium. I haven't bought any in a while, but I remember them not having weird ingredients. I think they also source their dairy from smaller farms where the cows are usually grass fed.
Interesting! I love Tillamook sharp cheddar and always buy it to have onhand. Vac bag and shelf life that seem to last forever. But I love Tillamook cheeses for sure. I will certainly take a look at their ice cream because there's no doubt in my mind that it will deliver beyond my expectations. $5 a quart is quite a fair deal. B&J, etc cost that much for a pint!
Thank you for the recommendation. I hope I can find it here in the deep south.
Yeah man. Tillamook make some good Dairy products for sure. It's jut a bit expensive.
I buy them at Grocery Outlet periodically when they come in- $1.99-2.49
Steves.
I would say Three Twins but they shut down forever with covid 😕
I wish we had Wegmans here. More options is my jam.
I thought 400lb pink hair women were into that new ice cream that I think is like 250 calories or something for the entire container?
IDK what that brand is, but it’s probably like that Walmart “ice cream” a while back. The one where a mom accidentally left out a small cup or dish of it outside in the hot summer sun for a few hours that her son was eating, only to find it hadn’t melted.
That is so disgusting, processed food is the absolute worst thing to happen to humanity and America is getting fucked by this garbage.
It’s why I thought Michelle Obama’s school lunch program was the absolute most retarded thing to ever happen to our school lunch system, instead of focusing on serving less processed food they focused on ingredients like whole grain and fat free but the food became MORE processed because they needed to serve this at the same price point. You can eat your meats and cheeses and dairy and bread, just stop eating the processed shit. It’s so, so bad for you and I feel that we as humans do not yet understand why it’s so bad as it was not studied closely enough, but the evidence is in the trends.
Look at the country of Nauru, the majority of their food is processed because they can’t grow their own food on their island, and they have a 71% obesity rate (95% overweight!), the worst on the planet. Look up the Vietnamese diet. Less than 3% of the country is obese, and they don’t eat processed foods but meals heavy with fish, veggies, broths and rice. And their food is stupid cheap anyway.
Processed foods are more expensive and less healthy, it blows me away why anyone would reach for it except out of pure laziness.
Vietnamese also eat tons of soy.
A vast majority of their men are literal soy Bois.
My wife is Vietnamese, so Ive met a lot of vietnamese people and even been to Vietnam.
These people are skinny because they eat only what they can afford. The ones who are slightly wealthier tend to be a bit bigger. But the vast majority of men in that country show very little signs of masculinity because of the amount of soy they consume. Every Vietnamese man I've met have been very effeminate. Nice guys, sure, but not a fighting bone in their body.
The ones who grew up here in the U.S. and stay away from tofu and other soy products end up being a tougher lot. One of my good friends from work is Vietnamese and was born and raised here In the United States. Dude hates anything that isn't meat, and he is a night and day difference to the men I met in Vietnam.
heh. That explains the serious gangsta activities and obsession with racing cars and bikes and machismo attitudes in the guys from American lifestyle Viet families in N CA. No soy makes an American boy out of them in a single generation.
As with any diet, there are things you need to watch out for. I eat Vietnamese daily but consume no soy, it’s not that I avoid it it’s just that I don’t see any place for it besides maybe a tbsp of soy sauce in a random recipe. A diet heavy in fats and proteins with a solid amount of carbs I feel is crucial to childhood and teenage development. It’s basically after that stage that people should adopt more of the Asian style diet, in my opinion, and I only recommend this to people who struggle with their weight. If your current diet works well for you, by all means continue it.
Laziness is under-rated. “I have no food to eat...only Ingredients”
They ran test meals for half a year prior to full adoption where I worked at the time, got thumbs up or down to winnow out losers and judge acceptance.
The kids LOVED about 75% of the choices.
Then the new school year began...
And those "same" meals were not at all the local fresh newly made dishes served during the test!
They were being tossed without even opening them by the second week, really poor kids who don't eat otherwise were begging fruit from the cafeteria instead, and the littles who had them opened for them were literally gagging on first bites.
I could not understand how they could be so rejected when the kids had voted for them so strongly- so I snagged a favorite of mac n cheese before it was chucked unopened and sat down after my shift to try it... Mother of god but I leapt up to spit it into the trashcan it was so disgusting 😳🤢
Sticky paste with a bitter taste. My tastebuds instinctively reacted as if poison and rejected it instantly. And I'm mom who has eaten the most worthless meals and leftovers so as to not waste food.
By the second month almost every child able was bringing lunch from home, the cafeteria added a "snacktime breakfast" no charge for anyone and boosted the fruits and saladbar massively daily because our lunchlady had brains and contacts- and those kids with no options ate breakfast then salad with lots of extras at lunch.
Virtually every hot meal auto ordered for poor kids went untaken by month 3. But the District refused to recognize the abject failure by backing out of the program and wasted food money and staff time and garbage space virtue signalling.
I think this is the only plus of the school lunch program. I was a senior in high school back in 2010 and it was my last year where they first adopted the new “healthy” school lunches. Lunches used to not be bad so I ate them from time to time along with most other students. Once this new program came in, I started bringing my own lunch and I noticed a large percentage of students did as well.
It’s great that this new shit lunch made more kids start packing a home made meal, but it really sucked for the poor kids on free lunch who had to eat this trash.
Yep, same happened here. The mac n cheese was traditionally one of the more popular dishes, but now, as my teenager says, it "tastes like sadness".
I DESPISE fake or lowfat ice cream- but the Skinny Cow bars are amazingly tasty with the right texture still.
Wouldn't know, I avoid deathfats with pink hair.
Halo Top
This is it. Is there anything special to this ice cream, or is it just the same gimmick as “slow churned” ice cream used to be? Slow churned ice cream was like half the calories of regular ice cream, but it was half as dense so it really was no better for you. It would be like cutting a 1in thick steak into two 1/2 in steaks. Like sure, it’s still a steak, but it’s “healthier” you’re just eating half as much.
Halo Top just has fake sugar and more protein. I've had it. Tastes alright but subtly "wrong". Great if you want to indulge without blowing your calorie budget for the day.
UK and DUTCH shareholders of Unilever own Ben & Jerry’s, sold for 204 million pounds in 2000.
And Monsanto, the makers of Round-Up, was bought out by the Bayer company, makers of aspirin and a whole bunch of other Health Products. That's just sick.
These Megacorps (GE, J&J, Coke, P&G, Unilever, Kellogs, General Mills, Kraft, Pepsi, Nestle) own everything.
Nestle make dogfood (Purina), Lasagana (Stovetop) and Makeup (loreal).

Then there are the solo entrepreneurs like francois-henri pinault, Salma Hayek's husband who owns over 50 companies with his kering group. Here are some of his luxury friend below, you can have the regular Brands like Hennessy cognac, Laphroaig single malt scotch and so on ... it's amazing how so few own so many. Love your chart though oh, that's a keeper.

didnt know thedonald fans believed the ecocommies lies about companies like monsanto
they had the same revenue as wholefoods. but muh monsanto controls the world and gives us all cancer lmao
monsanto is US ingenuity and provides real solutions for world hunger
meanwhile commies are seething
Monsanto fucks over farmers worldwide. Real solutions for world hunger don’t include non-heritage seeds. If you can’t sustain a crop from the leftover of a previous crop, it does nothing in the long run. What happens when Monsanto shuts down and half the world can’t get seeds to plant for the next seasons crop or they refuse to sell to a country (like India where Monsanto controls 95% of the countries cotton seed) because the ones they have relied on for years by contract can only be used for a single crop.
Monsanto is a piece of shit that kills farmers, landscapers and don't give me this bullshit about solving world hunger. They starve Africans by selling them seedless fruits and vegetables so they can't replant without buying more Monsanto seeds. They're starvation directly impacts us because we end up flipping the bill and taking the refugees in. Seriously, fuck right off with this globalist scumbag company that that puts their bullshit glysophate in my food and my family's food.
Traitors.
Capitalists.
Maybe, but I just see way too many small companies selling out for the quick short-sighted cash grab, and it makes my blood boil.
We'd have a lot more political diversity in the corporate world if it wasn't for such companies giving up the ride to sit on a beach somewhere. Honestly, it's pathetic.
It's up to them. Running a competitive business is hard.
It's just ice cream. There's no difficult engineering. Keep selling out and that's how you get monopolies.
They sure capitalized on hippy losers by making a brand that panders to every leftist cause.
Speaking of Unilever, they also own Wall's brand ice cream. Check out their pedo logo.

That stuff is in everything.
I’m not a green new deal woman, but our food supply is completely fucked, and it makes us fat, slow and stupid. Pesticides, and other chemicals make their way into everything, because they have permeated all basic food components on land and in sea.
It’s not good, and it should be dealt with.
Huh. I’m not fat, slow, or stupid, not is anyone in my family. (Okay, I have one liberal family member who is politically stupid.) All those pesticides and chemicals aren’t doing that to me. Are you sure there isn’t another cause? Excess? Choice of flavor vs balance? Limited variety? Not learning to cook your own food? Limited physical exercise? You know... the things every human has control over and can fix instead of blaming the “people over there who need to change so my life can be better.”
Yea blaming round up for making you fat is the most moronic thing I've ever heard of.
It's not the pesticides, it's the sugar and corn syrup
Calories in vs. Calories out. It’s physics.
Sugar is the real killer.
Pesticides won’t make you fat, but that shit sure as hell isnt good for you in the long term
Definitely corn syrup and the fact that all our livestock eat loads of corn.
Well said! And I love the insider perspective on AG industry. It’s too easy to get myopic and fail to recognize that this is all part of a system and the law of unintended consequences is unforgiving.
Also look back to video and photos of people from the 60’s-80’s. Not so many fatties back then. Something changed. But we got LOTS of fatties nowadays. Me included. Lol.
What changed was the low-fat fad. "Nutritionists" sold the world on the idea that fat was killing us and the food pyramid said we should all eat more grain. Manufacturers reduced fats and replaced them with sugar to so they wouldn't taste like crap, meat producers were encouraged to breed leaner livestock. We've had several generations now raised on cheap carbohydrates.
Ok sure, but the reason most people are fat is because sugar is in fucking everything. And by sugar I mean hfcs
It's got electrolytes!
Much of the world won't touch our food supply
muh chemicals is literally treehugger level stupid

2019: “Organic Consummers Association sued Ben & Jerry’s for the deceptive labeling, marketing and sale of its ice cream products as humanely sourced and environmentally responsible, despite the fact that ingredients are sourced from typical factory dairy farms and some of the products contain traces of glyphosate, an environmentally harmful biocide and the key active ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup® weedkiller”. https://sustainablepulse.com/2019/01/11/glyphosate-pressure-grows-on-ben-jerrys-after-motion-to-dismiss-lawsuit-fails/#.XzQi8LopChA.

I learned the other day our gasoline is full of glyphosate. What's the fucking deal with glyphosate being put in everything?
Just because it’s used in item X does not mean it’s inherently poisonous in item Y. In this case they have evidence that glyphosate is poisonous. Odds are it’s a cheap ass binder, thickener or diluter as most of the extra nasty stuff seems to be.
But I drink a lot of gas :(
Might want to see a doctor about that fart drinking ha it of yours friend. :P
I understand but they seem to be saturating us with this shit. The value seems to be "filler" but there seems to be health impact. They should do away with it. Is it the key ingredient to killing weeds? Without it we have nothing? I used Roundup and couldn't kill ivy. I went to 4lb salt with commercial grade vinegar and water. Killed them.
Salt is very bad for the environment. How we dump it on roads all winter without any environmental groups throwing a fit is beyond me. It runs into our rivers, lakes and streams just like everything else. It contaminates the ground because it doesn't reaily move out of soil once it gets there. Glysophate isn't that bad when used correctly, it is supposed to break down before it gets in the soil. The problem, who reads the labels and uses it correctly? No one.
The problem I have with Glysophate is the amount being used by landscapers. My neighborhood is sprayed with a variety of chemical to kill clover, weeds and to help feed the turf. They've been doing it for 7 years and nobody is regulating use by these guys paid to make your yard look good. Overtime we will have massive problems. I use Celtic gray salt that is made up of more water than other types. It's very healthy and not harmful. The commercial vinegar does more soil damage than the salt.
Wait till you find out how much is used on grain crops. They hose down the field before it's harvested to desiccate it. Dry grain is worth more at the terminal. Most grains aren't "washed" before they're processed and milled so it all ends up in the food.
Weed is a very broad term, it’s any plant we don’t like as humans, sometimes weed killers use what they use just so they can target only weed plants versus plants we like.
Your salt trick worked because “salted earth” was the predecessor to the term “scorched earth” in warfare - salted earth won’t grow anything for a long time.
I have a garden growing where I sprayed. I did plow the dirt and mix in some additives. We have some ivy that's like a parasite. You go on vacation and come home to your shed, trees and house wrapped in ivy
Tell me more. I bought a whole bunch of diff weed killers last Spring and spent hundreds$. What is your recipe?
Natural always sounds better, but don't use salt anywhere you want anything to grow ever again. There's a reason for the phrase "salt the earth."
We have the smartest pedes -- believe me.
That's really interesting, I learned something new today. I didn't know herbicides were added to fuels like that but I guess it makes sense.
I'm in agreement with all of you that ethanol free gas is the way to go. You can get it here but its at least a dollar more per gallon than the regular gasoline.
This is actually incorrect: Ethanol is added solely to fuck up gastanks, while giving corn industry lobbyists and politicians who pushed the bullshit mandate massive kickbacks. There is no engineering basis behind it. Ethanol attracts water and fucks up perfectly good gastanks. You can no longer have a tank of gas sitting in a vehicle for 50 years and start it right up. The government doesn’t want people being sustainable like that.
Real farmers and off gridders all use ethanol free gas. It’s the only way to go.
I fill up with ethanol free gasoline myself. One of the benefits of living in Texas close by a Buc-ee's.
I read it was purposely added in the processing. It could be fake news but there was some value in adding the filler cost wise.
I thought Bayer purchased them?
I did not know who acquired who. I always pictured Monsanto as the Giant. The acquisition makes sense though. Create the pesticides and chemicals that lead to chronic illnesses where medication treatment is needed. Kinda like what they did with opioid.
Very true but Bayer is no angel.
Glyphosate is found in many foods.
They douse wheat with it to “shock” the wheat and lead to a faster/bigger harvest because the wheat is dying and tries to reproduce faster.
Cheerios and many breakfast cereals have an obscene amount of glyphosate.
Ben and Jerry’s will turn you gay!
Gay pede here, can confirm. Had Ben and Jerry's once and now...
I’m a lesbian pede and I have more trump supporting or at least normal gay friends than woke gay friends (to be fair, a good amount of the latter stopped talking to me because orange man bad).
Also what about Scott Presler, or the transsexual who recently painted over BLM? There’s plenty of us, recently r/rightwinglgbt got banned so we’re censored like any other conservative.
Also, we’ve had Milo Yiannapoulous, although he isn’t in the public eye much anymore. Peter Thiel, the billionaire who created PayPal, is a gay conservative who supported Trump since 2016 and spoke at the RNC convention. We have Blaire White who is a transgender fighting against pedophiles and crazy LGBTQ people, and Brandon Straka who is the creator of the #WalkAway movement. There’s plenty of us :)
"Ben and Jerry's reported to have frog infestation in packaging facilities."
Kek
Chicken or the egg, if we're honest.
I refuse to buy that ice cream. Not a penny from me to fucking commies.
Liberals are usually the dumbest consumers there are. They never bother to actually know anything about what they buy, and completely gobble up advertising bullshit without a second thought. I know of a local restaurant/deli that has a very “organic” “hippie” sounding name. Almost everything they sell is just regular old conventional hyper processed crap, but with nice earthy looking advertising and a new improved higher price. All the local liberal cat ladies love it, and the Portland types that roll through stop there.
Good comment. A recent article broke down the bullshit on labels for example “free range” is a joke, there are no requirements with FDA for the amount, duration, and quality of outdoor access for chickens. Other gimmick words like: “multi-grain” instead of actual 100% whole grain or whole wheat, “no sugar added” means product is still full of sugar, and the word “natural” is slapped on everything and means nothing.
If you want true fresh organic healthy food at a restaurant find yourself the most Japanese/Vietnamese spot in town and go eat there. The more non-English on the menu the better.
Ever wonder why japan and similar countries have people with the longest life spans and lowest obesity rates on the planet by far? It’s all their diet. All very fresh, high quality, rich in rice/noodles and fish and flavored naturally without calorie or salt heavy sauces and spices. They don’t eat processed food, they don’t eat food that’s calorie dense, and it still manages to be super delicious and filling. My local favorite is a pho spot, I leave feeling so full that I feel like I am going to burst yet my meal comes out to under 600 calories. That’s about as much as one Big Mac and I could probably eat three of those.
Plus these people tend to be based as fuck, they aren’t these “weeb” anime loving bullshit that the left seems to portray them as. They do food right, and we can learn from them.
Oh and if you walk in to one of these restaurants during lunch or dinner rush, check who the clientele are. If it’s Asians, it’s a good spot, if it’s a bunch of lefties, leave because it probably lost its touch and is just catering to being a healthy spot while not really being all that healthy.
Unless you live in an area with low populations of those ethnicities. Then they are just as much at the mercy of the supply line as you.
Small mom and pop yaki shop isn't going to be making everything from scratch/japanese ingredients.
Japs have the biggest incidence of Gastric cancer. Just saying.
Think that's genetic.
I like Armenian food. Really healthy.
This explains all of the [Brand] pandering and wokeness. Because it really does work on the gullible left. At least it signals to us where we shouldn't be spending money, but finding alternatives can still be difficult.
Also, prime opportunity to plug https://consumeproduct.win/
There's a hippie type all natural organic themed grocery store a couple blocks away. I went there once out of curiosity to see what it was like. Probably 80-90% of everything in the store is the EXACT same shit you can get in the "organic " section at the regular grocery store, but 4-5 times as expensive.
The parking lot is pretty full most days too, it's like people see the word Natural and just take that at face value while doing zero research on what they're actually buying.
Vermont's finest carcinogen.
SOY CREAM
I wouldn’t even feed communist prisoners with that shit ice cream
We're not supposed to feed Marxists anything but lead.
I don’t wanna feed them lead by shooting it at them, I want them to suffer so I guess feeding them lead on a plate would be okay I guess.
You don't always get what cha want

Stupid me for buying generic brand ice cream at $1.99 per half gallon at Kroger.
Blue Bell or Turkey Hill
Blue Bell .. just make sure your gallon hasn't been licked first by a joggerette.
we have Blue Bell in my area. I notice some with gold lids that have flavors that are more unique.
Generic ice cream and just dropped some real fruits on it, melted chocolate or even maple syrup and you got yourself a high-quality treat, without the Round-Up
That's it! Plus, you know exactly what's in your dessert that way!
What sucks about using chemicals in agriculture is that they show up in everything everywhere. Hmm, cover much of the Earth's surface with chemicals and look what happens.
The consolation is that it's always been there and hasn't killed that many people yet.
Don't worry, lead piping has been around since ancient civilization and OOOOOH

I'm not gonna lie, I was all ready to be like "okay, come on, this is like that fish tank chemical bullshit, where someone hears 'you need more sodium in your diet' and starts eating raw sodium metal and dying."
I DDGed it.
No, glyphosate is a wholly synthetic chemical with the express and only known purpose of herbicide. There are no incidental occurrences of it. It doesn't have any other pharmacology. It doesn't occur when it is not manually produced by humans.
Jesus Christ.
This is true, but the data about it being a carcinogen is far from convincing. It’s certainly not “good” and I’d rather not have it in my ice cream thanks, but it’s also not conclusively shown time cause cancer as this article suggests. Even the European version of the FDA (who generally are MUCH better than our POS FDA) didn’t find it to be carcinogenic. So that part is a bit misleading. But it DEF shouldn’t be in B&J’s hippie cream.
Yeah, fair point. I'm by no means some body purist, I just took the same view you did, i.e.
There's no reason for a chemical with zero human benefit (or even shit like shelf stability) to be present in a product. By all accounts, this stuff has no practical purpose in food.
But it's okay because Ben & Jerry are nice people who would never hurt their customers.
Big Roundup on the other hand wants to kill our water supply with chemicals just for a quick buck!
I've heard that Roundup has polluted about 80% of all fresh water in the USA, but who knows.

Bought it once. It was like eating a bowl of sugar. It was fucking disgusting and I love ice cream.
Way before they became retard woke or at least were public about it.
You have to put more sugar in cold/frozen food than hot. Temp changes the perception of sweetness.
Glad I cut the crap. My desert and snacks are cheese now.
Wisconsin enters the chat
We have cheese and beer so good we don't export it
Wisconsin represent
Wisconsin puts yellow die in their cheddar cheese. Being from NY, that seems strange to me and I cannot force myself to buy it. Vermont and NY cheddar is white.
This is false. "Wisconsin" doesn't do anything. And the good stuff doesn't get exported. You might only get distribution from those that do this trying to match market expectations, Idk. Seems silly to ship cheese to upstate NY or Vermont, they make it there.
“Is Wisconsin yellow cheddar territory? The state of Wisconsin is definitely yellow cheddar territory. In fact, all throughout the Midwest, cheddar is thought of almost exclusively as a yellowish orange cheese.” per Yahoo.
Tomato Basil Whisps for the win. Or Blue cheese.
Xylitol is a good, very safe sugar/candy substitute. You can flavor it etc.
Is that why it's $5-6 for a freaking pint?
If you’re considered a premium brand you can over charge for everything so long as the perception holds.
its $3 pretty often at my local grocery store chain
It's the cost of the MTSA.
Like a friend of mine from the neighbouring state always says "I'm from Vermont, I do what I want". Good, enjoy your 10$ quart of Round-Up ice cream.
WOW you’d think if you are spending $7 for such a small portion of ice cream you would at least be getting something as close to natural ice cream as possible.
Pesticide in an ice cream? Why the fuck is there pesticide in there? I would understand if this was a salad, or some type of fresh fruit based dish, but pesticide?
Too bad I don’t eat ice cream or I would boycott them.
Unilever, who owns Ben and Jerry's ice cream, is an international chemical supply chain company. They use their ice cream product to LARP as a bunch of peacenik hippies while covertly laundering political operations through them in the United States. Their goal is to recapture regulations and trade policy in their favor, they are actual FASCISTS, and they could give two shits less about the actual peace loving hippies -- as evident here by the chemicals discovered in their carcinogenic product line.
This is the same company threatening Facebook if they do not kneel before them and shut off the Trump campaign.
This is a company that believes in corporate governance and has no concern for our rust belt or middle-America, whatsoever, they literally hate you for being different than them.
Ben and Jerry's was acquired by Unilever 20 years ago. Commie cucks gobble up this crap made by one of the biggest consumer goods corporations in the world and think that that it makes them revolutionaries who are sticking it to the man.
Well, that solves the common problem of weeds coming up in your ice cream.
Ben & Jerry's is the final carryover from my marriage to a radical leftist that have yet to completely wean off. Literally harder than marijuana, which I managed to quit this year.
I'm making progress, but I wish there was a conservative creamery I could switch to - a Black Rifle Coffee type company, but for dairy.
insert soy gasp
WOMP WOMP
hydroxychloroquine bad, drinking roundup good
Good thing I haven’t eaten Ben&Jerry’s since they gave Colbert his own flavor. And I buy pints of ice cream every weekend. These morons care more about their agenda than they do about making money.
Stephen Colbert's PedoCone Dream icecream
hahaahah haven't bought that garbage since their libtard coming out 2016
not one fucking dime
Just desserts
I thought that didn’t even belong in Roundup, because I see commercials late at night saying how if you were affected by it you may be entitled to financial compensation
Glad I stopped eating ice cream years ago
This is from 2017. Likely nothing was ever done about it, woke companies usually get away with murder. And in Ben & Jerry's case. Literally.
it's disgusting ice cream to begin with. would rather STORE BRAND any day
