SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - Pen's SH3 Rant on 'nicknames'

Time for an ice cream rant :arrgh!:

Now I don't know about the States, but where I am in Canada it is damn hard to find good ice cream at the supermarket any more, and not pay a fortune for it (Hagen Das). Its all rubish now, no more all natural ice cream, just piles and piles of artificial stuff that tastes horrible and slightly slimy on the tongue. Even worse is the frozen yogurt section, which certainly does not taste like yogurt by any stretch of the imagination (they should call it "frozen NOT yogurt") and is closer to a horrible imitation of the horrible imitiation of what they call icecream. As for the sorbet, or gelato section.. Well what section? At best you might see a tub or two of junky sorbet or gelato.

Now a couple of years ago we did have one brand that was all natural and very good, Breyers Black Label ice cream, and best of all it was only a few dollars more expensive then the cheap junk for the same quantity. But then woe apon woe %*$%# Quebon (another milk producer) bought them out, and replaced the black label with what they call "Double Churned" and left it at the same price. Now what is this "Double Churned" stuff? Well what the little bas.. i meen jerks ;) did is take out all the natural stuff, put in all the artificial stuff, then churned the absolute heck out of it. Its actualy worse then the cheapest icecream on the market, and twice the price of it. The funny thing though is anyone who knows how to make icecream knows that you want to churn it only as much as is nessiary and not any more or it destroys the ice cream, double churning it is about the worst thing you can do.

The only good thing about that mess is the ice cream was so bad the supermarkets stoped carrying Breyers Icecream any more, even after the price fell through the floor on it. The Breyers label has been destroyed thanks to Quebon, and I can only hope their little boondoggle has cost them heavily in the wallet for destroying my only brand of good icecream.

So here I am... with no good icecream (or any other type of frozen desert) of any kind available any more for sale here.

You just had to remind me of that fact didn't ya Penelope :p :cry:

Ok rant over :) carry on, carry on, nothing to see her folks <nudges people along with his Subsim truncheon>

Plus since this is a necroed thread I guess I should lock it for good measure unless anyone sees a good reason (a realy realy good reason ;) ) for it to stay open.
