I just read that! So gross! If you eat ice cream, it's worth it to pay a little extra for a more natural ice cream.

That is kind of "ick" - makes you wonder why but it is strange the experiment where they tested it, didn't get tested against other brands of ice cream sandwiches. It doesn't make sense to compare a WM ice cream sandwich to a Klondike Bar - they should have compared it to other brands of ice cream sandwiches to make it more compatible.

I've never found a moldy McDonald's french fry, either, no matter how long it may have been hidden under the seats of my car. Ever. I'm sure there's a correlation!

Okay, so you leave it out in the sun for twelve hours and it still looks like a ice cream sandwich right? Is it now edible?
What would happen to a child if it remembered the sandwich after twelve hours and then ate it.

Just not right! Part of the fun in eating an icea cream is licking the melting goodness.

I do agree with Disneypal though - it seems like it would have been a better comparison if they tested it against other ice cream sandwiches.

What it's illustrating is that the more processed the food is the less "food" is in it. In truth it's becoming more of a chemical experiment than something we should eat on a regular basis.
I've decided if I can't pronounce it, or don't know what it is on the label I'm not buying it. That was the beginning of my getting away from processed foods. If these ice cream sandwiches don't melt think what they are doing in our bodies. Does anyone remember the experiment they did with the McDonald's burger and fries where they left it on a shelf (I think) for something like months and it never changed? I didn't disintegrate like natural foods should do? Maybe another Pea can find that one for me-I'm on day 4 of a migraine here. TIA. Makes you really think what we are eating and especially what the heck they are selling us for food in this country.

Ick is right.
You're onto something there. I'm going to implement that policy, too. Scares me how much crap I'm eating. Hope your migraine goes away soon!

That's really weird because if we buy the ice cream sandwiches at WM they a flimsy and melted, the sandwich part is gooey and not as good as the Kroger ones. We even tried the klondikess.

And often times - it can't be good for us.
As far as the McDonald's experiment...I think you are referring to the movie "SuperSize Me" by Morgan Spurlock. He showed the hamburgers and fries that still looked perfect 6 months later. While every other brand had turned into a moldy mess within days. That movie was very eye opening. (and sickening!)

I think the fact that we're eating less real food and more "food-like" products is scary. I can't help but think how this stuff is affecting our health.

They don't taste like ice cream either. I used some to make a dessert and it was not good. I typically buy Blue Bell.

We noticed years ago that when we started trying to avoid buying ice cream with artificial ingredients , fillers, etc., that it melted faster than the non-"all natural" types.

If it contains something you wouldn't have found in your Grandmothers pantry, don't eat it - Jamie Oliver Although, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have found mangos or avocados in my Grannys nordic pantry, so I have modified this rule a little bit ETA: I'm reading Animal vegetable miracle at the moment, and maybe I'll be inspired to actually go back to eating locally again. Meaning fewer mangos.

Thanks doxielady-you're right. I knew I'd seen that somewhere but couldn't remember where. Migraine is gone. Finally broke down and bought the medicine I needed (we're on a deductible right now so we have to pay for everything out of pocket for awhile-$300.00 but I feel like a million dollars).

So, did I hear her correctly when she said that the more cream, the slower the melting?
I made chocolate ganche the other day and froze the left overs. I took it out of the freezer a little while ago and it *is* thawing slower than ice cream would, but ganache stays fairly thick to begin with. I am planning on making a "mousse" with it by mixing whip cream (homemade.) I have done this many times over and have found that the more cream (heavy cream) that I use, the faster the ganache/whipping cream loosens as it sits unrefrigerated.
Seems like my experience is the exact opposite of what she said??
