    Painful trying to scroll. But I will say I’ll never be as astounded as seeing a bowl of Breyers sitting on a conference room table for an hour and never losing its shape.

      That was unusually bad. I actually had to give up on it from the nuisance.

    Icecream was solved in 1950s in USSR.

      The first step in getting good ice cream, is banishing trotsky.

      I've had lots of different ice creams. I enjoy the differences. Turkish Ice Cream is chewy for example. I like soft serve sometimes too and the quality varies widely from icy (meh) to smooth (yum) to light and creamy (yum). There's a branch in Japan that advertizes it's 25% whipped cream. it's great!

      What's 1950s USSR ice cream like?

        Process makes the product, not percentage. You can for example attempt to make icecream from say typical 30% and end up with uneatable slop only because you didn't start with whole milk out of the cow.

        Turkish I would not consider an icecream at all (and I lived in IST for half a year).

        it is hard to convey in words the sheer delight. has to be experienced.

        I've not personally had it but from my experience with fresh high quality high milk fat dairy (which I believe Soviet ice cream to be), the richness, high fat content, lack of air bubbles and stabilizers help keep it from melting.

          Best ingredients possible make the product remarcable.

          For icecream you make it from cream, not milk, not some substitute, just the real milk cream. Not the processed crap that's sold along the same crap milk. The real thing, made from real milk at the spot. And then you have the product.

          It's enshittification reversed.
