Avoid One Popular Vanilla Ice Cream Brand At All Costs
By Luna Christina Lupus
Tasting Table's Melissa Cabey had the chance to rank 13 popular vanilla ice cream brands, and her insightful system landed Favorite Day at the very last spot.
In its Favorite Day Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream, Target has opted to use non-fat milk, high fructose corn syrup, food coloring, carrageenan, and artificial vanilla flavoring.
The lack of quality ingredients definitely shows up in the flavor of the ice cream. Unhappy customers report it tastes chemical, weird, and somewhat like spoiled eggnog.
There's a significant lack of creaminess, and the texture is very flaky. It also has an orangey tint, and one buyer on Target’s review page said it made them downright sad.
