Ben and Jerry’s is a world apart from the product I fell in love with in the 90’s. There used to be a BIG gob of whatever the ice cream was flavored with right in the center, when I was a kid I couldn’t finish a pint- now I could easily house 2- if I would allow it. I’m certain Unilever would use the cheapest possible ingredients- what surprises me, is that cow-free dairy will be one of those ingredients- so soon…

I don't think cow-free dairy is a "cheap" ingredient.

When it comes to vegan milk alternatives, it's the closest you can get to actual milk, and it's still fairly pricey.

Edit: ok I'm not sure why you messaged me instead of commenting, but I don't think it's going to be a cheaper ingredient than any alternative soon either. I also don't see why you're using this as a dig against Ben and Jerry's, like they're using the most expensive, highest quality option on the market but they're bad because that will be cheap one day???

Didn't they come out with a "cores" product that does exactly what your saying they got rid of for ... cost reasons? Also I would expect you can eat more as an adult than as a child, you're like, what, twice the size now?
