Breyers Vanilla Bean is awful. I, too, thought something had one wrong with it, but I boughtseveral withthe same results. It has an undertaste. Turkey Hill is the best I've tried. I won't but Breyers again. I agree. Breyers Vanilla Bean is awful. I, too, thought something had one wrong with it, but I boughtseveral withthe same results. It has an undertaste.

It had a weird cheap-type of texture to it. I couldn't put my finger on it and sure enough there is tara gum in it! Remember when they used to brag about the ingredients in their ice cream and tell you to read the label!? Notice you haven't been hearing that little slogan for awhile now. Anyhow, last I checked Turkey Hill had HFCS in it...guess I'll be sticking to homemade for awhile now. I'm going to call and complain. The main thing I've noticed it that it doesn't melt and get all creamy anymore. It doesn't soften like it used to. Now it stays hard even 15 minutes out of the freezer.

Well, I finally motivated to get to the source of this problem...what is ruining my Breyer's Natural Vanilla that I've loved for years? Tonight I find Tara gum, and the fact that Breyer's sold out to Unilever back in 1993...I'd have to think...is that when the containers got smaller? and this flavor change, that was the last straw. Thanks to this site I'm going to track down Turkey Hill. Wow, after decades with Breyer's this is really sad. For months I thought I was crazy, too picky, it’s something spoiling it in the freezer.

I would periodically run across a beady, gritty texture with my Natural Vanilla Breyers. But guess what??? It's was much better than this crap. I was outdone when I read tara gum on the ingredients. No more Breyers for me!!!!!! I do recall the pre-tara gum days. I would periodically run across a beady, gritty texture with my Natural Vanilla Breyers. But guess what???

I always thought they used the name "Breyers" to rip off of Dreyers popularity. But than what do I know? I was always singing the praises of Blue Bunny ice cream, until I recently tried there Vanilla, it was bland and soft and resiny- I also missed those brown flecks Dreyers Vanilla has- what a disappointment!! (I can't seem to find BlueBell). But if it comes down to Blue Bunny or Dreyers? Dreyers any day!!

What everyone thinks is good vanilla ice cream is GARBAGE compared to that fresh vanilla bean Breyer's. It was absolutely amazing. Anything after 1965 is NOT the same quality.

I haven't had ice cream in years due to a strict diet. I'm fine now, and had a hankering for two of my favorite ice creams since I was, well, forever: Breyer's Vanilla Bean, and Mint Chocolate chip. I decided to get the Vanilla Bean since it has been so long, and, well, it's Breyer's Vanilla Bean! But they didn't have Vanilla Bean. So I got whatever it is called now. WOW!! What in the hell is this stuff. Can this even be called ice cream? Breyer's Vanilla Bean was the best ice cream on the planet. Now it feels like some kind of weird fluff held together with saliva or something. And it tastes like vanilla extract or something medicinal. Wow. I remember a long time ago thinking Haagen Dasz (sp) had a great Vanilla ice cream bar. And their pint of rum raisin used to be a favorite. I have a feeling I'm going to be trying HD Vanilla Bean if they have it. But it won't be the same. Breyer's was always so light; and literally half the calories of the HD's and the B and J type ice creams, which I like, but they are different and are meant to be. Breyer's Vanilla Bean was always almost like drinking sweetened milk that had been whipped up into s dreamy, silky frothy yummy but light perfection. Dang. Maybe I just will keep not eating Ice cream. I can't even imagine how bad the mint chocolate chip must be with this gum in it and all. Probably fake mint too. WOW. My whole world got turned upside down while I was sick for a couple years. I think I saw Turkey Hill at Giant or somewhere. I'll give it a try. But come on, Breyer's Vanilla Bean was something special. I mean this is really bad. What else has become bad while I was away? Is B and Jerry's Cherry Garcia still awesome? What about their New York SFC? Still decadant? I don't know. Breyer's was the real thing though. I think I'm through with ice cream. Sorry to those who hate long posts. I'm one of them. I'm just really torn up here. Holy Crap!!
