    A sorbet or an Italian ice doesn't have butterfat at all, because neither contain dairy.

    I think that it'd be hard to convincingly claim that an ice cream intrinsically is higher quality than a sorbet or Italian ice.

    I wouldn't be happy if I was given sorbet when I asked for ice cream.

      As a European just let me say wow.

      This is wrong on so many levels. And I assume you're not aware of half of them.

      As a Canadian, lol.

      I hope I'm aware of at least 3/4's of the levels of wrongness. We're pretty influenced by American culture but still have our own identity. It seems to be fading a bit with time but I remember travelling to the US and thinking why is the yogurt so sweet? Why is the bread sweet?

        I mean, the english may have apple pies, but if JOLLY has taught me anything it's that they apparently are nowhere near as good as american apple pie, to the point there's a fancy pie restaurant in London that specializes in american pies.

          Around £0.50/mile I think is what they use here. My bike has already paid for its self in cost savings. I also suspect that value would be higher if you consider off road miles.

                Aside from the environmental impact of driving 10 (!) Extra miles (or at all) for a tiny bit of extra ice cream, which is neither healthy nor needed. It just doesn't make sense on a personal financial level to waste so much gas to get a cheaper (per volume) treat.
                For a European driving to get ice cream alone is ridiculous as many placed have ice cream shops in the town we live in that we walk or bike to.

                  No. I could probably get 3 gallons of ice cream at the grocery store for what one of those costs.

                    Oh, I thought they were taking about the ice cream itself as if it had some ungodly ingredients and sprinkles of human rights violations. Now I feel silly.

                              Adding to that, it's not even icecream but a industrial replacement of (likely) dubious quality.

                              So one could get more in better quality cheaper if consumed regularly.

                                  The amount of butterfat says absolutely nothing about quality.

                                  Is whole milk not a "quality food item" because it's only 3.25% butterfat?

                                  Edit: I forgot the quality adjective which confused some.

                                  No one said it's not a food item, just that it doesn't quailify as ice cream. Similary Ireland ruled against Subway calling their "bread" bread for the same reason, it doesn't pass the standards to qualify as that specific food item.

                                      Sorry I meant to say "quality food item".

                                      A label for fat content does not determine quality.

                                        Better =/= quality. You can prefer things of lower quality. Sure, it's only one component (I'd argue the most important one), but it's still an objective measure of quality. Maybe you can have just of high quality by using better quality ingredients other than that, but if you're skimping on this one then you're skimping everywhere almost certainly.

                                        DQ is not a fancy ice dessert place. Everyone knows that. They're the bottom tier for it. It's fine to like that. We all have certain low quality things we like; junk food for example. It's OK. You don't need to pretend like it's high quality though.

                                        The definition of Quality: "the degree of excellence of something."

                                        The amount of fat in a food product has nothing to do with its excellence.

                                        objective measure of quality.

                                        It is an objective measurement of an ingredient. It says nothing about quality.

                                        If burgers were traditionally spicy and the FDA declared a burger needed to be Scolville 500,000 to be called a burger, the level of spice still would have nothing to do with its quality. Its a label for consumers to know what they are purchasing. It is not a label about quality.

                                        I didn't say DQ is fancy. I object to confusing a consumer label about an ingredient with an objective measure of quality. No one would say the Gelato from Cremeria Cavour in Bologna is low quality because Dairy Queen has more butter fat.
