Our family has recently noticed a change in Breyers vanilla - they say it's icy. So we're going back to Hagen Daaz vanilla which can't be beat. The old Breyers was close to Hagen Daaz vanilla, but now doesn't compare.

Breyer's "Natural" vanilla is okay, but not as good as it used to be before Good Humour bought them and changed the recipe. It's OK...just not GREAT like it used to be.

Turkey Hill makes a Philly Vanilla JUST LIKE the OLD Breyers. AWESOME.

BLUE BELLE is ONE OF THE BEST Vanillas you can GET. TRY IT if you are in the midwest. HOMEMADE vanilla (Gold Rim).

SO true - Breyers changed their recipie years ago,and now it has nasty Tara GUM" in it - ist no longer the clean taste of "Breyers".
Turkey Hill All Natural Vanilla has ADOPTED the Breyers old philosophy - AND IT ROCKS!!!!!!!!! NO ARTIFICAL BS STABILIZERS OR GUMMY , STRINGY, STRETCHY GOO

I've tried them all. I've been all over this planet in my lifetime and nothing, nothing is as good as Breyer's Natural Vanilla ice cream. Even the local dairy brands and home-mades I've had over the years can't begin to touch the luscious sweet mellow vanilla taste of Breyer's. Breyer's wins. Hands down.

I'm so glad someone validated my suspicions. I thought I was the only one that noticed the change in taste. But, a wonderful thing has happened because of consumers like me & Nicole Perez. Breyers decided to return to the old formula. Now their Natural Vanilla taste just as good as it use to. I bought some last week, and confirmed this myself. 5 more pounds gained, and I'm still eating it like crack. lol www.d-mesh.blogspot.com check out my blog.

I've been addicted to Breyers Natural Vanilla for years now. At the peak of my addiction, I could go through a whole 1.5 quart in just a few days. But when I noticed that I started gaining a little weight, I cut back on it a bit.

I don't know if my taste buds changed or if Breyers decided to change the taste of it's Natural Vanilla, but there is something definitely different about it. I'm curious to know if anyone else has noticed it also.

I have been enjoying Breyer's Natural Vanilla ice cream for many years, but in an attempt to cut back on sugar, I haven't had it in quite a while. It is by far the best vanilla ice cream I have ever had (at least from a grocery store!)

Well, I was making dinner last night, and I decided to make some dessert: Breyer's Vanilla with strawberries and blueberries and some grand marnier. An awesome summertime dish. DeMon, you are totally right. I was disappointed with the "new" taste of this ice cream. Not only was the packaging smaller, but they also cut back with cheaper ingredients. I was so upset that I actually googled it to see if I was the only one that noticed. I guess not.

One of my favorite pastimes (past times?) is guessing the one-word review before the Master delivers it.

9 times out of 10 I get it wrong.

Today I nailed it.

Classic, indeed, but not the best. Do they have Brigham's down there? (BTW- Not the best either, just a geography influenced question)

Greg... if you don't keep some of that Haagen-Dazs Five around for when I am back in Raleigh I'm going to be displeased ;-)

I'm loving that Pepsi is going to release their "throwback" colas this summer using real sugar and now the Haagen-Dazs Five. Natural is far more tasty when it comes to sweets, IMO.

Ben & Jerry's has butterfat up the wazoo if I remember correctly, Hagen Daaz too.

I used to work at a Bresler's in high school for two years which is why I know about the butterfat factor. Bresler's ice cream sucked.
