It’s pretty funny that the Klondike (the only one that couldn’t legally call itself an “ice cream sandwich”) was the only one that actually melted in the oven, lol.
They probably used real ice cream, but can't legally call it ice cream anymore because it has too much cookie in it.
Probably because they pumped so much air into it it deflated. It's now a patented Klondike trade secret. How can we make our cool whip formula melt....
Klondike is the only one of any of these I would dare to eat. I feel like all are fake and I buy real ice cream even if it’s very expensive it’s worth it
That’s because Klondike’s aren’t a sandwich. It’s ice cream coated in a thin layer of hardened chocolate.
@@kristinyaekelnegley3978That’s a Klondike bar. 🙄 I can assure you that there is ZERO chocolate coating on a Klondike ice cream sandwich. Klondike ice cream sandwiches are square like the Hood ice cream sandwiches, and they do make an ice cream sandwich with chocolate ice cream too. 😂
I dont think its ice cream if it says "dairy dessert"
Is ice cream not a dairy dessert?
@@laura121684yes but not all dairy desserts are ice cream
❤🥴😍
@@laura121684The USDA regulates the amounts of milk fat and milk solids (among other ingredients) required in any product being sold as “ice cream.” If the dairy dessert in question doesn’t have a sufficient proportion of milk fat and milk solids, it can’t legally be called ice cream.
I see what you’re saying but it says ice cream sandwich. Can it still say that if it’s not actually ice cream?
It's a simple recipe, one can of sweetened condensed milk and one container of stabilized whipped cream. when I was stationed in Iraq, we would make this for the other soldiers. It works best if you use the whipped cream powder but only add 2/3 the water it asks for.
Really so why does it have 30 ingredients on the label?
@@naimahyara preservatives, filler, and the contents of whatever's in the sandwich pieces. OP was just supplying how the basic homemade version of the filling is made.
Today I watched a woman put ice cream sandwiches in the oven.
I buy those occasionally as a guilty pleasure. Recently i accidentally left one on my kitchen counter (still wrapped, yay ADHD!) for several hours. When i found it it was completely unchanged except that it was room temp. Suddenly they don't seem as appetizing anymore.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
It might look tempting but its harming you as its packed with chemicals.
Lmfao, same experience for me. A scientist said it's ok and normal to eat. They just use some sort of gelatin in the dairy. Probably had problems with ice-cream during transport and this was there way to combat melting ice cream before its on our shelves.
@@Big_boom90anything they add to our food to preserve it on the shelf longer is toxic to our bodies. Keep that in mind when buying and eating processed foods that doesn't go bad.
Just stick to "Nice cream" made with fruit. Search "Forks Over Knives Nice Cream" for a simple guide :)
The cheaper the ice cream, the more emulsifier is in them.
I dunno. Most ice creams have ammulsifiers. I remember Telamuk was a good one and now its meh
It is not about emulsification. They mix thickeners, to make water thick. Then lots of air. Air and water are cheap, so that is what the industry uses to the maximum.
Makes sense. And imo adding to the fake vanilla taste as well, or cuts the vanilla taste.
That’s what Dairy Queen’s soft serve is, just air and water and basically no ice cream. The ice cream industry has a certain percentage of dairy but it has dwindled quite a bit in the past decades according to food scientists
Kinda the opposite. Expensive ice creams get their texture from a lot of emulsified fat. Egg yolks are often used as the emulsifier. Cheap ice creams typically have much less fat and really more on thickeners for their texture
CHEMICALS CHEMICALS CHEMICALS
Water is a chemical.
my favorites has become Magnum ice cream bars where it has a 2 layers of chocolate coating around the ice cream with a layer of caramel in the middle. Although expensive. Freezing cool whip is a less calories idea for a dessert too
I envy 77F - 80F being considered a "hot" summer day 😭😭
Me too!!!
😰
Here in Georgia those are winter temperatures 😮😊
Same jealousy. In my country cold menas 89°F. Normal temps are above 92°F and as much as I was born and bred here, I still can't stand the heat. I'm indoors most of the time to escape the normal temps.
@@summerrose154531 degrees celcius is cold? Do you live in Singapore? 😅
I'm from India, most of which is fairly hot - but 31C is right on the edge of 'tolerable summer' temperatures for me.
I remember a country store where we stopped and bought ice cream sandwiches. The freezer was old and failed to keep them hard. They were "soft-serve" texture, and melted quickly. The cake would stick to your fingers and was the final treat, scraping it off with your teeth and locking the cream from your hands and fingers. Of course, you washed your hands and face at the roadside puddle, while watching the tadpoles scuttle. Memories!😂
Awesome post! 👏👏👏👊
Born in 69 and yes, I too remember this country store.
Yooooo facts
This man right here "Turning the friggin frogs g**" 😂
I grew up in the country and moved to the city in 2015 nd i get such nostalgia even though im only 22. Hate the city tbh
In my world, ice cream that doesn’t melt isn’t food.
theyre not ice cream, thats the point lol. its not that its ice cream that doesnt melt, its just that its a dessert with dairy products in it that doesnt melt
My memory of loving these things in my youth, but now I can't have this stuff any more, so I have vicariously enjoyed them through your video. Well done!
This blows my mind…I would swear I remember ice cream sandwiches melting as a kid (like you of the 70’s/80’s). Fun video!
I'm born in 92 and my ice cream sandwiches used to melt . Nothing stink like opening up the paper and it has already melted and became a mess 🤣😭😭😭😭
Maybe it varies on the location? The Kroger sandwiches here melt before I arrive home 😅
But also they are very easy to make. Vanilla, milk & sugar(or stevia) in a blender. You can make Oreo sandwiches or use chocolate bread.
They did melt back then. My friends daughter packed her own lunch one day in 1992, and she was only seven so she didn’t know any better and she packed ice cream sandwiches instead of normal sandwiches. Her mother had to bring her a lunch because at lunchtime she opened her lunch bag and had nothing but melted ice cream as far as you could see, lol. So this additive must have been added after that sometime.
Yeah, we have bought kroger and walmart ones and they definitely melt for us....how strange.@WhiteWolfos
@@anntunaley9974 bhahahaha 🤣😭😭😭
We have a brand in Canada called “No Name”. When my daughter was a toddler she left her ice cream sandwich out in our family room and it wasn’t notice until 48hrs later was still intact with no melted mess behind. We stopped buying them.
There's nothing wrong with them. It was made with carrageenan, an extract from seaweed that's used for thickening in various "creamy" products, e.g. the cream part of sandwich biscuits. Someone found out that they could "freeze" it and then sold it as ice cream.
It's edible, it's seaweed after all. But some people may think it's unusual.
@@boulderbash19700209 Nope. Hard Pass. Ice Cream melts. No one cares for irregular additives that isn't what the product is supposed to be which is Iced Cream.
oh my god it's just a thickener. are you people real.
@@SpaceManRD Or it can be people just want natural ice cream. Isn't that a wild thought.
lol when I was a little kid apparently my mom found a McDonald's burger in her car that was completely petrified. no mold or rot. we hadn't gone to McDonald's in like 6 months.
Hello Emmy! I’ve been watching your channel for such a long time, and you’re always such a familiar face. These videos have brought me great comfort over the last decade it seems. Thank you!
Emmy, thank you for adding that “it’s still safe”. People get so hysterical about that sort of thing! This was a really fun video. And I’m with your son. For some reason, ice cream sandwiches have always been my favorite ice cream treat. Maybe because the sandwich part makes it feel more like cake and ice cream to me.
Well, I suppose that would depend upon your definition of safe. European food standards are much stricter than our own here in the USA. (Their products, which you'd think are identical to ours over here, often taste a LOT better, too).
When my kids were small, I added gelatin to popsicle juice before freezing to reduce dripping. For homemade ice cream, a little plain gelatin, xanthan gum, or agar agar added to the milk also keeps the drips at bay. Ice cream will still melt but it's not as messy.
Gelatin gives frozen snacks a great texture too. Great in frozen cups.
My mom used to use Kool-aid matched with the same flavour of jello to make popsicles and they were delicious.
Oh snap! That is awesome!
Xanthem gum, be careful with that, which is the way, I’ve heard it pronounced! I know it’s a chemical preservative that tends to make things taste off if they use too much in the product, and, will get a migraine from 👺🔥 if you can’t tolerate it that well! It’s in your seasoning packets as well! Like in taco and chili seasoning that’s where you can taste it very strongly! I learned to make my own taco and chili seasoning and, it’s not that complicated! As you start to get older you can taste some of those horrible preservatives!
@@sonyafox3271it's a polysaccharide, a soluble fiber. It's good for you. You'll have to blame the rest of your unhealthy eating habits for any health issues instead of the "scary, unpronounceable science ingredient" next time. Sorry.
Stabilizers and carrageenan.
Gives a silky/soft texture but its no longer "ice cream"
I wonder if it also has to do with air content. A lot of cheaper icecreams are like 50% air, making them essentially a foam, whereas nicer icecreams are denser and more full of milk fat. I imagine them being foam could help explain why they keep their shape, whereas a mostly fat and water mixture is going to turn to liquid faster. The Klondike sandwich looked more like decent icecream, while the other 3 looked like foam before and after melting.
yes! and while it may not be ice cream, that doesnt mean this is harmful in any way. no different than jello holding its shape
What defines "ice cream"?
@@MrMackievelli there are sometimes actual laws about it, in Canada where I live, to be called ice cream it "must be at least 10 percent milk fat, and must contain at least 180 grams (6.3 oz) of solids per litre"
Per the FDA
1) Contain at least 10% milkfat
2) Weigh at least 4.5 pounds per gallon
Only the Klondike one said frozen dairy dessert on the box, though. I would have expected the others to melt
Excellent video! I never understood the fuss... It's basically a foamy pudding/custard type mixture that tastes like ice cream. I've had real ice cream cookie sandwiches, and they are nearly impossible to eat... just tooth-chipping, rock hard, while simultaneously, a melting sticky mess.
Moderation is the key here... do that, and it doesn't matter.
So this reminds me of a room safe "ice cream" you can find in hospitals, nursing homes and disability accommodation sometimes. The idea being that for ppl with swallowing issues who cant eat ice cream because it melts in the mouth and the texture becomes too "thin" and a choking hazzard, so this expensive stuff is marketed as being safe to swollow for ppl with modified swallowing requirements.
Never would have guessed there was a cheaper mainstream product available.
I had no idea about the potential choking hazard. Thanks for the info.
@@CoffeePlease. A medical condition called Dysphagia, these people can't swallow regular food and liquids. It concerns the muscles used for swallowing. Liquid has to be thickened, food pureed and thickened or they will choke.
@@tbob8212 Thank you very much. 🫶🏻
magic cups! i used to take them sometimes when i worked at a nursing home lol
@@CoffeePlease. Hospitals have multiple interesting levels of thickness depending on patient needs.
When I worked foodservice in a hospital we had thickened to nectar, which was low. Thickened to honey, which was... well duh. The last was thickened to pudding, which was pudding texture. You've never seen horror until you've seen black coffee thickened to pudding. No one EVER finished their pudding coffee.
I haven't had ice cream sandwiches in a long time and this has helped me to never eat one again.
Even when I was a kid i remember thinking the chocolate "bread" part tasted like cardboard
@@ganasde65 Haha... You are absolutely RIGHT! But I have to say that has ALWAYS been my favorite part!
Same. I don't buy them, I make them myself. And not nary a gum shall come near it 😂
I love ice cream but I hate ice cream sandwiches
😂😂😂
This is amazing. I don't remember how I got here. And I stayed awake watching almost all of a video about melting ice cream sandwiches. But I'm glad I did.
This was my first time watching your video, and two things blew my mind first, being you said you remember in the 70s and 80s I literally thought you were in your mid 20s at most I can tell you're a fun mom but the second thing was how knowledgeable you are and your ability to tell us about it and you have a calming voice lol keeping that inside voice 👍🏾
Child of the 70's? I'm 44 and I thought you were in your 20's! Good for you!
I almost fell out of my chair!
She's 46 according to online sources. We could start a rumour that she sleeps inside a crystal pyramid. Or she's a vampire.
Ikr? I thought she was my age (early 30s)!
Emmy is a gorgeous queen. Timeless
I'm 28 years old and I look way older than her. Genetics is a blessing.
Anyone else remember ice cream day at school? Ours was Friday, you got to choose from an ice cream sandwich, a drumstick, Fudgsicle, or a Push Up for 25 cents.
My son's school still does it on friday but it's $1 each
We had only one ice cream day at school on 1st June (children day) 😂 We had "normal" ice cream so it was soooo messsy.
The school district local to me has ice cream every day. $1.25-$1.50. My son is now homeschooling but he got ice cream often. It was elcheapo crap though.
We got a Dixie Cup, a little plastic half cup serving of vanilla ice cream.
Man y'all had awesome schools. Mine was poor and didn't have that.
Well now I know what to bring home on a hot summer day. That was so fun!
I laughed when you used the word parallelogram to describe the shape of the different flavors. Brings back memories from my geometry classes in high school.
I thought she said she didn't like the slant of parallelogram, referring to the cookie party being slanted?
I thought it was refreshing to hear someone use the correct term.
@@lreking8929 except it wasn't the correct use of the word as they're not paralellograms....
I was a cook at a nursing home. They had a dairy dessert cup that didn't melt. It was made for people on a fluid restricted diet and those on a puree diet
From Hormel? That stuff is so cool, it's meant to be pudding if you put it in the fridge & ice cream if you put it in the freezer. Plus it's shelf stable.
never have i ever heard of a fluid restriction diet, what the heck is that ?
@@katsu9582 it's for people with swallowing disorders or certain stomach disorders. It's not a diet type diet. My child was on a type of one for a couple of years.
@katsu9582 When my organs were failing, I was on heavy fluid restrictions to try and drain/reabsorb fluid from my lungs
The reason why the ones in the video don't melt is probably mostly in part because of the algae gelatin.
This made me think of the old Du Pont Better Living Through Chemistry ads. Hell, I think I melt more at room temperature than those damned things.
Did you ever as a child get to go to Epcot center and see that pavilion? They were sponsored by companies like general electric and Siemens, Duppnt. 'shaping a world that will last' lyrics type of stuff 😂
When I sit too long in one place, I leave behind a small puddle of chocolate. At least, I think it's chocolate...
DuPont, better living through dumping millions of gallons of industrial waste into the Delaware River
Ha! I remember those ads too. And because of all the chemicals in processed foods, and even raw foods , ( and really in everything) I am often quoting that slogan “ better living through chemicals” to my husband, in a sarcastic tone of voice.
I need that on a t shirt!
That happened to me years ago. The Walmart icecream sandwiches fell out of the grocery bag, in my van on a hot summer day. I found them the next day. No mess, not melted.
I like this video, when your test and tasting ice cream bars. I like those ice cream bars myself, haven't bought them for a long time.
I remember working at Walmart years ago and finding a room temperature box of ice cream sandwiches lying on top of a display of women’s t-shirts. I picked it up to bring to the back room for disposal, fully expecting the box to leak, but it didn’t and the sandwiches inside looked fresh from the freezer when we were throwing them out. Didn’t eat an ice cream sandwich for years after.
I remember years ago how had to eat icecream fast because it would start melting. Sorry I question the products they have now a days
Picture this. One of my experiences in my sub-teen years. Bakersfield California August ,about 1969. Over 100*F. For days in a row. The ice cream truck rolls up. We by ice creams on a stick. One of us accidentally drops our ice cream on the ground. Then the next day we all meet up and there on the sidewalk is yesterday's fallen ice cream . Pretty much in it's original shape just a bit deflated add minus the stick. We figure the neighbor's dog came by left the ice cream but took the stick.😮
Smart dog 😂
if a dog don't eat something, be smart, its because it's bad for your health x)
I have a friend who lives near Inyokern and I can picture the weather but I can't picture the ice cream bar surviving, freaky😂
Very Interesting & Informative Ice Cream SandWich Test & Experiment. Thank You For UpLoading.
I used to always notice the foaminess when i ate icecream sandwiches and i never liked the taste. It never tasted like real ice cream but moreso cream. Thanks for this

Love ice cream thanks for doing this video ❤
Schwann’s has the best ice cream sandwich’s ever. The cookie part is fresh and crisp, the ice cream isn’t just frozen cool whip. My mother in law always had these.
But does the cookie break into five pieces when you bite into it? I really prefer the mushy cookies.
I remember getting their Golden Nuggets from the truck. So good
Love your take on the video great explanation an ended it with the assurance that the ingredients were still safe for consumption thanks
I know you wanna say that there's additives that make this behave this way, but I wonder if it's more that they are pumping air into their "ice cream". They don't have to put air on the ingredients and they can save millions in mass quantity. Foam has a tendency to dry and keep it's volume.
The stabilizers help the air hold its shape! If you look at high quality vs cheap ice cream, the air quantity can change- the volume is the same, but the weight is different. But cheap ice cream will still melt. If it’s got lots of stabilizers, and won’t ‘melt’. ‘Frozen dairy dessert’ has milk and stabilizers.
Not really, I make ice cream specifically by whipping cream and folding it into my other ingredients (you don't need any churning or machine that way) and my ice cream melts instantly since it's 90% whipped cream.
My grandfather grew up with a gold spoon in his mouth. He was an heir to a brewery fortune but lost everything in the depression when he was around 25. He became a notorious miser and bought the cheapest of everything-- until around 1970, when he bought a carton of dirt cheap ice cream. It tasted so awful my grandmother threw it in the sink and it was still there in all its square glory the next morning. My grandmother took over the grocery shopping.
It makes sense that it has the stabilizers to harden the ice cream and make it keep its shape. Regular ice cream has a softer texture and wants to move more easily
i found this recipe on the back of a Jell-o puding box about 20 yrs ago. its perfect for making ice cream sandwiches or even a cream pie 1 pkg of pudding mix, 1 1/4 cup of milk, 4 cups of cool whip ...what i like to do is take graham crackers and put a tbsp of mixtire between 2 squares ...let them set in the freezer... the longer you let them set the outside of the cookie stays crunchy but the insides are soft ..perfect balance! perfect for small children these DO NOT MELT
I was curious so I googled if Turkish ice cream was also "melt resistant" because of the ingredients (orchid roots and mastic) & it is. I love the taste & texture of turkish ice cream :)
Where did you find this

😮 Wow! Where can I purchase it?🤔 I'm not much of an ice person I prefer homemade Italian ice but, I would love to try the Turkish brand. 😊
Me grateful icecream sandwiches were not completely ruined for me by the end of this video. Thanks Emmy ! ❤
Thanks for this video. Never thought about the melting part, because it's never left out long enough. But I have to say, I'd rather have ice cream that will melt. I did buy these before though, and was all good. Just scary to see how it doesn't melt much even at 84°!

Wow, those are some stable ice cream sandwiches! I think I remember my grandmother leaving out one of those Value Brand ice cream sandwiches out for a half hour before eating it just to slightly soften it back when she lived in Virginia. Neat to see the science behind their melting!

Hi Emmy :) For some reason your videos havent been showing up on my feed. So happy to see a new video - love your content!
Always look at your subscritpions page and not your YT home page.
Unsubscribe then re-subscribe and turn All notifications back on. UA-cam glitches sometimes.
I bet one of the reasons they make them not melt is for shipping. Everyone knows a pallet sits out too long before it gets stocked, or if a freezer truck goes out. With this kind of buffer the customer wouldn't notice any changes if they were refrozen.
Exactly what I was going to say. I have worked in merchandising in dollar stores, I can tell you that these "ice cream"dairy treats are melted and refrozen multiple times before the customer even touches them...
If you refreeze them, they have a noticeable icy texture.
Ice cream sandwiches will always remind me of my mom. They were her favorite.
Looking great Emmy.🎉😊
Even leaving a McD's shake out to "melt" is a little suspect...
Why do they separate?

Mississippi Mud Ice Cream Sandwich is awesome! Also try KEMPS triple chocolate ice cream sandwich yum.
I love it 💗 she said she hadnt have chocolate ice cream sandwich in a minute...oh yeah, come too the cookout lil sis❤👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
my fav ice cream sandwich is the coffee one from Trader Joe's
I think the resistance to melting helps when you pick them up and bring them home and refreeze them without losing the quality
Quality lol
I get them all the time. My youngest loves them. They melt all the time. Both the plain and Neapolitan ones. I live in Florida everything melts here. By the time I get them back home from the store they are melted
The crucial measure for ice cream sandwiches is whether or not the ice cream squishes out of the wafers, or if the wafers compress & shoot the ice cream out the sides. Great Value ice cream sandwiches are actually really good in this regard - the biscuit has some resistance but bites well & doesn’t compress the filling or squirt it out.
I wish I had thought to do this experiment for a science fair project! 🥇Give Emmy 1st Place🏆 at the Science Fair!!

I had a Breyer's left in my rv over the hot summer over a decade ago, still looked fine. Make your own ice cream, don't need a machine.
There is something wrong if lasted like that. Just like margarine o heard wont go bad, can sit for long time
@@kathyskorek2565margarine is two molecules away from being plastic. That's how it was discovered.
These Walmart brand ice cream sandwiches are my favorite as well ❤❤❤❤❤
Most 'ice creams' from stores aren't churned anymore but are instead basically an enriched whipped cream. A lot of that is due to manufactured ice creams not having the fat content ice-cream is suppose to have to make it creamy, so that creaminess is derived from process instead (in this case, heavy whipping). The gums are stabilizers meant to protect the frozen desserts from temperature differentials in case they are mishandled, weather issues, etc. They're all derived from a natural source and safe to eat, certainly not any more dangerous than the sugar itself. This isn't some insidious manufacturing ploy. Costumers have been demanding lower fat products for decades but they still want things like ice cream, so the textures and flavors that used to be imparted by fat have to be replaced with something, in this case process and thickening agents.
Klondioke spent all their money on me screaming we want a Klondike bar when I was a kid.
*what would you do for a Klondike bar
I bought the ice cream machine attachment for my kitchen aid mixer and used one of the recipes in the instruction manual, made the ice cream, served up a portion, ate a little before dozing off for the evening and woke up the next morning and it was fully intact and I didn't use any weird ingredients when making it. Was quite disturbing.
I love the Hood ones for cheap ice cream sandwiches, but there's a place here in PVD called Tricycle Ice Cream that makes some really good fancy ones in-house
This video explains why I only purchase the expensive, name brand ice cream. I don’t need those extra additives
Emmy your voice and hand motions are like ASMR for my brain, I could watch and listen to you describe and explain all kinds of things no baking required. After a hot shower and now comfy in my bed your video is just so relaxing.
So true! Ordinarily, I wouldn’t watch anyone who said, “my lovelies” - but I could watch Emmy all day!!❤️❤️
This is very very off topic but this sorta reminds me of learning that American cheese is just cheddar cheese boiled in water with some chemical thickners
I like to eat a piece of Kraft singles when I feel a little nauseated. I tell myself it's a calcium supplement which in a way it is.
Wish we could go back in time before Velveeta was bought out. The original recipe by Monroe Cheese Co is said to be completely different and tasted a LOT better. When it got bought Kraft replaced ingredients to save money. -_-
That's weird because my mom can eat American cheese, but cheddar gives her a migraine!?
Nilesred/nilesblue, one of his channels recently made American cheese to demonstrate that actually
and you have to wonder why anyone would do this then market it? Like why not just eat the cheddar cheese? What was the fascination in the early 1900's with chemicalizing everything? And why did it take off and only get worse as the years go by???
yeh, the same thing happens with Klondike bars. left one over night on my night stand and the chocolate got soft, and oil separated, but three was no actual 'ice cream' to melt; it's the same stuff in a tub of cool whip, which will not melt either.
This is such a great video.
You’re awesome. 😂
I haven't had icecream sandwiches in decades. Need to try some.
Get the Blue Bunny ones. They haven't shrunk their size like everyone else has.
In Arizona everything melts.
Does that include all of the plastic on vehicles?
The plastic in the vehicles cracks, unfortunately.😔
One thing is most people think it's just going to turn into liquid milk, ya old fashioned ice cream eith ice and milk only might melt, however the best kind of ice cream being Frozen Custard has over 12% butterfat content right? , so as soon as you deviate from ice and milk your finished product is not going to melt into just milk... The Klondike had a lot more pressure or weight on top so I think that's why it splooged out more. But I'm a fan of soft serve .. love it!!
I go to Walmart every other Sunday. When I checked out this last week, the guy in front of me must have had 15 boxes of the Great Value Neapolitan ice cream sandwiches. Not sure why, but it was fun to see!
They achieve the texture with a mix much like a crisco cream/powered sugar and extra carrageenan and likely some kinda grain based starch and of course, extra whipping for added air to give more structures for everything to build within, kinda like whipping egg whites.
So glad Europe has stricter food rules. Also here an ice-cream sandwich is actual ice-cream in-between two straight waffle cone sheets
It makes me so mad that my country allows such disgusting additives in our foods… wish we had the same food regulations as Europe.
plenty of gum additives are perfectly legal in the EU lol
@@kaemincha im not saying they aren't. But food laws are stricter
@@uribove definitely agree with that! just don't think it exactly applies to this context
@@kaemincha well I've never seen a European style ice-cream sandwich that didn't behave like the Klondike bar... So it does apply.
Yes gums are allowed but not in that big a quantity that ice cream behaves like the great value one
it's whipped and aerorated ice cream foam. the very small air bubbles and gums in them hold it together longer provide a creamier texture and require less solid ice cream to fill the volume thus saving the company loads of money and expensive non foamed ice cream.
The reason they don't melt like what you'd expect is because they use emulsifiers and gelatin or other stiffening agents so they don't have to actually whip the cream as much and can use cheaper lower fat milk.
5:30 "Pink & Brown, it's an old band, are they still around?" ...I checked, they broke up in 2003...But now that i've listened to their music, i can't help but picture a young Emmy in full punk attire headbanging on their songs 😁
Pink n brown is a wild band name lol
Back in the 1980s I shared a back yard with several cottages. I found a broken open package of ice cream that someone had apparently dropped on their way home from the store. It was summer, and out of curiosity I left it for a few days and it never melted.
Fellow New Englander , love it.
Leominster Ma,in the kitchen.👍
Ahh I remember reading about carrageenan being from seaweed.
Food-grade carrageenan is an additive derived from red seaweed that is generally recognized as safe by the FDA
I love how she’s so excited for the Results lol cute
Figured this out yeears ago. I stopped buying them at that time. I figured _if it doesn't melt while sitting on the counter, it won't melt in my stomach_
I hope you're joking. Lol stomach acid is very strong.
@@ivanamendez478 Yes, it is but I don't need to give my stomach acids something to fight with. It's been 15 years since then and my tummy is doing A-OK without the _dairy dessert_ 😂❤
I just had one exactly like it from Safeway last night. It was odd and not Ice-cream in my opinion.
It had a chemical aftertaste and an odd mouth feel.
About 45 years ago when I was a teenager you could get chocolate ice cream sandwiches but they had a vanilla like cookie instead of chocolate, but they were yummy. I'm not sure if they're still available but now you have me curious so I had to Google it and the DO still make them but with the chocolate cookie.
Most of these are curbside pickup or instacart but possibly in store as well... Great Value from Walmart, Food Lion brand, Tillamook from Publix. Mayfield and Blue Bunny brands also makes them.
Fun thing about the ice cream sandwich- the ice cream (or dairy product, whatever) stays solid partially due to how the product is whipped. The introduced air/dairy product mix creats a matrix of foamy bubbles that keeps the form of the ice cream sandwich when melted. It's almost like a sponge, only with sealed bubbles. It's also why it can be easily freeze dried without turning into a solidified puddle.
The binding agents help, as well. But you can get away with real ice cream with minimal added agents, if the end product is well-whipped.
Another thing to add, this has been a known thing for a while. But food scientists tend to avoid the topic because people brigade, and accuse the food scientist of peddling plastics to kids or some crazy junk.
Hi Emmy, thank you for sharing this video about the stabilization of the ice cream sandwiches. Like you, I have enjoyed the Great Value original vanilla and as I got older and a little wiser, I did learn about the stability from the gum. You have me thinking which I plan in doing a little experiment myself. I will be going camping in June and I always get ice cream. However, this time I will take a box of Great Value ice cream sandwiches and carry them in my electric cooler. The cooler temperature will average around 45degree(f) so it should be fine. My first stop will be about 7 hours away which I’ll stay for a couple days before moving on. Let’s see how well they hold up. I plan documenting my trip so I will include the ice cream sandwiches. Bless you Emmy🙏.
Great value I believe makes ice cream sandwiches with chocolate ice cream in them. I think theres another brand that does as well. I've definitely had them before though and their my favorite version of ice cream sandwiches.
I used to stock these and the ones I stocked melted. We had a freezer malfunction. This was 3 yrs ago. Unless something has changed in the ingredients. S
