Brigham's Ice Cream Never Shrank

By Ben Popken May 6, 2008

If you’re sick of ice-cream makers shrinking their package sizes, maybe you should try Brigham’s ice-cream. They’re still selling true quarts and true 1/2 gallons, with 15.5% butter fat and 55% air. They might be hard to find in some places but they’re the number-one selling vanilla in Boston. Non-deceptive labeling and sizes, wicked!

    This article sucks, most readers can’t get their hands on the stuff, unless they’re willing to pay $99 for six pints!

        I want to know who still sells half gallons of good ice cream, that DOESN’T come in one of those ridiculous round tubs that take up half of your freezer! What ever happened to the rectangular cardboard box?

    whoa! Note: most chain stores (Redner’s Markets in PA for example) have store brands that are still 1/2 gallons.

    Alas, Brigham’s went bust recently and their supermarket brand was acquired by Hood. I haven’t tried it to see if it has changed; I grew up with Brigham’s, and I loved it. I don’t want to taste a hollow mockery. I still don’t know what has happened to their restaurants.

    Something interesting about the ice cream shrink ray, though: it seems to be getting reversed. I have ice cream from less than a month ago that’s the “new” standard of 1.5 quarts, but I bought some ice cream a few days ago (different flavor, same brand) and it’s 1.75 quarts! And ALL of the brands that shrank seem to be doing the same thing.

    It’s odd how they all stay in sync. I have to wonder if there’s some sort of conspiracy between the manufacturers to all stay at the same sizes!
