It's not ice cream, it's a "frozen dairy desert". Like how Velveeta isn't cheese. It's a "processed cheese food"

Exactly.

that's disappointing...never had it..saw it at my store he other day and thought of getting it

 

[Cody Webster]

Exactly.

It has to have a certain amount of something in it for to be called ice cream. Had a friend that used to work for Turkey Hill, and remember him talking about it

[Flybynite]

Exactly.

Nah. It was once called 'ice cream'. Breyers was the first major one to switch from using cream (or majority cream) and using instead like oils and butterfat and had to switch to calling it a frozen dessert.

At that time Turkey Hill still was an 'ice cream'. Looks like they've gone down the same road.

Also has gotten a lot smaller. Even before the recent 'shrinkflation' trend over the last 2 years the standard was a half-gallon which got shrunk down, but up until a year or so ago I'm pretty sure the new 'standard' was at least 1.5 quart

Looks like they're even under 1.5 now.

Rob says Whit needs more playing time to get him going. He has been atrocious since the all star break last year.

This was my fav Turkey Hill Ice Cream (when they were Ice Cream)

It's because it's crammed full of sugar and oil. Real ice cream is made with 100% dairy

I was reading an article that had this thought in it:

The defining moment of this era, however, comes from a player no longer on the Fightins. That honor belongs to Rhys Hoskins, whose thunderous home run in Game 3 of the 2022 NLDS against Atlanta, the bat spike heard 'round the world, signified that the Phillies were unquestionably back

Is this controversial? I don't think there's a right or wrong answer, but it is what I think about the same way my lasting memory of a play from 2008 is Matt Stairs. Likewise the play from the Eagles 2017 run is Patrick Robinson, not Ertz or Graham.

I feel like outside of the fanbase it would be Harper's NLCS HR. But not within it?

That I don't have any ice cream cause I'm trying to be a healthy lad. And now I want ice cream because of you.

It's close, but I'd still go Harper because it wasn't just the HR. It was also laying off the pitch before that. I just remember more of that than the Rhys one, but the bat spike was great.

For the birds I'd go Graham and Philly Special. Iirc the special wasn't a game changing moment, but it was just so cool to see a team have the balls to try that in the Superbowl. Add to that that it's your team and they pulled it off? I'll never forget yelling "Holy shit!!" With my brother in law.

Just have a Frozen Dairy Dessert instead.

If Hoskins had performed with any type of competency up to that point i'd possibly be inclined to side with you but to me his explosion mostly came from him being dog water up to that point in the playoffs. I think he was 1-20ish up to that point in the postseason with some defensive miscues.

I may just be a curmudgeon though.

 

[Danko]

Harpers NLCS Home Run (Bedlam At The Bank) is one of the most iconic things I've ever seen. I watch it once a month.

I didn't give one single shit what had happened before that swing in the moment. I can promise you that.

Speaking of 2008, I remember being a little surprised when baseball references (I think) said the wild pitch and error where Bruntlett went from 1st to 3rd was the single biggest play of the World Series. I guess it makes sense. It was just the Phillies year and it seems like typically Philadelphia teams would be in the opposite end of a play like that

Walker last night.

 

[dragonoffrost]

I need the Phils to sweep the Brewers. I know they can do it.

Marsh and Clemens to the 10 Day IL.
