What You Should Know

You'd spot this half‑vanilla half‑chocolate tub in the supermarket freezer aisle or pulled from your freezer for a family movie night or casual celebration. It reads indulgent and nostalgic — the classic split flavors that feel like a simple, comforting treat. The very smooth, stable texture and ingredient list (added sugars, processed cocoa, stabilizers and natural flavors) point to industrial formulation and characteristics of ultra‑processed foods.
