Culver's has several stores in the Phoenix area. Their frozen custard is really good, as is their food.

Very possible. Getting past the 16% had been a goal for a long time. You've piqued my interest on this issue after being away a long time. I'll have to do some research on it.
Thx

After several pints of research, I'm still going to stick with HD over B&J, but I must admit, there are several flavors of B&J I'll pick over HD if the flavor of HD I want isn't available.
In an even face-off though, say vanilla to vanilla, it's HD, no question.

This was in 1991, and it actually said 17% on the lid back then, while the lesser brands had around 11-12%. I managed to verify that.
I believe it may have become unfashionable since then to advertise a high fat content.

I'll let you take off your little-rues and decide for yourself which one I meant.

I very rarely eat ice cream—only on really hot days (which, given my location … well, see ‘very rarely’ earlier in sentence), so I’m no great connoisseur.
I don’t think I’ve ever had Ben & Jerry’s. I’ve had Häagen-Dazs, but I don’t really consider it anything special, apart from the price tag. Doesn’t really taste much better to me than any other decent brand of ice cream you buy in a box in a store (though even I can tell the difference if we’re comparing it to the really cheap no-name brands).
Oddly, though I quite like chocolate, I’ve never liked chocolate ice cream. And none of all those chocolate chip cookie/lard batter/doughnut hole/pastry sweepings flavours crap you Americans seem so fond of, please.
If it’s to be good ice cream, then I go to one of the stores not far from here that make their own ice cream fresh every night/morning, and it’s got to be the right flavours: berries, citrus fruits, sorbets, etc. Anything that’s fresh and cool. Chocolate, nougat, caramel … all that stuff is good, but not in ice cream.
So I guess my answer is ‘Local brand no one cares about’, even if it’s not actually a brand, but a store.

I don't know how you feel about Schwan's. They have 1/2 and 1 gallon sizes.
Products:Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
Blue Bell makes it, but they don't sell in Cali. You could drive to Yuma or Lake Havasu if you gotta have.

You.
Vanilla ice cream + bag of chocolate chips + mixing spoon == chocolate chip ice cream.

Keep your chocolate chips out of my ice cream. I hate finding a crunch in my smooth ice cream.
