Maybe I'll just make the ice cream at the place they sell the LN2. Have them dump it right into the mixture. Has to warm up anyway, right? :D

Yeah! Their liability insurance won't mind at all! ;D

As for shardian's ice cream, by the sound of it the ice cream got warm and melted a bit, then refroze. I'd call Edy's and complain, get a free coupon, and try it again from another store.

That was the first thing we assumed, and it was obviously not the case. You can tell from texture when ice cream is 'refrozen'. This was definitely the way it was put in the carton initially. We've also gotten it from Walmart and Krogers, and it was the same deal.

That's disappointing. I've always liked Edy's.

Just noticed that Breyer's has followed suite and reduced their size down to 1.5 quarts on all their flavors not just the novelty flavors. At least here is Florida, Publix Premium ice cream is still a half gallon and blows away any other name brand.

Yep, noticed Breyers too. Good weight loss program, because you either get less or just get mad and don't buy it.

It wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing to learn to make your own at home, whether you use a standard ice cream maker or something that uses Nitrogen :)

Meh, Walmart has Bluebunny Gallon buckets for $5-$6. You can't make a gallon of good homeade Icecream for $5.
I'll reconsider once that last bastion of tasty/somewhat low cost ice cream barrier is broken.
