there's no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow; in fact, there's no rainbow at all

why doesn't anyone make rainbow sherbet anymore? i mean just plain old rainbow sherbet. none of this new-fangled "rainbow sherbet, tropical" or "berry rainbow sherbet." i like mine with raspberry, lime, and orange. no berries. no pineapple. it's as much about the colors as it is about the flavors. in the defense of ice cream manufacturers, they do sell raspberry, lime, and orange separately. but that's not what i want. i want mine premixed! i don't want to have to buy one and a half gallons of ice cream at a time. that's messed up!

i noticed they have branched out on the vanilla front, however. breyers now makes vanilla, french vanilla, natural vanilla, lactose free natural vanilla, calcium rich vanilla, homemade vanilla, extra creamy vanilla, 98% fat free vanilla, 2% milk light vanilla, all natural light natural vanilla, all natural light french vanilla, sugar free vanilla, sugar free french vanilla, and carb smart vanilla (who eats vanilla? (besides my dad. and han.) what is the difference between vanilla, natural vanilla, and french vanilla? can anyone taste the difference? the only way i can tell french vanilla from vanilla is that it's yellow. and who eats low-carb ice cream?? actually, it's not even called "ice cream" anymore. breyers calls it a "frozen dairy dessert." i've tried low-carb on 2 separate occasions and both times it tasted like somebody ground paper and ice together.) breyers doesn't make rainbow sherbet. nobody does anymore. the good 'ol days are officially over.
