On the European side of the pond, single packaged industrial ice cream is also gone to shit.

A Magnum or Cornetto used to be a well sized very tasty snack. In Italy the "cucciolone" (an ice cream sandwich) was literally marketed as being "10 bites".

All of those are now tiny bland things that nobody should buy.

The Magnum Company (neé Algida/Walls/etc) is a fucking disaster and everybody should stop buying their products, but other single packaged ice cream snack makers have been following suit and it's basically a meme that every one of those ice creams now looks like a mignon version of the original.

Alas, small kids still like them and have no frame of reference.

At the same time I can get store brand ice cream for €1.50 per box of 6 that has two or three ingredients and tastes delicious. That’s in Portugal.

And their prices have gone through the roof too!
