National Ice Cream Month

So apparently July is national ice cream month, I just figured that every month was national ice cream month because of my love for ice cream and I live in Florida, where seasons come to burn and die.

Anywho, in ode to it being national ice cream month I figured that I would share a product that I got to try for free. This is a brand that I had never tried before. So I am going to give my completely honest feedback for this ice cream.

Influenster was nice enough to send me the #MayfieldSummer voxbox. This voxbox included 2 vouchers (up to $6 each) for Mayfield Ice Cream and a Mayfield ice cream scoop. I had an issue finding the ice cream, I had to go to 3 different stores to find the brand and when I did find the ice cream, the ice cream was priced at about $6.50. So I did have to pay a little extra to get the ice cream. So, it wasn't completely free, but it was a great deal.

I ended up using both vouchers and with those vouchers I purchased the turtle tracks ice cream and the chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. The container looked fancy, they were small, especially for the price, but I thought that the quality of the ice cream would make up for amount given. 


So here comes the brutal honesty. I am a complete ice cream snob. I live in Florida and we have a grocery store called Publix and Publix has the best ice cream, I'm talking Ben & Jerrys quality ice cream. The ice cream is always reasonably priced, for example right now the ice cream is priced at 2 for $7 and the containers of their ice cream are pretty big. This is Mayfield ice cream was terrible! The ice cream was straight up chalky and gritty. Both of the ice creams were gritty and chalky, so I don't think that it was an error in production. The actual cookie dough pieces were good and also the chocolate covered caramel turtles were great. The ice cream was also very thin once it melted, I'm not sure if there is any actual cream in the ice cream. 

 I did like the ice cream scoop that came in my voxbox though! It's kinda retro and scoops great due to the design!
