Counted only 24 flavors (12 in each refrigerated glass counter). Not 28 or 31. Unless they hid the other 4 (or 7?) flavors in the back somewhere. Very smart of them to bill themselves as the favorite "premium" ice cream. This is because, they are not "super-premium" ice cream. (Yes, there is such a category :) ). Ben & Jerry's and Haagen Daaz (both from the US) is considered super-premium. I think the definition of super-premium is at least 45% milk fats, or less than 20% air, or something like that. That's why Ben & Jerry's and Haagen Daaz is more "solid". Baskin Robbins is softer. And therefore why it's cheaper lah. <strong>G:</strong> Yeah. They are missing quite a few flavours :) Must go check out their larger outlets one of these days. Thanks for the explanation about super-premium ice cream. Didn't know about it. Might look into it a little more one of these days. That explains why Haagen Daaz is 50% more expensive as well ;) I tried it. Counted only 24 flavors (12 in each refrigerated glass counter).
