Ranking Ice Cream Brands | Bless Your Rank 

Don’t worry, I removed my brain before filming to keep it from freezing.

Where you went wrong was by getting the milk chocolate Blue Bell. You should have gotten the Dutch chocolate. I didn't even know they HAD a milk chocolate but, by definition, it's a lighter flavor of chocolate anyway.

Fun Fact Time: Häagen-Dazs ice cream was first made in Bronx New York in 1960 by Ruben and Rose Mattus. The name Häagen-Dazs means nothing they just put a lot of letters together until it sounded Swedish. Häagen-Dazs the first boojie ice cream.

the thing i love about Bless Your Rank is he isn't afraid to change his mind if he discovers something better

At this point, Bless Your Rank is just a way for Matt to confirm his beliefs or rethink his entire existance and for us to watch along.

“Who doesn’t like ice cream? Lactose intolerant?” That is false, I’ve never met a lactose intolerant person who doesn’t go “screw my allergy, I want dairy”

A wise person once told me, “Life is too short for cheap ice cream.” Words I have lived by ever since. Zero regrets.

Did he really say to Blue Bunny “if it was good ice cream, it wouldn’t be freezer burned” while Mayfield, with freezer burn, sat in first and won the thing in the end? 😅

Raise your hand if you remember that one summer where Blue Bell had a massive recall so you couldn't get ANY that year. All of Texas collectively lost their minds.

Does everyone else want to be friends with Matt? Lol. Seriously, though, Blue Bell is the best to me.

Ya'll I nearly lost it at the transition between his blood sugar crash and the sugar activation!! Trying to be quiet in the break room at work 😆 🤣 😂

I wonder if it depends on where it's shipped from. For example, here in Oregon, Tillamook brand is local and their ice cream is SO GOOD. It tastes really fresh and it's super creamy. But people elsewhere say it's bad ice cream. Maybe the trick is to get ice cream from the brand that has a manufacturing facility nearest to you (not where they're headquartered, but if they have a factory nearby)

“Good enough to put a “coexist” sticker on a Subaru.” 😂😂😂

Mayfield's cow's name was Rosebud. If you toured the dairy with your elementary class, they let you try to milk a cow and gave you a button that said, 'I milked Rosebud at Mayfield Dairy'.

The thing about breyer's, you wont find the words "ice cream" anywhere on the package. Just says "frozen dairy dessert". They cut so many corners they're not even allowed to call it ice cream anymore.

Actually, lactose intolerant people love ice cream, we just have to deal with extra consequences 😂

Great job Matt. I had never heard of Mayfield before. Guess I have something to look forward to on my next trip down south.

We call the big tub of ice cream, birthday party ice cream.

Big tub of ice cream is what I was raised on. Vanilla flavored, because we mixed other flavors in if we wanted something special. It was cheaper than the smaller amounts and much more.

My dad was the manager at a dairy from the time I was a kid until he retired (I even worked for him when I was in college). Not a dairy with cows, but a distribution center of milk and ice cream. That tub looks identical to the ones I knew growing up. There was nothing better than going to see him at work and going into the ice cream freezer (a GIANT freezer filled with ice cream) and being allowed to get a treat from the "broken package" cart.

Don't knock the containers for blue bunny. I use them to store nuts and bolts in my shop. Should be added to your southern Tupperware set

Matt, you bought Blue Bell “Milk Chocolate” flavor. As a lifelong Texan, I have to say, that is not the go to chocolate flavor of Blue Bell. “Dutch Chocolate” is, in my opinion the true chocolate flavor of the Blue Bell brand.

Blue Bell tastes better when it isn't melted like the one you had there. Also, go for the Dutch Chocolate hard frozen, or The Great Divide, where you can get some homemade vanilla on one side with the Dutch Chocolate too on the other side.

I miss my Southern roots but gotta tell y'all: Turkey Hill ice cream from Lancaster County PA is the best.

The fact that he called city hall to ask about blue bunny🤣🤣 omg it had me crying from laughter

I would love to see some of the old Bless Your Ranks recreated, but doing a blind taste test. Super interested if the rankings would still stand up if Matt couldn't see which brand was which.

I’m just going to say it, Matt is the best RU-vid personality out there. There I said it. ❤️ you Matt!

I was today years old when I learned that what we call Dreyers ice cream out here in California is called Edy’s East of the Rockies. 🤔 I saw that signature striped box and ran to the web to double check! This video is gold, as always. 😁

Fun fact, despite its name, Häagen-Dazs is an American brand. And it's something the owners just came up with because they thought it sounded Danish (the Jewish owners wanted a Danish-sounding name as tribute to Denmark's treatment of Jews during WWII). But ä and zs do not exist in Danish. However similar words in Danish, hagen and das means chin and outhouse respectively.

As a Texan I was sadly dissapointed to not see Tillamook. During the great ice cream famine when there was no bluebell we where forced to make hard choices. Tillamook filled a void thier Rocky road was on point and got us through some hard times.

Matt: "It tastes like cardboard!" Also Matt: eats like seven more spoonfuls

Y’all have a Publix right?! Publix has their own dairy plant, store brand isnt generic on the ic cream, they need representation!

Those big ol' tubs of ice cream (I have 4 kids, lots of parties!), once empty, hold 5 pounds of rice perfectly and last about 20 years before the plastic starts to crack. Good for tons of Legos, too! Good way to reuse!

I feel like Blue Bell’s Milk chocolate flavor is one of its weaker flavors (although not bad ofc). The one we always used to get was “Dutch Chocolate” which I think is a little richer. Most of Blue Bell’s other flavors are fantastic tho!

I agree with your assessment of Breyers ice cream. It has become one of the worst name-brand ice creams out there. That being said, I remember Breyers back in the late 70s and early 80s. THAT was some reeaallyy good ice cream! However, the stock-holders wanted more profit, so the product went down the tubes.

Mayfield is far and away the best ice cream brand I've ever had.

Several years ago Brookshire's Grocery Stores in Texas dropped Blue Bell for thier store brand, and their Ice cream sales dropped by 60%. So they went back to selling Blue Bell.

I was today years old when I learned that Dreyer’s Ice Cream is called Edy’s in the South

Great video as they all are. You are a riot. Wanted to say, quitters and heathens, they don't finish a pint of Ben & Jerry's in one sitting.

I've never seen Milk Chocolate Blue Bell before, and I'm almost as old as Matt. Their default chocolate has always been the Dutch Chocolate.

As someone who is in fact lactose intolerant, I can say that we do in fact like ice cream. We’ve just gotten to a point where we don’t really care 🤷🏼‍♀️

People still ate Blue Bell when they had a chance of getting listeria from it. That's all you need to know right there.

You set my siri off. I thought a demon was casting spells behind me

I swear, Matt must be one of the most fun dudes just to hang around with. He seems like the biggest teddy bear sometimes.

I'm from Texas....never heard of Mayfield Ice Cream. Grew up on Blue Bell and have been to the factory in Brenham a few times.

Anyone else ever have an Easter egg hunt “basket” using that plastic bucket as a child? Or took it to the strawberry field?

Matt: I feel like the cow’s name is Betsy Twitter: how come they have to be female Me: I, like most people, have no desire to consume “bull milk”

Also don’t forget to judge ice cream on brickeness, nobody wants to spend 3 minutes trying to get 1 tiny scoop of cement.

I saw the Edy’s ice cream and said “isn’t that Dryer’s ice cream?” I’m from Utah.

Bless your rank has kind of become “let’s see how close we can get to killing Matt”...

seeing that brick style packaging was a major nostalgia trip. being 8 years old on summer break eating cheap icecream.

Matt, thanks for taking one for the team!!

Tillamook's selection has been growing in my local store, and dang do they make some good ice cream. Definitely give them a try if you haven't before!

I used have to get Blue Bell to ship ice cream to me in Tennessee. I grew up going to the factory as a kid. Their good stuff isn't their chocolate. It's their Vanilla Bean and Rocky Road. Their Butter Pecan is transcendent.

Thank you so much for putting this video up. LOL! My other half declared this morning after watching this, that we need to do some research on Mayfield Ice Cream to see weather it really is better than bluebells. That's my homework while he's at work...to find out where to get some Mayfield...

re. Mayfield's cow's name: 2015 - Maggie the Cow, the Official Mascot since the 1970s, becomes the spokescow to promote limited edition flavors. Maggie is also a fixture in the community and attends local events.

When I was a child and we had birthday parties and other types of parties involving ice cream it would always be the clear bucket. My family used them as Tupperware.

The leaf is because Breyers used to be all natural when it was still a family owned company. It used to be delicious then after it was sold by the family, the taste definitely changed 😒

Remember that summer filled w/bitterness & No Blue Bell? Never again. Now I know Mayfield is an option. 😍

This is some of the best content on RU-vid! Thanks. Just take care of yourself bud

This Texas girl loves Blue Bell. Dutch chocolate is the way to go.

The company's two signature brands, Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream and Edy's Grand Ice Cream, are named after its founders, William Dreyer and Joseph Edy. The Dreyer's brand is sold in the Western United States and Texas, while the Edy's brand is sold in the Eastern and Midwestern United States. Adding to this so no one else makes the same comment. Dreyer's and Edy's are both owned by Nestle, and Breyers by Unilever, both huge European food corporations. Breyers started on the east coast and expanded west; Dreyer's - in the opposite direction.

I LOVE ice cream after years of buying many different brands I have to say that the absolute best is my homemade in my new ice cream maker. It was an expensive purchase, but I am now making my own every week.

You missed Turkey Hill brand. Great selection of flavors and the "Trio-politan" with dark chocolate, milk chocolate with fudge ripple and Dutch chocolate with chocolate chips is killer. Add one more brand of ice cream to try.... Almost as good as Mayfield!

"You know you've made it to adulthood, when you get excited about a bucket". No truer words have ever been spoken in a Bless Your Rank video.

How do you get blue bell ice cream but not get the Dutch chocolate??? You got the milk chocolate and that just hurts my heart

THANK YOU MATT!!! THANK YOU FOR NOT BITING DOWN ON THE ICE CREAM WITH YOUR FRONT TEETH!!! I was actually able to watch this!!!

Made me wonder, "What is in the freezer?" Now I want ice cream and will have too accept what I have, no matter where it ranked. Good video Matt.

I’m laughing so hard at “makes me wanna put a coexist sticker on a Subaru” 😂😂😂

We get the old fashioned ice cream and then keep the buckets for when we bbq and put the cooked meats in them lol

I think you should do blind taste tests as knowing the brands can influence judging. I still enjoyed this and all of your other videos. Keep 'em comin'

Yay Matt! I can't believe you got through that many brands of Ice Cream! WOW the tub ice cream brings back childhood memories in Oklahoma for me--Chocolate Fudge Swirl. I miss that! I think that flavor would have ranked a bit better than last.

Truth: "You know you've made it to adulthood when you get excited about a bucket."

i love matts excitement every time he ranks desserts lol

having these be melted probably had something to do with the 'creaminess"

OMG! You had me screaming! Eating ice cream outside! Slayed me! Lol

Come to Texas. HEB's Creamy Creations is top notch. Also, Blue Bell Dutch Chocolate is the way to go. I've never heard of their milk chocolate flavor before.

"Some of you may just want the clear bucket..." I feel attacked 😐

Can we bring the blind fold judging back! I loved the bbq video!

When Matt said, "it makes me want to put a Coexist sticker on a Subaru" I had to pause and recover from my laughing fit.

does anyone else remember having a stack of the empty buckets growing up?

We need Matt to rank things he wouldn't normally be into.. like the "not real" ice cream brands. 😄

Love these!

I'm sitting in the Wells ice cream trailer lot working on trailers while watching this lmao

It's great how he loved blue bunny & then hated blue bunny within a span of 30 seconds. 😂😂

You should have tried HEB's Creamy Creations ice cream. As a native Texan, I do love Blue Bell but Creamy Creations is hella delish.

For those with Gluten and/or lactose issues... So Delicious makes ice cream (Yogurt and ice cream bars, etc...) and it is really good. If you like coconut milk, you'll love it more.

Haagen Dazs is my favorite brand, followed by Double Rainbow (a local brand), then, Ben & Jerry’s.

Icecream is the reason I refuse to get in shape. I won't give up icecream. I can't do it.

“Talking like Scrooge McDuck” 😂🤣 I love this series and Matt is perfection!

As a Vermonter you have hurt my soul with Ben & Jerry ranting that is the best

‘Makes you want to put a COEXIST sticker on a Subaru’. One of Matt’s best lines ever!!

"You know you've made it to adulthood when you get excited about a bucket." For some reason, that reminded me of the most valuable item in the Legend of Zelda--the empty bottle. Lol

You have to try dutch chocolate Blue Bell. That was milk chocolate which is my favorite, but to fairly compare it you need "regular" chocolate.

Just found your channel .Mayfield comes in different packaging here in Florida .Like an oval cardboard container with lid.And we carry Tillmook icecream here too.

Blue Bunny makes awesome cherry chocolate chunk and bunnytracks and fudge brownie. Their other flavors are delicious

The editor went really hard on this one and I love it

Blue Bunny ice cream is good, but it's so expensive; so maybe that is why it sat in the store long enough to get freezer burn.

Best show ever, now I know what to buy this weekend.

I can't get enough of seeing this guy lose his grip on the tub of Häagen-Dazs ice cream. All kidding aside, I really enjoy watching your videos. The sound effects and the voice alterations are too cool.
