Le Murca

As a French, the fact that no white flag was mentioned in these comments like it would have inevitably on reddit shows the quality of the chaps in here.

France has shown themself to be made of much sterner stuff in the last couple decades then the stereotypes and jokes like to make out. I mean that's not going to stop the English from making fun of France, but they still have nobility like this was 1650 or something.
- Last couple decades? There historically the most winningest military of all time bar none.
- The French have always been pretty strong. I don't know what history you read, but they've pretty consistently had one of the strongest militaries in the world. Sure, they surrendered quickly on WWII, but the people kept fighting even then when their government was occupied. They were one of the first nations to aid the United States also and have always been pretty active.
  Is this all good? Idk. Besides resisting the Nazis after the occupation, I would very much argue much of this is bad (or at best self-serving). It's nation-state shit. It's never out of marality. They're strong though.
- The English were assroped by the French Normans that they had to rename many common foodstuffs.
- Wait what fuck the nobility no matter what country
- France has shown themself to be made of much sterner stuff in the last couple decades
  WDYM? France has been participating in plenty of undeclared, unofficial and gray zone wars practically since WWII till now.
  the stereotypes and jokes like to make out
  These change with time. Most of European history the stereotypic image of French people was much tougher than that of Germans.
  After 1971 - yeah. Interwar - no. After that - again yes.
  EDIT: 1871
Liberté, égalité, fraternité. The Americans learned it from you lot. Might do them well to remember.
- Wasn't the American revolution like a decade before the French one?
Y'all fight in the streets better than us. We've got no leg to stand on.
You sure wouldn't hear that from me. French forces have been badass for a long time.
- I don't really care about glorifying past military victories but rather about the fact that the white flag internet meme appeared when the French government refused to follow the USA into Irak War II. https://edition.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/meast/03/07/villepin.transcript/
Fun fact: the white flag of surrender became widely known in Europe because people were surrendering to the French.
Way to ruin it.

FROZEN DAIRY DESSERT

Yum, I love air, gums, and stabilizers in my dairy desserts

I'm fine with the air part. There's air in all kinds of whipped desserts.
- depends whether the price reflects it or it's an attempt to trick you into paying more for less
- yeah, but they call them "shakes".
  "shakes", heh. don't know what you're gunna get.
Yep, screw Breyer’s. They legally cannot call it ice cream.
I looked into making my own ice cream once and had to realize, that practically any store bought ice cream must contain at least some, because my homemade ice cream immediately melted and was impossible to keep im a freezer…

Something about the colors makes me feel like this ice cream is full of TRANS fats.

I just really need to point out that no where on this product is it called ice cream. It's a frozen dairy product.
It really bothers me that they're allowed to slap whatever bullshit in an ice cream container, and as long as it's called anything else in the fine print, the fact that we all assume it's ice cream is on US.
- From the United States Code of Federal Regulations:
  § 58.2825 United States Standard for ice cream.
  (a) Ice cream shall contain at least 1.6 pounds of total solids to the gallon, weigh not less than 4.5 pounds to the gallon, and contain not less than 20 percent total milk solids, constituted of not less than 10 percent milkfat. In no case shall the content of milk solids not fat be less than 6 percent. Whey shall not, by weight, be more than 25 percent of the milk solids not fat.
  It continues on in that fashion, but if I'm honest I see this as the system working correctly. The food in that carton likely doesn't meet the legal, technical definition of ice cream and thus cannot be labeled as such, and it isn't. There are things that are labelled as ice cream in Europe which cannot be labelled as such here because they don't conform to the above standards. But if you were served a scoop of it and asked what it was, you would confidently identify it as ice cream.
  I'll tell you what does bother me though: The front of the package and a marketing blurb on their website refers to it as vanilla, strawberry and blueberry flavored, but the ingredients are listed as:
  INGREDIENTS: SKIM MILK, CORN SYRUP, SUGAR, CREAM, FRUCTOSE, STRAWBERRIES, WATER, COCONUT OIL, WHEY, LESS THAN 2% OF: MONO AND DIGLYCERIDES, GUAR GUM, NATURAL FLAVOR, BEET JUICE (FOR COLOR), CAROB BEAN GUM, TARA GUM, SPIRULINA EXTRACT (FOR COLOR), ANNATTO (FOR COLOR), VITAMIN A PALMITATE. CONTAINS MILK
  Vanilla and blueberries are not listed among the ingredients. I'm guessing whatever wood pulp derived vanillin that most of the vanilla flavored things in the world are actually flavored by is included in the "natural flavor" and we're left to guess where any "bold blueberry deliciousness" is supposed to come from.
  I've long thought they shouldn't be allowed to put "natural flavor" as an ingredient as that is too vague, what if there is a "natural flavor" you are allergic to? What if that "natural flavor" is cat smegma?
- Blaming the person being lied to instead of the liar is kind of BS.
  It's on the company and the FDA which was literally created to stop this kind of nonsense and abandonded its duties decades ago.

🌎🧑‍🚀🔫🧑‍🚀🇫🇷

Always has been

Nonsense, it's clearly Luxembourg.

It's spelled Luxemburg.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luxemburg,_Wisconsin
- Home to a Belgian-American community; not to be confused with Belgium, Wisconsin, home to a Luxembourgish-American community.
Nonsense, this is murica. Brown and blue is clearly separated from white
- Americans on their way to be so racist towards the blue skinned people that other countries don't even know about them
Nonsense. It's a washed out Dutch flag.
- Nonsense it's Netherlands flag in portrait mode.

Also, don't forget that Captain America is actually Captain Puerto Rico.

Just the United States acknowledging its debt to General LaFayette.

Nobody expects the French inquisition??

Nobody expects the Science Inquisition

Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité. Wait, that's France. Murica is just Liberté. And only for rich.

I disagree, there is also Fraternité in America. If you are rich and white enough for a gated community. Don't expect Egalité though, the Karen (M/F, don't expect any other genders to be allowed) in charge of the HOA won't stand for that.

Louisiana

The image on the cover be like: No shit, Sherlock.

scOOPS, all French people!

I can't ever remember if Breyers or Dreyers is the shitty one, so I always just buy Tillamook or Blue Bell.

Breyers is the shitty one, you can tell because they can't legally call it "Ice Cream". It is a "Frozen Dairy Dessert" as you can see on the packaging.
Breyers is good. Tillamook and Blue Bell are still better though.
- Breyers USED to be good.
  I just pointed it out under a different comment, but this isn't actually ice cream. It's a frozen dairy product, because they have fucked up the ingredients so much to cut down on cost they can't call it ice cream anymore.
  Unilever bought it and fucked it up.
- i haven't heard of any of those apart from breyers and breyers isn't very good on my region at least. feels whipped into frozen foam to fill the container with like a quarter of the product, the only one other than nestle that gives me a mouth full of air and a teaspoon of liquid every bite that melts. If I don't let it melt it feels like I swallowed air after what would be over indulging by volume but not weight.
- I was very unimpressed by Tillamook when I tried it cause I thought it was supposed to be good. I'm also not a fan of Blue Bell.
Dreyer's is the legit one, though capitalism is starting to work it's way in. (1.41L now instead of 1.66L; same price)

At least they didn't make it white-blue-red

I think that's on the Project 2025 agenda
That can be arranged, comrade. Just cut off the red and place it next to the blue!

Germany and Italy would like to have a word.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neapolitan_ice_cream

Please leave us out this, we don't wish to be associated with this "product"
- Coming from a murrikan, you're not to blame. It got it's designation from the ignorant/self-absorbed and likely drunk/cracked-out murrikans in the 1800's. (they're not as common, but they are still around here)
  The wiki article actually enlightens that it was a German creation, but they decided to swap the better tasting pistachio section with strawberry. (which completely changed the flavor profile)
This isn't Neapolitan. It has something blue instead of chocolate.
- Looks like the label says blueberry

Vive la révolution!

Vive la surgélation !

Cor gov! ‘Assa union jack i’ is

I thought Union Jacks were more... asterisky.
- Less starsy, more barsy.
- Maybe not asterisky, but that ice cream is definitely Asterixy.
- No*
  (*actually yes)

Isn't that the Bi-gender Pride Flag?

Closer to trans. Bi is just pink and purple. Trans flag is white, pale blue and pink. Like your avatar.
- bigender, not bisexual
  There's apparently a lot of bigender flags, but the original version per that site does match the ice cream

Oh the irony lol. 🤣

This ice cream is jokingly called "Le Tricolore" in Denmark. You just can't serve a simple "three coloured ice-cream" in a gourmet meal.

This specific ice cream -- strawberry, vanilla, blueberry?
'Cause there are other three-color/three-flavor ice creams, and they all have different names: "neapolitan" is vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, and "spumoni" is cherry, pistachio and chocolate, for example.
- The one we call "trefarvet is" in Denmark is usually the one otherwise known as Neapolitan.
  Could be any of the combinations, though, given that it literally just means "three-colored ice cream" 🤷
- No, the most common is strawberry, vanilla & chocolate, but it's still nicknamed after the French flag.
  Attempts have been made to label it as "rainbow ice", which is stupid because neither brown, white or pink are present in a rainbow.
Funny, it's called "Fürst-Pückler-Eis" in German, which sounds way fancier than it actually is.
- I hate to break it to you, but sounding like "First Pucker Ice" does not sound fancy. I'm not sure it can get less fancy in fact.
- Huh, it actually makes a lot more sense than the English name, since it's named after the guy who invented it. Americans named it after Naples, Italy because the colors originally resembled the Italian flag.

From another perspective it could be ‘Murica

From another perspective it could be The Netherlands.

Ok those three flavors are on point though

would it really be that difficult to just make a blue rectangle in the corner, and fill the rest with like 5 red/white stripes?

It would be a more interesting mix in terms of flavor too.

Uh excuse it is easy to understand

Red, White, Blue

Done. 🇺🇸🦅🥧🏈🚀

Here's something I learned from the 2005 feature film "Lord of War" starring Nicholas Cage:
That flag is now Dutch.
- It’s supposed to be a joke ¯ (ツ)_/¯

*too much of a social dipshit to understand a tub of ice crème can rotate

That just makes it the netherlands, but its understandable that americans dont know flags of other nations
- Also, it doesn't make it the American flag in any way, so this person apparently doesn't know what any of those three flags look like.
- second oldest current flag in existence
- Red, white, and blue are the colors of the American flag. (As many other countries, but we specifically refer to our colors in that order.) It didn't say the ice cream looked like an American flag. Yes, when it is displayed blue, white, and red it looks like a French flag. When rotated it goes red, white, and blue which Americans associate with our flag.
  Also, it would have to be rotated a quarter turn to be Dutch: red on top, white in the middle, blue on the bottom. But I wouldn't expect you to know European flags
