We all know that ice cream will melt if not eaten fast enough or put in the freezer right away. Welllllll, unless you buy it from Walmart.
WCPO Cincinnati reported that a local mom, Christie Watson, noticed that the Great Value Ice Cream Sandwich her son was eating was left outside on her patio and it did not melt!
It had been outside for 12 hours on an 80 degree day. Watson, curious, left a second ice cream sandwich outside overnight with the same results.
“Ice cream melts based on the ingredients, including cream,” Walmart spokeswoman Danit Marquardt said in an email. “Ice cream with more cream will generally melt at a slower rate, which is the case with our Great Value ice cream sandwiches.”
According to Walmart’s website, the ice cream sandwiches contain milk, cream, buttermilk, sugar, whey, and corn syrup. It also contains “1 percent or less of mono-and diglycerides, vanilla extract, guar gum, calcium sulfate, carob bean gum, cellulose gum, carrageenan, artificial flavor, and annatto for color.”
