I talked to the owner of a chocolate dipped key like pie stand who said they used Publix pies because they were one of the closest to the original pie recipe from the late 20's early 30's
I'm trying to talk him into doing the frozen family meals, GV vs brand name. Especially though.. Stouffer's quality has gone way down but there are some fairly good GV ones. Get on the bus with me!! lol. This is a BYR that we need!!
@alostrich I think you need to do both @skippy1071 & @beckyhobson3283 ideas. I love Brenda Gantt & her recipes, but cooking is not my reality. Cookbooks & recipes are fascinating, but not likely to happen at my house.
I agree about Edwards pie, especially because it's so easy to take a few to family gatherings (with paper plates and plasticware). I know, I know.....😉
I currently have an Edwards key lime pie in the fridge. Yeah, compared to home made it isn't as good, but it is by far the best store bought frozen key lime pie you can get.
Hey Matt! The BEST frozen Key Lime Pie is one can of Minute Maid frozen Limeade concentrate added to one 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk and 8 oz of Cool Whip mixed gently together and poured into a graham cracker crust pie shell (or two if you want to add whipped cream to the top- don't fill as high) and freeze. Abso-freekin-lutely scrumptious! Easy and way cheaper.
I've seen that guy on the Blue Bell Fudge Bar box all my life, and I'm nearly 40. I can't remember a time when he wasn't on that damn box. Him being on that box is just a fact of life to me, like water is wet.
I feel like if they only have a Great Value version it'll be good. If they have GV and a Sam's Choice -- the GV will be terrible and the Sam's Choice will be good.
Pretty much *all* store brand/knockoff groceries are like Russian Roulette. Sometimes you luck into the "nearly indistinguishable" popsicle jackpot, sometime you're hit with the "key lime pie" Whammy
You're hilarious. My family appreciates your humor and has for a while now. That said, I don't think I can ever recall a moment when I thought, "You know, I bet that Matt smells great. I wonder what he uses and if I could get some of that on the cheap?" I always assumed you'd smelled like Yoo-hoo and fried chicken, with a hint of regret, or Little Debbies, to the extent those two differ...Now I just don't know. Edwards pie? My grandma would smack you for your kind word there, but she's gone and I'm hungry, so I'll leave it with a knowing nod. Keep up the good work.
But it is a nasty ass tart taste. And you can make one yourself using real ingredients for a few dollars more so frankly it is not worth wasting your money on. With already made pie crusts and bottled juices its so much easier to make homemade stuff these days. I still prefer making my own crusts and squeezing my own juices so my age is showing on that one. My mama dropped a Betty Crocker cookbook on the table in front of me when I was a kid and complained about one of her meals. She told me "don't like it. Learn to make it yourself." So I did.
I was gonna say. Real key lime pie is tart. Most the frozen pies they go overboard with sugar to try to appeal to the masses. My great aunt used to live down there and had a tree in her back yard. She would mail us key limes and we used to make pies when I was a kid. BTW the GV key lime pie is great.
Matt, please do blind taste test on all bless your ranks. It would be so interesting to see what order they are in when you don't know which one you are tasting.
You're a trip. I found you doing SEC videos. That one where you were explaining it cracked me up. I loved the one where you were talking about mascots and said Kentucky didn't get respect. I shared that in my Kentucky groups. Looking forward to SEC basketball. I love these comparison videos. You're hysterical, probably not always completely sober. Thanks for comparing name brands to store brands.
I freakin love ice cream sandwiches. I use the great value brand to make ice cream "cakes" during the summer. 2 boxes of the minis (they stack/line up better without having to trim down the size) a thin layer of homemade butter cream to lock them together and one more layer of minis with a healthy amount of butter cream on top. Trouble is keeping them frozen while you're working with them. You gotta put it back in the freezer about half way through assembly. You can add oreos, sprinkles, whatever you want.
@@catherinegarmon3027 omg I personally would love that, but not everyone who attends a get-together likes coffee. Specifically, my husband. I was unaware of this information when I fell in love with him.
Great Value ice cream novelties are made by Wells' Dairy, the makers of Blue Bunny ice cream. In many instances they are the same exact recipe for both brands.
I have 10 great-grandkids who love ice cream sandwiches, so Great Value is the only option. BONUS: You can get a box of 16 Mini Sandwiches for $2.88 that is the perfect size for them.

@@foxguy81 when you start talking about Hitler being wrongfully portaid as evil because his war methods "benefited millions of future people" you may have a screw loose. Also murder victims being a result of their higherself being curious of what murder is like is absolute insanity.
A deciding factor should also be how many ounces/grams you get. Great value might be a better buy until you realize you get 50% of the product too (and vice versa). You might actually be paying MORE for less of an inferior product.
The Great Value drumsticks / ice cream cones are indistinguishable for me, except the GV have cone crumble pieces instead of crushed peanuts on top (which isn't necessarily a bad thing)!
They actually have 2-3 types of cones for GV. peanuts, cookie crumble, and Idr if I've seen the cone topping before. In my opinion, they're all good. Lol
@@Waterpassion actually, I'm talking about the peanut ones... They do have some crumbled peanuts, but also have crumbled bits that I'm fairly sure are cone crumble pieces.
Check out the ingredients on Great Value ice cream in the sandwiches. Almost identical to Breyers. The reason ice cream melts quickly is because it has been pumped full of air, to hide product shrinkage. The Great Value containers of ice cream are very good, better than any name brand with the exception of Tillamook. The filled cones are bigger and better. Their pasta sauce is almost as clean as Rao's. The cookies are better than name brand, using tempered chocolate which takes time and knowledge verses what most do instead, adding wax to their chocolate. Frozen "fancy" green beans far better than major brands. Sara Lee makes their bread and coffee, Conagra some of their sausages and flours. Kellogg's makes their Great Value cereal. Ziplock makes their store brand bags. Sadly, I had no choice but to check all of these out when our stores were out of everything during the virus height.
We’ve been following your food recommendations recently. Mayfield’s ice cream is great! I think it tastes richer because there’s more vanilla in it. It might be artificial or real, but it works. For us, it’s all about the vanilla.
Please, please.. after the new baby gets here and after the holidays... work with your wife on doing family frozen dinners GV vs Name brand. She's gonna have to cook them for you.. lol. We've noticed lately that Stouffer's frozen dinners are going way down in quality and several of the GV frozen dinners are great. I think it would be a good comparison.
The chocolate wafers on an ice cream sandwich are my favorite part, by far. I still go with GV. BB may be twice the price but it ain't twice the good. 👍
You nailed it. As a native Floridian, how dare you say a frozen lime flavored pie is a key lime pie! Haha, just havn’ fun, loved the video. SEC FB is just around the corner, can’t wait. Go Gators!
Great Value Butter Pecan Ice Cream is actually the best Butter Pecan I’ve ever had but the rest of their Ice Cream is below average quality. FYI I was a WalMart Employee and Stocked Frozen foods every day.
12:11 You can get a 1 pound slice of key lime pie cheesecake at Tortugas Restaurant in Flagler Beach FL (hint, hint). From one Bama boy to another, you won't regret it, but make sure you hop on down to "The Turtle Shack" and grab you some of them "Prime Fries".
