  • In this episode of 'Price Points', Epicurious challenges ice cream expert Jeni Britton Bauer to guess which one of two ice creams is more expensive. Jeni breaks down vanilla ice cream, chocolate ice cream, strawberry ice cream, coffee ice cream, mint chocolate chip ice cream, and birthday cake ice cream. For each flavor, Jeni looks at, smells, and taste tests before guessing which ice cream costs more. Once the prices are revealed, she explains why.

    • @annemontgomery3890
      @annemontgomery3890 5 лет назад +108

      That's not air, though. It's a noble gas (which doesn't interact with flavor, while air does) they use to inflate the bag and keep the chips intact. They used to sell potato chips in tin cans; you don't want to try those after a week.

    • @rohitghali
      @rohitghali 5 лет назад +24

      They can make the bag small and put in less noble gas. But they intentionally make a huge packet with more air than chips. Don't try to justify their scam...

    • @ThePointblank
      @ThePointblank 5 лет назад +108

      @@rohitghali I've worked in food manufacturing. The reason why there's so much air in a bag of chips is to reduce the likelihood of all of the chips being crushed under their own weight during transportation. The extra gas is there to act as a cushion to prevent your potato chips from turning into potato crumbs.

    • @stfulosersrigbone
      @stfulosersrigbone 5 лет назад +44

      It's Nitrogen not air, (although nitrogen makes up 78% of air). It's added so chips don't oxidize in the bag and become stale.

    I think sometimes food experts can be sort of snobbish when it comes to their area of expertise. I really like that she kept on repeating that it's all about personal preference, that the more expensive ice cream isn't always the best (and sometimes not even the best quality), and that it's about what you're looking for in an ice cream. As someone who just discovered how amazing Walmart brand ice cream can be (at $2 a carton) I can completely relate!

    I really quite enjoyed this one, this lady is professional without being pretentious, and notes that individual tastes may differe from what you'd expect comparatively to the common concept that more expensive = automatically better. Ice cream is something that I've always loved, just because the blank canvas of cream and sugar(flavor wise) can be transformed into basically anything that someone might want to, even if as we've learned from Iron Chef, maybe some flavor combinations aren't such a fantastic idea even if they are creative.

      Fun fact: Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, creators of Ben & Jerry's, didn't initially plan on going into the ice cream business. They knew they wanted to open a food business together, but only settled on ice cream after they learned that bagel-making equipment was too expensive for them to afford. Other fun fact: the reason Ben & Jerry's relies on mixed in ingredients so much is because Ben Cohen has severe anosmia (he can't smell, which is a big part of taste), and as such had a strong preference for textural contrast in his food.

    • @bananabyter
      @bananabyter 5 лет назад

      Well, higher quality ice cream usually means more expensive ingredients. To create a solid business you should be making more than you're spending (I think that's kind of obvious, but whatever), so, to cover the more expensive ingredients, you would naturally charge more for your product. Plus, people will usually pay more for more well-made, more natural products rather than cheaply made, chemical-chalked products.

I try to pick out each section... especially strings, and listen to how all the parts weave together. My sister, however, claims that every piece sounds the same! Lol.

    She is one of the most informative experts ever in these series! What she says just fulfills my craving for information.

    This tasting with Jeni Britton Bauer is absolutely the best "Price Points" video you have done!! Fantastic! I love how she balanced the importance of a nostalgic flavor of ice cream against the qualities of a more expensive ice cream. She clearly demonstrated that a more expensive ice cream is not always the "best" ice cream and that having the flavors you remember as a kid can actually more satisfying. The knowledge of the complexities involved in making each different flavor (especially strawberry) was truly instructional. This was a difficult tasting but she excelled!! Her information about spiders and mint reinforced my dislike for mint. 😂

      Yeah, but that's just because you don't like the flavor of spider. 😏
