talking industry by Janice Gallagher
Bassetts: Some things have changed for this famous ice cream
maker. Not quality.
"It's true that much has changed but, fortunately not
everything has been sacrificed in the name of progress. The
one thing that has not been changed and is in fact the reason
for Bassetts great success and longevity is simple: rich cream,
sweet milk, pure cane sugar, and flavorings such as real vanilla
bean, and fresh strawberries and peaches." |
