Comments on: LOWERING THE PRICE OF TURKEY HILL ICE CREAM http://icecreamjournal.turkeyhill.com/index.php/2009/04/07/lowering-the-price-of-turkey-hill-ice-cream/ Welcome to the Ice Cream Journal! Here you’ll find a collection of thoughts and stories about ice cream as well as a glimpse inside the ice cream making process at Turkey Hill Dairy. We'll also be updating our blog several times each week, so feel free to stop by often.

Not only have the containers shrunk, but I am certain they are pumping more air into their ice cream than ever before. It's true that some types of ice cream use more air than others. This air takes up room, which means that it takes less ice cream mixture to fill the container, which means it costs less. The space taken up by air is called the overrun. In the United States, up to half of a container of ice cream can be air and I'm sure Turkey Hill is one of those companies that takes full advantage of this. I recently switched to Shurfine brand ice cream and it has Turkey Hill beat in both quantity and quality. It is a true half gallon and you can tell when you pick it up that it is not full of air. The ice cream is denser, but very creamy and delicious! I would love to know who makes Shurfine's ice cream. It's terrific!

And your customers are STUPID enough to think that you're GIVING them something? Good for you, Quintin! You're a crook and a thief and you're robbing your customers blind and you didn't even need a gun. Your grandfather is probably spinning in his grave. Why the ten cent discount? Easy, because SOME customers, like myself and the other customers with a brain, buy any ice that's on sale these days and are no longer loyal to the crooks at Turkey Hill and Turkey Hill is sweating their dropping sales. Simple, no? Simple, yes. Go ahead, delete my comments. I'm sure this fits with your new company censorship guidelines.

A ten cent decrease which the consumer will likely not see is an insult. I have been enjoying Harris Teeter and Wegmans ice cream. In my opinion, they value their customers more than turkey Hill.

Thank you. Thank you. I find this entry really nice. I don't care it's only 10 cents. It's the fact that Turkey Hill isn't just thinking about themselves and hopefully in the end this will impact the bottom line in a positive way via more sales. I will only buy ice cream at X price or below (Turkey Hill or not) despite my desire for Turkey Hill. Times are tough. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I find this entry really nice.

I find that they thaw faster on the way home and I now only but 1 - once in a while - instaed of having 2 or 3 in the freezer. They take up too much space for the small size. I guess I am protesting the reduction in size - whatever. One of your competitors sells a gallon plastic container. I wish it were square, though... and it goes on sale at about $7. I can multiply and divide and consider the price per gallon. If the poor can't afford a whole half-gallon, they shouldn't buy ice cream - what are we, stupid? I will not buy the small containers like I used to - until they regain their full 64 ounce size. Sorry! I hate the smaller “Half-Gallons” and I think they are too small.

The local stores have TH on sale at 2/$6.00 for 1.5 qts. and I can buy other brands (of very similar quality, if not equal) for $2.89 - 3.29 for a HALF GALLON (2 quarts) (and some of that is shipped in from the Midwest) Now granted, I'm no rocket scientist, but even at 2/$6, a 1.5 qt. container is NOT such a good deal,(I think that's about $4 a half gallon, but then again, I went to college up the road from your dairy, so my math might not be my strongest point), and, in case you haven't noticed, we are in a recession here in Pennsylvania, so most of us need to squeeze every penny out of our paycheck. Also, since the dairy farmers are getting about 1/2 the price per hundred weight for their milk as they were not all that long ago, so you can't blame it all on the farmers. OK, I feel better now - I just hope you don't start cutting the quality of the product the same way you've been cutting down on the size to keep the price low.

Is the one market making a huge profit? I refuse to buy there unless it's a really good sale (like BOGO). I'd rather go out of my way!

However, good move on your part. Now the but part. I bet a lot of customers realized that when you shrunk the 1/2 gallon (64 ounces) down to 1.5(48 ounces),(which is not a 1/2 gallon Tony) that you indeed raised the price. We are now getting a smaller size for the same price. So in fact the price did go up. If you made the size 3/4 of a gallon and kept the half gallon price, then the price would be reduced. There are a lot of smart consumers out there who know exactly what I am saying. Do you realize how many of us want the 1/2 gallon back, and are willing to pay a little extra for it if need be? I wish you would break away from the rest and make a stand, and go back to the 1/2 gallon container. You said that you took a pole about raising the price, or shrinking the container. You said that the people wanted a smaller container. Have you read the Blog's? People are demanding the return of the 1/2 gallon container. So I do not know who your census taker was. Maybe he or she came from Florida after the elections! I hate telling my kid to go and pick out a 1.5 litre of Ice Cream! When did we go to the metric system? Are we in Canada?

I have not been happy every since you decreased from the 1/2 gallon size. I would rather have the bigger size than the 10 cent discount. In fact, my purchase amount of ice cream has greatly decreased since you made the packages smaller. you should have stuck with the traditional 1/2 gallon!

Since Turkey Hill is one of the only ice cream makers that even have luscious Lemon ice cream, I hope LEMON DUETTE wins an award for most original. I beg friends to scope out the ice cream sections of their grocery stores to find it since it's hard to find in upstate NY. Maybe TH will increase production since we've probably bought the entire east coast production. Not that any one buys ice cream at stands anymore, but if you happen upon an ice cream palor that says they have 100's of flavors, just for fun, see if they have a lemon flavor. Bet it's hard to find Lemon ice cream but heck, why bother- just pick up a TH LEMON DUETTE and you'll be singing in the Summertime anytime.
