- There's no lactaid in the world for this today.
We're just gonna go full send and like, pray
and whatever happens, happens.
We are gathered here today
to try all the Good Humor ice cream that is for sale.
We have the super, super classics
and we have some of the new limited edition releases.
I'm tenderly, caressing, and staring at the Viennetta.
This is possibly the worst shoot we could do
for someone who's lactose intolerant
but I really don't give a (bleep sound).
'Cause this is all going to be like,
pure childhood nostalgia,
not just for me, but for all of you.
I mean, this is like,
this is after school ice cream truck,
walking home from school
with a few quarters in your pocket
and buying a bunch of these.
I hope the Good Humor ice cream from my childhood
that I really fondly think about still holds up today,
because those are precious memories, those are priceless.
We're starting with the Viennetta.
This has been in the UK for a very long time
and it was discontinued in the US, until this year.
So that was 30 years with no ice cream cake,
which is really sad.
It says it's made for sharing and look it has like,
me, husband, mom, dad.
When actuality it's like, me, later in the evening me.
I mean it does come on a serving tray
and just by looking at it,
it looks like it's frozen cool whip.
I've never had this one.
I do have to say it's really soft ice cream.
Like, it really reminds me of,
if you've ever frozen cool whip and eaten it.
That's the consistency.
It looks really airy.
Oh wow.
Huh?
It's so crunchy and light and fluffy.
Can I get one more bite?
I thought it was gonna be chocolate wafers, like more cakey,
but it's more like a chocolate shell in the layers.
So it's hardened chocolate shells
and then like a cool whip.
How many brain freezes am I gonna have today?
Four? Five?
Okay, so this one just evaporates in your mouth.
It feels like it didn't even happen.
Like my stomach doesn't even,
it's not registering that there was anything put into it.
I don't know if the hype is worth it.
I do like that it's a softer ice cream though.
That is really nice.
If you brought this to a party,
everyone would be like,
they would, I mean, you could probably tell someone
that you made this yourself.
You could pretend, although everyone knows what this is, so.
I don't know if this is gonna be my favorite,
it's lacking like another texture,
or it needs more chocolate,
or it needs another flavor in there.
But, this is a good start.
It's a good start.
We have the chocolate eclair next
which has the signature cake coating on it.
And this was my favorite.
Like, just eating the coating,
I didn't even care about the ice cream.
The coating.
Oh God.
- Brain freeze and frozen teeth is the theme of the day.
- Aww.
I don't bite into ice cream.
I refuse to bite into ice cream.
My teeth are so sensitive and they're expensive.
My parents spend a lot of money on my teeth.
So, you have that chocolate ice cream on the inside
but I wouldn't even call it ice cream.
It truly is a frozen dairy.
It's Tootsie roll chocolate.
You know what, Tootsie roll chocolate is not quite,
it's not real chocolate, right?
It's not even milk chocolate, that's kind of what this is.
So it's like a watery chocolate.
Frozen, watery chocolate.
The crumb though, (bleep sound) amazing.
I will eat the crumb all day long.
Oh my God.
If they don't sell the crumb of this
in like a little container, they're missing out.
What is this one?
Okay. (gasp)
(laughing evilly)
It's a Pop-Tart one.
Brown sugar cinnamon Pop-Tart, Good Humor bar.
It looks like it's like, just chunks of brown sugar.
And the white part, it looks like the crust of a Pop-Tart.
Honestly, this is probably one of the better crossovers,
Pop-Tarts and ice cream.
This is freaky accurate for the Pop-Tart.
It tastes just like the brown sugar cinnamon Pop-Tart
that we've all loved
but that I did a taste test of, awhile last summer.
Wow.
- That's like a warm hug from your grandma.
- I wish we had this as kids.
I don't want to give it a 10 out of 10,
but very close to a 10 out of 10.
Creamsicle is one of the most classic, original flavors
that you can get from Good Humor.
But before I go into it, I have to tell you a fun fact
and that is that Good Humor was the first company
to come up with the ice cream on a stick.
Now, you know Popsicle,
which was the other brand that was trying
to do the same thing, a really similar time.
But theirs is like a sorbet fruit flavored
where this is dairy ice cream on a stick.
They started selling them and when they sold them
they started using a truck, an ice cream truck.
They were the first people to put something on a stick
and the first people to have an ice cream truck.
But when they made the ice cream truck
they made it this big white vehicle
and they made sure that all the men,
only men could serve the ice cream
for Good Humor until 1967.
All the men wore these really nice white,
clean, crisp uniforms.
And they saluted men and they tip their hat to women
because they were trying to make it like,
this is a clean, classy thing even though it's ice cream.
It's a really delicate orange flavor with the vanilla.
And it's such a thin shell of the orange.
Like, once you get into it's really that creamy,
soft vanilla flavor, which is my favorite.
When I used to be really irresponsible
of my drinking habits,
my favorite thing to do is like creamsicle shots.
Did you ever do it?
Where you take like whipped vodka and orange juice,
and you mix it together, you just chug it.
You can also make it an actual drink.
- Oh, God.
- My one complaint about these popsicles
is that they are such a softer ice cream that they do this.
They just break apart.
Which is great because when you're eating it
it's really easy to like actually bite into it.
Doesn't hurt your teeth 'cause it's not like,
it's not hard to do.
But, you have to eat it quickly.
This one's toasted almond
and you might have a hard time finding this one,
depending on the time of year,
because it is a very special one
but it's also one of their,
I believe it's one of their original flavors.
I love that you can actually see
little almond flakes on there.
Little coating, little crumbs.
I don't like anything almond flavored.
So this is not gonna go the way we want it to.
It is on par.
Like, it tastes like a non-alcoholic amaretto shot,
if that makes sense.
Super sweet, super like, I love the crunch.
- This is an adult flavor.
- Yeah, it's an adult,
I can't imagine a little kid eating that and enjoying it.
What I do have to say about all the ice cream bars
is how easy they are straight out of the freezer.
You can bite into them and they're already soft.
And that is some weird science that they did.
I don't want to know how they do it.
We have Dale Jr.
Like that looks pretty accurate.
I want to know like, how did they,
and they have a signature on here.
Which if you were trying to impersonate him,
now you have it from the ice cream sandwich.
Yeah. It's just like a vanilla cookie.
I am delighted to have this one.
This chocolate ice cream is better
than the chocolate we had in the chocolate eclair.
I don't know if they're the exact same
but this one feels more like ice cream
and less like icy chocolate.
The cookie is like those really cheap,
grocery store ice cream sandwiches.
You know it's good when it's getting stuck
to your finger like that.
It's really like it's a soggy cookie,
in the best of ways.
It's getting stuck to my tooth.
Ugh. I wish there was a way of selling cookies like this,
where it's just a really, really moist cookie.
That's amazing though.
I love the cookie on it.
No complaints.
We have our WWE superstars on our cookie sandwiches
and on the back we have John Cena,
which has face has (bleep sound) hole in it.
On the other one it did too.
Why do they keep putting holes in John Cena's face?
He looks like Jason Momoa.
So I'm gonna eat from his side
because he is my ultimate crush.
I would do anything for him.
It is so plain.
It's just, there's no sprinkles on it.
It's literally vanilla.
I love the cookie still.
Lots of great cookie happening here.
This is a very bland sandwich.
Blandwich, that's what I'm gonna call it.
Fun fact about Good Humor,
it was started during the great depression
and it did super well.
Like I think it was, they sold over,
it's either $14 million or 14 million product.
We will put something here to tell me which one it was.
So, they did really, really well during the great depression
because it was a cheap dessert.
And when you're in really terrible times,
like we are right now, what do you want?
You want something that's just super comforting
and isn't gonna break the bank.
Like, you're not gonna be able to go out to dinner
and get like a really nice dessert.
So, you have these really easy, cheap desserts.
You know, you can walk on the street with it.
It did very, very well.
Look, cookie.
It's moist and sticky, which I like.
It's a soggy cookie, right?
'Cause it reminds me of Chips Ahoy cookies,
where the actual chocolate chips are super tiny
and there's not that many of them actually.
Like, they make it look like there's a lot,
but very few far between.
I love the chocolate chips on the outside.
However, I have had much better cookiewiches.
I would say, I would give this like a 5 out of 10,
if I was rating these.
I think it's the cookie, honestly.
The ice cream, the chocolate chips are great.
Look, if he was made with like pace and animosity.
This ice cream, again,
is that frozen cool whip flavor to it.
Not flavor, actually, no, it does have the flavor
of frozen cool whip.
The texture is super malleable
and soft.
(bleep sound)
What is
the ice cream
in Good Humor.
- What is it?
- Okay, what?
Hm. Hm.
I don't know, might have to do more research.
If anyone knows what the type of ice cream
that they're using in the Good Humor cones
and the sandwiches that makes it so light, airy, and soft.
Please let us know in the comments below.
Out of all the ones that we tried so far
that one really does hit the spot.
You have that cone, you have the chocolate,
you have the peanuts, you have the ice cream.
It's just a well-balanced dessert.
I was gonna call it a meal, but a well-balanced dessert
but could always have more chocolate.
I think that's true for anything in life,
always add more chocolate.
In 1929,
the setting, it was a dark and stormy night in Chicago.
Good Humor had its second plant in Chicago.
In 1929, they opened their doors and they were like,
"Let's make ice cream."
Not so fast, the Chicago mob came in and was like,
"$5,000 for protection ice cream money or else."
And then Good Humor was like, "Nah."
So then the mob was like, "Okay."
And so the mob came in and burned down
the (bleep sound) Good Humor supply factory in Chicago.
Made national news, everyone was like,
"(bleep sound) it, the mob."
Anyways, made huge news
and basically is a huge part of Good Humor story, actually.
When you eat Good Humor ice cream think about the mob
and think about how they stood up against them
and refuse to pay the $5,000.
Which is $70,000 nowaday.
This is also one of their original bars,
their ice cream bars.
I think this is most people's favorite, right?
The color looks like Waba.
It looks like this really beautiful, bright pink,
kind of corral-y.
Oh, and it has that creamy flavor to it.
It's super fake strawberry,
but it's like freeze dried fake strawberries
with a little bit of vanilla.
This one's way better than the chocolate eclair one.
And I'm usually a chocolate girl.
This one is just like unmatched.
I love every part of this.
This can't go wrong.
We have the Reese's ice cream bar.
Oh man.
- Walk me through.
- There's nothing to walk you through.
Oh man.
It's such peanut butter mousse.
That's what it is.
It's very delicate and light to the touch.
And this has been in the freezer
and it's instantly melt and it's very mousse-y.
Okay. I have an idea for them.
Good Humor, if you're watching.
Make a Viennetta ice cream cake with the peanut butter one.
- Is this a 10 out of 10?
- It is closer that can get, but this is like a 9.8.
This one definitely.
Wow.
Incredible.
We have the Good Humor Oreo ice cream bar,
loaded with real Oreo cookie pieces.
Okay. That's yeah, that is Oreo madness all up on there.
Wow. That's the chocolate shell.
I'm not expecting that.
Okay. This is an Oreo McFlurry,
but the McFlurry has so airy and light,
that's really similar to this.
It tastes just like the McFlurry's
when the ice cream machine is ever working at McDonald's.
I think I like the Oreo one better than the peanut butter.
I don't know.
My biggest pet peeve when I get cookies and cream ice cream,
and it has like one little baby speck of cookie in it.
And you're sitting there like,
this is just vanilla ice cream with like a dollar upcharge
because you said there was cookies in it.
This is fully packed in there.
On the outside, on the inside, it's done the work.
- Are you glad that we did these two last?
- Very glad.
(bleep sound)
I am extremely pleased.
There was a moment of doubt that I had,
that this was gonna go downhill
because I wasn't super happy with some of them.
But this.
Keep these, never discontinue these.
If you discontinue these, I'm gonna fight.
That's all I have to say about it.
