Your story by Jessica Feder, 10 best vanilla ice creams is very, very one sided. One person can't decide. Companies have a variety of people that form their test panel. Companies did this quite often before covid. I think it has just about stopped.

I was raised on ice cream. When our family sat down to have ice cream for dessert we did not use an ice cream scoop. We sat around the table with a pint, quart or 1/2 gallon and used spoons. Scoops are for whimps.

I will be glad to be part of a panel. I think Jessica was a little biased in her findings, plus it seemed more like an opportunity to sell ice cream related products.
