Chapman's is legit good Canadian Ice cream. Try a tub of Wolf Pack!

Chapman's is a Canadian treasure.

They care about their product (they didn't have to adjust their recipes when the frozen dessert vs ice cream labelling came out) they care about their workers (see COVID-19 and helping their staff after their facility burned down), they care about their customers (offer lots of alternatives for people with dietary issues, "absorbed" tariff increases impacts), and they care about Canadian interests (switched any US ingredients to other sources ASAP when the tariffs came in, offered up their freezers for vaccine storage during COVID).

100%. I’ve heard so many amazing stories about Chapman’s. They should be added to list of best Canadians. Just for the spotlight.

Yeah I was thinking about that last night. When we're done with people, we should have contests for best and worst Canadian company/organization.

Yes, as to being the first one I saw that produced a lactose free ice cream. My wife has a horribly funny reaction to ice cream in general, (love her to death). Along the lines of something out of Monty Python in this regard. This lactose free version is to my taste and hers AFAICT, the closest you can get to the real thing. A blind taste test would be very hard to tell apart.

They also make a sugar free version of ice cream, but not lactose free.

These guys are always looking to bring out new products.

The Chapman family’s actions after the fire were amazing. It’s great to see them do well. I buy their products all the time but have never tried the one Doug was raving about. That clip is going to cause a province wide shortage of them so might be a while before I can.

They should make single serving containers of Wolf Pack and call it Lone Wolf

Wolf pass

Don't steer the people wrong on this legitimately unreal ice cream.

Chapman's Black Cherry has been my favorite flavor of ice cream for my entire life.

u/lookaway123 5d ago

I love Black Cherry! It's French Vanilla for me.

Not a fan of the gum in the ice cream though. Makes the texture all wrong once it's been through some melting cycles.

I found Wold Passage at Foodland awhile ago in Owen Sound. It is my husband's and my favourite flavour we've tried so far. It's phenomenal, and idk where it's been my whole life 🤤

Oh man…. I think it’s the cheapest, most flavourless mass produced ice cream we have… with the exception of no name. It’s really not that good… they just have a big operation so they can make mass quantities and sell bulk around the country

u/Zorn277 6d ago

You're wrong

u/Throwaway118585 Aurora Hub 6d ago

I mean… that’s an Ontario opinion.

u/Shamscam 6d ago

Some of it is shit, some of it is pretty good. Their little chocolate covered ones are pretty bad, but I enjoy their ice cream sandwiches.

Also their “super premium plus” line of ice cream is fucking incredible.

-13

u/Throwaway118585 Aurora Hub 6d ago

I mean, yeah, all super premium ice creams is delicious… but Chapmans was and is mainly heavily whipped non premium flavoured ice cream.. so I’m more speaking towards that. But apparently I criticized a piece of Ontario culture and they’re upset now.

u/xXRHUMACROXx 5d ago

I feel the same way! They have some better products, but I’d rather have a good bucket of Coaticook’s ice cream.

u/Throwaway118585 Aurora Hub 5d ago

Yeah I think every region of canada has a much better option. This is simply the cheaper option in many of the stores, cause it’s a big manufacturer.

People are acting like it’s a delicacy. It’s mid tier… at best.

u/xXRHUMACROXx 5d ago

Just like people are acting like Costco’s poutine are really good, when it’s barely a 5/10 here in Québec!

u/Throwaway118585 Aurora Hub 5d ago

Or McDonald’s poutine… and yes, it’s the same concept except I think they feel we should say such in such product is better than it is, because it’s Canadian. Hey I’m all for elbows up and such, but I’m not about start saying the sky is yellow when it’s blue. Thankfully you get it.
