With all due respect, even Bon's Premium Ice Creams are mass produced garbage. Try Mariposa, across from Central Park in Puerto Plata. Homemade Ice Cream. Maybe 20% more expensive than Bon, but well worth it.

Have you ever been to the Bon factory?

Please tell me what you know about Bon ice-cream.

The only thing that counts. How it tastes. Mariposa and Bon are a block apart in Puerto Plata. The only people eating Bons Ice Cream are the people that won't pay for the quality of Mariposa. BTW, have you tried Mariposa?

I have eaten chocolate ice-cream in maybe 10-12 different countries, yet to find one that I like as much as Bon's organic one.

But hey, your right again... who would have thought people could have varying taste buds.

You're absolutely right about different tastes to different people. One thing that does turn me off to Bon is the fact that they sell both a standard ice cream and their organic line. They are in fact telling you that their standard line is garbage.

This statement is garbage. Geez ... we eat mainly organic food but we won't stay hungry if we cannot get it. Some people don't care and some people do. If a business offers two lines, they are catering to two markets.

Ben & Jerry's, Haagan Dazs etc do the same, I wonder why that is?

I'll be sure to send Bon your name as you appear to be a very forward thinking ice-cream marketing expert! jejejeje
