5 quarts (4.7 liters) is common size. Yes, it's cheap. But not usually very good quality, though.

In the gallon size that is probably true. Nobody really buys it in that size unless they're feeding a gaggle of children at a birthday party who don't give two shits about how awful the ice cream quality is.

Personally, I prefer my ice cream to have exactly four ingredients: milk, cream, sugar, cocoa. The end. Nothing else. I've had to switch brands a couple times because they cave to pressure to make their chocolate ice cream more creamy. No! I like it a bit dry, it's got cocoa in it! LOL

Me, too! Tends to be a bit more pricey, but well worth it, in my opinion.

No egg yolks?

Not in chocolate ice cream, no. At least, not in the kinds I've liked best. And, I guess, I don't really like eggs in vanilla either. French vanilla just tastes off to me.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that my preferred ice cream style is "philadelphia style"
