First off, I think it's ABSURD that Babcock uses gelatin in their ice cream. Any ice cream maker worth their salt would never use that sort of additive (seriously, no one does this...it's very strange). I suspect they're trying to cover up poor quality ingredients. Secondly, I can't understand why Babcock refuses make and use dairy products that are hormone free--even the behemoth dairy conglomerate Dean's has stopped using hormones. Besides those two BIG strikes against it, most flavors are generally unimpressive, with the exception of the awesomeness that is the orange chocolate chip custard (hence two stars and not one). It's important to observe, however, that creamy deliciousness of the orange custard ice cream results from it being a custard and NOT because it comes laced with gelatin.
