www.tillamook.com/products/ice-cream is named after Tillamook County, Oregon in northwest Oregon on the Pacific coast and "The Tillamook or Killamook people, a Native American tribe who were living in the area in the early 19th century at the time of European American settlement."

Really Creamy is what it says on the lid, and sells for $4.99/1.5 qt with about ten different flavors at Market Basket in beautiful Plymouth NH on Tenney Mtn Hgwy!

So's how come it wasn't named Killamook ........instead of Tillamook ....... tink I go get me some Killamook ice cream ....... sounds delicious! ......

And their Tillamook Rocky Road flavor is forever dedicated to those Tillamook or Kiilamook Natives because a Rocky Road is what they got once those European Americans moved into their neigborhood ........ was a very very rocky road ....... thereafter ....... ugh!

There is a an ice cream and cheese factory in Tillamook, open to the public, that is a hugh tourist attraction.

Yes, Tillamook makes very good ice cream, and their blocks of cheddar cheese are tough to beat.

But there's another competitor that gives them serious competition as to ice cream, and they've also adopted the name of a native American tribe: Umpqua.

Both ice creams are very good with a good fat content.

One week ago, I bought a 1.5-qt container of Tillamook ice cream at Market Basket in Plymouth for $4.99 ....... and just yesterday ...... their price has gone up to $5.49 ......... omg! .... ..... so's I went with their 3.49 store brand instead ...... now I know that Tillamook is high quality compared this el cheapo Market Basket store brand. ....

If you ask me "price inflation" is just a phony baloney excuse to raise their price. Like rotating tires at Walmart doubled recently from $2.50 to 5.00/wheel ....... Lord have mercy!

Ice cream is a lot like an alcoholic beverage ...... some people just need to have it! ......
