I was at the dollar store when I noticed the pints say “ice cream” but the quarts say “frozen dairy dessert” even though they’re the same brand… what causes this since they should be producing both the same way?

Probably just two different products from the name manufacturer.

Different product from the same manufacturer. Ice cream has a legal definition and must be a minimum of 10% milk fat and contain not less than 20% total milk solids, along with a few other requirements. Frozen dessert doesn’t have enough milk fat or milk solids to be called ice cream, but usually has too many to be called “lite ice cream,” which also has a set of standards that have to be met.

Founders makes both real ice cream and frozen dairy desserts. The margins on pints are higher, so some companies put their more premium line into the pints.
