People do say “mushroom swiss” burger for that specific kind though.
It’s only gelato if it comes from the Gelato region of Italy, otherwise it’s ice cream >

Sparkling ice cream >

Did you know it is actually possible to make carbonated ice cream? Did it by accident one time. >

just use dry ice easy >

Yes! >

Don't even get me started on the looks you get when you order 'action man bow tie pasta' at a fancy Italian restaurant. >

Gelato literally just means "ice cream". It's not a proper noun, Italians don't have a different word for American-style ice cream, and they sure don't say "ice cream" when they talk about a tub of Ben & Jerry's. >

Gelato can be ice cream, but itself is not ice cream. All ice cream has minimum 10% milk fat, where as there is no standard for Gelato. >

That's exactly what op said not to do >

OP is an idiot. Legally it cannot be called that if it doesn’t have enough fat. Sure you can call it poop if you want to. But like some of us actually like to use proper words for things. Like I had an ex would called Tylenol “ibuprofen” which made me crazy because they’re different. >

True, my father is still in jail for calling Ice Cream gelato >

Companies. Not individuals as much as they may deserve something for their stupidity >

You can’t even afford to go to a proper womens clinic and we’re the stupid ones? >

You can just drop a couple hundred dollars on a whim? Because where I live a real gyno visit would be like $200+ like sorry I couldn’t afford college so now I don’t have a degree and nothing that pays well will hire you without a degree. >

Maybe try a trade? No degree required to be a plumber or welder, I think. >

I would rather risk it than play in poop. I’m really bored of the terrible suggestion >

To touch on “the fat and air ratios.” By definition, that is what categorizes frozen dairy treats. Soft serve isn’t ice cream. It’s ice milk, but I’d never correct someone because I don’t care. Custard isn’t ice cream due to the high content of egg and being served at a higher temperature. Saying there aren’t differences is objectively false. I do agree that we shouldn’t correct each other, because people care too much about definitions. >

... soft serve ice cream is still ice cream, bro. >

No.  that's why it's called "soft serve" there's not enough dairy to classify it as ice cream. >

Soft serve what? >

If you have to qualify it with a preface then it’s clearly not the same thing. Is a truck the same thing as a semi-truck? Is deep dish pizza the same thing as pizza? >

Even if they’re functionally very similar I don’t think there’s anything wrong with using different terms to recognise different processes and product. Gelato tends to be churned a lot slower than most ice creams, resulting in less air and a richer flavour. 
Might as well start using a blanket term “cheese” instead of cheddar, blue or pecorino cos it’s all just smelly milk right? >

I think what op is saying, to use your cheese thing, is that if someone says, 'I have a cheese burger!' you don't say 'no you have a CHEDDAR burger' or 'you have a PECORINO burger' even if that burger is using those particular cheeses.
Because both Cheddar and Pecorino both fall under 'cheese' so 'cheeseburger' is technically correct.
so someone saying I will have chocolate ice cream when talking about chocolate gelato is technically correct, so don't really need to be corrected.
