manufacture them themselves?

5. Guar gum, cellulose gum, carob bean gum...

Lots and lots and lots of gums. There's your problem.

The gums are added to prevent ice crystal formation, prevent melting, and extend shelf-life. It's also why cheaper brands of ice cream--Walmart especially--have a foamy, plastic-y, marshmallow-like consistency that doesn't resemble real ice cream. Injected air bubbles, as mentioned by a previous poster, also play a role.

The gums are FDA-approved and not particularly bad for you. But they are disgusting.
