Ice cream, as the name suggest, contains cream. So does Strawberries and Cream ice cream contain more cream than plain old Strawberry ice cream or is it just fancier marketing for the same thing?

I would expect Strawberry ice cream to contain a puree, juice or flavoring to be incorporated into the ice cream base while Strawberries and Cream would have pieces of strawberries with the ice cream base being a neutral cream flavor.
