Still prefer real vanilla for cold things. There’s more flavors in it than just vanillin. Most of that gets destroyed at higher temps. So for baked goods, artificial vanilla is indistinguishable.
Vanilla extract became expensive, many ice cream makers used less, end result vanilla is considered the bland flavor because there is never any vanilla in it.
It’s fucking milksugar.
Find a vanilla with actual vanilla in it and it’ll grow hair on your tits, sweetie.
How well an ice cream shop does vanilla will be an indicator of how well they do the other 1999 flavors. Is it quality ice cream or a whole lot of chemicals to get your flavor?
“Vanilla”, for some reason, has come to mean “plain” in English. That is a specific linguistic quirk. It doesn’t exist in my native language, and not coincidentally no-one who I share this native language with would think to give me shit because my favorite ice cream flavor is vanilla, because it’d be just as nonsensical and out of the left field as making fun of someone for preferring chocolate flavor.
Although salt has a flavor, it’s more so a flavor enhancer because of the positively charged properties of the sodium after dissociation. So, it’s pretty fair to call it plain given the myriad of options, and that potatoes are trash without it.
VANILLA IS NOT PLAIN
VANILLA IS A COMPLEX FLAVOR
I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL
Plain or not, vanilla is common. According to this comic, you will die when your body hits the bottom.
Which is fascinating because it used to be very rare until we figured out how to make a 100% equal replica chemically for cheap.

Vanilla (flavor) may be ubiquitous, but it’s not “plain” or boring. Certainly not if made right! That’s the false equivalency…
I WILL STAND WITH YOU, BERATNA
VANILLA ICE CREAM IS BEST ICE CREAM

Exactly this. Establish a baseline before trying the more exotic offerings.
Yes vanilla is not plain. The plain flavour is Rabri. It’s just you don’t have rabri in the west that’s why you all think vanilla is plain.
Also rabri ice-cream >> vanilla ice-cream
Ice cream boneheads, the lot of you!
Ice cream is three basic ingredients: cream, sugar, salt.
Anything other than that cannot be considered “plain” ice cream!
Also, I make my own ice cream and I agree that cardamom is top-tier. Shockingly good with a few drops of brewed espresso as well!
Not plain, just basic. It’s in a lot of other flavors.
So is chocolate, yet no one complains about it.

Same thing happened to salt. Things like potato chips flavoured with salt are considered plain.
Although salt has a flavor, it’s more so a flavor enhancer because of the positively charged properties of the sodium after dissociation. So, it’s pretty fair to call it plain given the myriad of options, and that potatoes are trash without it.
They’re trash without it because they are actually plain without it.
Meanwhile salt and vinegar are the best flavour combination and will burn a hole in your mouth because you ate too much.
Worth it tho.
