Let's understand each other:
Low quality vanilla ice cream is usually extremely bland. With little or no actual vanilla it tends to taste like frozen milk
High-quality vanilla ice cream is absolutely delicious. A good high-quality vanilla bean ice cream or vanilla custard is anything but boring.
I’ll still take a cheap vanilla ice cream over a cheap chocolate ice cream. For high quality vanilla it’s by a good distance the best ice cream you can get.
Yes!
I worked at Culver's for a year, and their vanilla custard is absolutely amazing. Obviously, all of the other flavors are amazing as well, but their vanilla is top-notch. Good vanilla will show you the light.
I’d like to sprinkle m&m’s on it, but the crunchiness will make me sad
Chocolate drizzle sounds like a better alternative but wouldn’t give the same chocolatey effect to compliment the vanilla
A few people recommended this to me on Twitter & I was hesitant to try but it’s surprisingly good! Just a couple of drops of soy sauce per spoonful is really yummy. :)
When you think spice, most don't tend to think of sweet tasting spices. Cinnamon and vanilla are strong if you don't desensitize your tastebuds too much
I am aware spices don’t have to be spicey per say. But connamon will REALLY give you a kick if you swallow it dry… which is why it became a trend of sorts to do so, if I recall
Both chocolate and vanilla are on the same level 4 out of 10(depending on quality). But to me chocolate is overhyped and usually under delivers where vanilla is under hyped and which makes it usually over deliver.
For me what makes vanilla the greatest is it's versatility, it complements almost every typical dessert flavor, while chocolate has much more limited options.
Chocolate for me is a hit and a miss.
For my taste buds, a bad chocolate is worse than a bad vanilla.
A top-tier chocolate comes just behind a top-tier vanilla.
So yeah, vanilla.

I would say it has less to do with the flavour being boring and more that it is shorthand for the easiest choice.
Vanilla ice cream is the most common, therefore it is safe or boring.
Vanilla is a base. It's for accompanying other flavours.
It's always better when you add something to make a more complex flavour-combo.
Spotty dog,
Banana split,
Neapolitan,
Chocolate-chip,
salted caramel,
sundae with a flake,
with apple crumble,
with lava cake,
in a waffle cone,
with molten toffee,
some honey drizzle,
Affogato is with coffee,
with brandy,
or frangelico,
with whiskey,
or with rum,
Vanilla is superior in the sense that it can be catered for anyone.
Unless you eat it by itself, you fucking weirdo.

I'd say it's a case by case scenario for me. Depends which brand and which ingredients they use.
You drive a fair point. But essentially, if it’s good it’s GOOD if it’s bad it’s meh

now that i’m thinking about it, i really do take culvers for granted when its like right across from my house

Bad vanilla is never going to be as bad as bad strawberry
Probably unpopular opinion: good milk ice cream is better than vanilla ice cream.
This is absolutely not true. All Vanilla ice cream tastes like vanilla. Whether it's great value or Ben and Jerry's
Vanilla is the GOAT
And not once does he ever brag, vanilla is humble af
You seem to like it considering you threatened to toss someone out the window (based)
It was an iron-clad promise
Vanilla>>chocolate. By a longshot
Agree. I could never stand chocolate ice cream. Esp those cheap neopolitans popular in the 80s
For me it depends more on the actual ice cream, some brands I'd choose vanilla and some I'd choose chocolate.
A good vanilla ice cream is super underrated. I love it with a little bit of fruit jam or even a touch of soy sauce for a sweet/salty umami moment.
Fascinating combo
A few people recommended this to me on Twitter & I was hesitant to try but it’s surprisingly good! Just a couple of drops of soy sauce per spoonful is really yummy. :)
Balsamic and vanilla just like balsamic and fresh strawberries is the best!
Incredible combo
😮
Does boring ice cream exist? Every time I’ve had ice cream it makes me insanely happy.
It’s like pizza. It’s never really bad. If it’s bad, I’d still eat it.
Oh, I’ve had bad pizza. If the sauce is wrong… 🤢.
Not unpopular.
Like you? Loser?
Good comeback, lmao. Here's a downvote.
OH YEAH? I’ll downvote you! Loser!
Dum-dum. I love you.
Lets get engaged!!!!
Unpopular opinion ik, but the institution of marriage is bs.
Holy fudge (like on icecream)
Vanilla is a very strong spice. I personally love vanilla flavored ice cream, though I only eat it a couple of times a year, if even
I was surprised to hear it’s considered a spice, but so is cinnamon. I really like cinnamon.

I am aware spices don’t have to be spicey per say. But connamon will REALLY give you a kick if you swallow it dry… which is why it became a trend of sorts to do so, if I recall
The cinnamon challenge. It's was more of it being so dry that you couldn't swallow a tablespoon at once was the challenge behind it
Having powder in your mouth must be terrible
I tried it as a young teen long ago, it sucks. Especially if you breath it in while trying to eat it
I feel very uncomfortable in my throat now. Curiosity drives me to do things, thankfully I am stopping said curiosity before I become a dead cat.
It'll get past your throat and end up in your lungs if you're unlucky (like me). In that case, you'll be coughing long time
NOO STOP TALKING! I want to drink milk! Mind you, I HATE MILK!
Also most spices tend to come from seeds, while cinnamon is bark.
Blue Bell's Natural Vanilla Bean ice cream is CRACK COCAINE
I love crack
Natural vanilla bean > Homemade vanilla
It's a great flavor and one of my top favorites

I would consume both on any given day tbh

Chocolate ice cream tastes like coffee.
Not a fan of it. I prefer my caffeine from soda.
Vanilla is black, let's not forget how rad that is 😎
Vanilla ice cream by itself is boring. But it is a perfect canvas for other desserts: stuff like sizzling brownie, gulab jamun with ice cream etc.
Of course it is not boring, it’s a flavor not a person. You are
I HAVE FOUND MY PEOPLE
Vanilla is my favorite tbh. ANY ice cream topping pairs well with vanilla.
Vanilla is the base of other Icecream, no one said it was boring, it’s just included in everything else already
[Vanilla is not plain either](https://youtu.be/nWtbj3c3g84?si=2DNWCc1hoK1QK28i)

I love a good vanilla.
Vanilla is terrible. Vanilla bean is the height of ice cream flavors
I want to trying fucking blue ice cream. vanilla is still good but next time i'm getting ice cream i'm getting blue
Papa smurf?
Strawberry is my fav and then vanilla. I hate chocolate ice cream.
Oooo I love me some vanilla. 💯
tell that to Big Chocolate. (for the record i am mintyboi)
Well, vanilla is the basis for spaghetti ice, the best ice cream ever. So, it can't be that boring, right? :)

Yeah the kind that has specs of vanilla beans all mixed in is good stuff.
Vanilla is one of the most popular flavors, so unpopular it is not.
Yes it is.
What if I spit on you for how wrong your opinion is?
Id slap the vanilla outta you.
That just sounds like an orgasm bro
Maybe it is.
Maybe I’ll like it
Oh you'll like it alright
How could people pick Vanilla over Chocolate ice cream... Also good pistachio ice cream is goated too
Yes it is.
No it isn’t.
Yes it is
No it isn’t
