Yet you don't find chocolate vanilla ice cream pre mixed.

  A machine that mixes it for you doesn't count? Or this: http://www.breyers.com/product/detail/113883/vanilla-chocolate-ice-cream http://www.breyers.com/product/detail/113883/vanilla-chocola... And either way, the challenge would allow chocolate topping to a vanilla icecream base, or chunks of chocolate in a vanilla ice cream. Both of which are extraordinarily common.

  Only if there is also a third of it that is strawberry also. The only ice cream my granfather would buy was neapolitan, aka choc-van-straw.

  Chocolate chip ice cream is very popular. Ice cream sandwiches are another popular combination in the US with chocolate cookie bases surrounding a wedge of vanilla ice cream.

  Ben and Jerry's Half Baked? (vanilla and chocolate ice cream with chunks of brownie and cookie dough) Soft serve is still a type of ice cream, at any rate, and I sell a lot more twists than I do chocolate cones at my fast food restaurant. Black and white shakes are also popular. I'm a huge sucker for vanilla soft serve with chocolate syrup drizzled on top. Lots of vanilla+chocolate+ice cream possibilities! (If you insist, the argument: butterfat is measured by volume and soft serve by default has less because it's aerated a lot more than what you consider to be ice cream. we also have low-fat ice cream but it's still called ice cream. and what do you call gelato if you think butterfat is what defines "ice cream"?)

    Geloato and soft serve have different flavor profiles, and of course different names. Ice cream sandwich etc are again different, you would think if it was a good combo someone would have plain old cololate vanilla icc cream pre mixed.

      I'm so baffled by your continued denial that this exists, let alone is edible. I already linked to one that's exactly as you describe, the first hit on google for me for chocolate and vanilla ice cream: http://www.breyers.com/product/detail/113883/vanilla-chocolate-ice-cream http://www.breyers.com/product/detail/113883/vanilla-chocola...

        That's chocolate and vanilla in the same box, but not mixed. You will see most people go for one side or the other at a party.

        I can't understand the mental hoops you're going through to justify this. It's like a real-life version of an invisible dragon: http://lesswrong.com/lw/i4/belief_in_belief/ http://lesswrong.com/lw/i4/belief_in_belief/ What even would 'mixed' vanilla and chocolate ice cream be if it's neither machine-swirled soft serve, nor store bought both-ice-creams-in-a-box hard serve nor chunks-of-chocolate-in-vanilla nor chocolate-covering-on-vanilla? Mixed chocolate and vanilla icecream would be called chocolate ice cream! After all, vanilla is an ingredient in chocolate icecream.

        Salt is an ingredient in pasta, mixing extra salt and pasta quickly makes it unpalatable. Adding vanilla extract to chocolate ice cream is similarly nasty. Now sure, a hint where it's hard to tell in full chocolate or less chocolate, less vanilla and less cream to make that more bland helps. As does mixing some milk etc. But the full flavors don't mix well.
