I will up you. Using the word "vanilla" to refer to anything neutral, default, or basic is wrong.
Vanilla is a sophisticated flavor, not to mention a precious and expensive ingredient. Most people have never consumed real vanilla in their lifetime.
- dheera 3y agoSimilarly, using the word "original" to describe plain potato chips is wrong. It's the most unoriginal flavor of the lot. Just call it "plain".
- ZoomZoomZoom 3y agoIt's not similar. Unfortunately, "original" is one of the words with a couple of very close but different meaning. This one even goes first in the dictionary: > Existing at the beginning of a particular period, process or activity. The original meaning of the root "origin" comes from Latin: to rise -> beginning, source birth.

Supposedly Haagen-Dazs ice cream is made from "5 simple ingredients": cream, milk, eggs, sugar, and Madagascar (sic) vanilla (which is "real" vanilla I assume?) And what about the vanilla extract which I have on my shelf, whose ingredients are "vanilla bean extractions in 35% alcohol?" Have we all fallen victim to a diabolical vanilla conspiracy?
- dahwolf 3y agoEven though the main character of the universe, you, has consumed real vanilla, the point stands. Almost everything labeled "vanilla" does not actually contain real vanilla.
