    Hmmm, this is actually harder than it seems

    Like, I’m a chocolate fiend. It’s my one true vice left to me after stopping tobacco use.

    But damn, vanilla is amazing. It’s such a delightful flavor in so many things that people forget how rare it used to be, how precious.

    For me, I couldn’t give up chocolate for it, but damn I would miss it. Pretty much every baked good I really love has vanilla in it. But you can’t really just have vanilla by itself, as in the way you can a chocolate bar. It’s always in something rather than being the main thing. I mean you could just eat vanilla beans, but it wouldn’t be the same

      vanilla is amazing; I guess it’s contextual for me. Vanilla ice cream or chocolate ice cream? I will choose vanilla hands down (preferably vanilla bean).

      But if I had to snap fingers and either chocolate or vanilla disappears from the world? I dunno, I would have a breakdown - I don’t think I could do it.

        Oh heck, back before bryers decided to screw things up, their natural vanilla was my default ice cream, even over stuff like hagen daz chocolate. I still prefer a good mistrial natural vanilla with the actual bean in it over any other ice cream, but I miss the heck out of the breyers.

        I think I’d it was a finger snap thing, I’d break my thumbs instead.
