Just like "I couldn't care less" has become "I could care less", nothing is as it seems and very little makes any real sense. Ice cream probably started out tasting like cream. Yes, cream has its own flavour and its not vanilla. AOM has now been embellished and you can call it TT but I call it RR (Rocky Road).
Just a few lines from a vanilla player of AOM, that since its been flavoured with 6 patches, is perhaps not vanilla; more like the taste of a mud puddle. Age of Mud.

Ordinary and original are not related. Something doesn't have to be the first flavor to be the common flavor. I'm also pretty sure that vanilla ice cream came before the other current flavors anyway.
Wrong. Vanilla was not the first flavor. Go to Google.com, type in "ice cream history" or something similar to that and it will tell you that the first ice cream was a mixture of ice, salt, and fruits.
And in this county, the most common flavor of ice cream is peach or orange, not vanilla. I'd say vanilla is the third most common, then strawberry, then chocolate. Of course it would be different in other places, but that's something that cannot be argued.

Any of various tropical American vines of the genus Vanilla in the orchid family, especially V. planifolia, cultivated for its long narrow seedpods from which a flavoring agent is obtained. The seedpod of this plant. Also called vanilla bean. A flavoring extract prepared from the cured seedpods of this plant or produced synthetically.

I think there needs to be an AoMH Ice Cream Party to solve this arguement.

Quoted from Halo:
I hope you're joking.
Actually he's right. The definition of black is no color, and the definition of white is all colors combined.

White would therefore be a color, though black would not.

Well of course that's true ... in studying the Spectrum in Astronomy and such, but otherwise black and white ARE colors.
For Black:
Quote:
Being of the color black, producing or reflecting comparatively little light and having no predominant hue.
For White:
Quote:
The achromatic color of maximum lightness; the color of objects that reflect nearly all light of all visible wavelengths; the complement or antagonist of black, the other extreme of the neutral gray series. Although typically a response to maximum stimulation of the retina, the perception of white appears always to depend on contrast.
