It wasn't even plain vanilla

Karen Wise reports from the front lines of Newton's ice-cream wars: Coney Island Ice Cream Cafe serves up decent Oreo and mint chocolate chip ice cream, but its vanilla is decidedly lacking:

... It was the strangest thing. It was the right color, texture, temperature, everything — but there was absolutely no discernible vanilla flavor at all. Not an artificial flavor, mind you, but no flavor. ...

That is very odd, I wonder

That is very odd, I wonder what flavorless ice cream tastes like? Does it just just taste like forzen cream?

Speaking of Cold Stone, mentioned in the blog, you would expect a flavor called cake batter to taste a little better, but alas its quite aweful.

Sweet cream

Sweet cream ice cream really isn't bad, but it's certainly not vanilla. Maybe someone just forgot to add the vanilla in that batch?
