What is your definition of vanilla, and why do we refer to non-lifestylers that way?
Okay...

When Baskin Robbins first gave us 31-Flavors... I remember... whenever someone ordered vanilla, they'd be chided to experiment a little. Take a chance.

He'd say "But I like vanilla."

We'd say "Vanilla is boring."

And THAT's the origin of equating vanilla to safe but boring.


Of course... they forgot you could get your nuts crushed with your ice cream back then....
