Yes but it takes a bad one to ruin ice cream and vanilla doesn’t fall into that category. By rejecting vanilla ice cream, you are rejecting ice cream en masse and therefore have obtained your Monster Card.
This is true. Not only is vanilla a perfectly fine and delicious flavor, but it is also the foundation of countless other classic, fantastic flavors as well.
Or to put it another way, vanilla is an empty canvas on which to paint a whole lot of purdy pictures.
I still won’t hang a blank square of canvas on my wall, though.
