The best artificial vanillas have under 20. People who say vanilla is flavorless simply haven't had the real thing.<br /><br />It is a poor vanilla flavored ice cream that needs the accoutrements of a Sundae. But vanilla ice cream without the toppings is the source of the analogy.

Beyond that, even Tolkien produced more than one variety of Vanilla- <i> The Hobbit</i> which I like very much and <i>LoTR</i> which I don't like at all.<br />Ice Ice baby.Aoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00145284080419502886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670029344758253148.post-41912761909668343222010-04-16T20:29:35.030+03:002010-04-16T20:29:35.030+03:00I agree.
