The Explore-Exploit Tradeoff

just to be the first to say it, vanilla is a complex flavour which makes incredible ice cream if done right.

the flavour you're thinking of is "milk".

[deadeyegai@lemmy.world]

Bonus: the ice cream machine is broken and waiting for parts

[voyajer@lemmy.world]

As if vanilla is the same at any two craft ice cream shops

[camr_on@lemmy.world]

This is the approximately the plot of a KND episode

[pennomi@lemmy.world]

Gonna go ahead and say that if you have 2000 flavors you probably didn’t spend enough time optimizing each one for perfect flavor.

[rockslayer@lemmy.world]

God that show was good. I remember exactly what episode you're referring to, and the 5 is right about sprinkles

[makeitstop@lemmy.world]

Also an episode Iron Fist... for some reason.

[stovetop@lemmy.world]

Even a simple sweet cream flavor is amazing on its own if they have a good process and they use good milk. There was once a local place where I tried that and loved it, and it's something I'd love to try again...if not for how badly dairy just fucks me up. I love getting fancy with ingredients, but sometimes less is more.

But it's vanilla. That's like a 24-hour diner not knowing how to make eggs.

'I fear not the ice cream shop that has 2000 different flavors, but I fear the ice cream shop that has 2000 vanilla flavors"

VANILLA IS NOT PLAIN

VANILLA IS A COMPLEX FLAVOR

I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL

[meep_launcher@lemm.ee]

I'd say the measure of an ice cream shop should be their vanilla. No gimmicks. No cover ups. It's the industry standard.

If your vanilla slaps, that's all I need to know.

[s1ndr0m3@lemmy.world]

Plain or not, vanilla is common. According to this comic, you will die when your body hits the bottom.

[usernameblankface@lemmy.world]

Yes, exactly. If the shop can't make good vanilla, then they're a gimmick shop.

[usernameblankface@lemmy.world]

Haha when I want to try a new brand or location, I judge it by how good their vanilla is.

[tacosanonymous@lemm.ee]

Not plain, just basic. It’s in a lot of other flavors.

[bonesince1997@lemmy.world]

Dude made the climb. Gets whatever flavor they want.

[linktank@lemmy.today]

Thank you!

[passiveaggressivesonar@lemmy.world]

High quality vanilla ice cream slaps beyond belief, I don't know where sushi shops source it

[opisek@lemmy.world]

Which is fascinating because it used to be very rare until we figured out how to make a 100% equal replica chemically for cheap.
