    Might as well make it year round. Hell, vanilla was considered the fanciest of fancy rare spices, and now it’s in everything.

    Biggest problem i have with “seasonal” food, is the absolutely infuriating amount of food wasted just because the box/product needs to be swapped for the version that has hearts and bunnies on it.

      Vanilla, actual vanilla, is a pain in the ass to make, and almost all of the world’s actual vanilla ends up in ice cream. We can synthesize the same chemicals out of, among other things, wood pulp and beaver secretions, which is why it’s easier to make things vanilla flavored now.
