What happened to plain old vanilla?

Coldstone Creamery and other "mix-in" ice cream chains that lard their cones with cakes and candies make me long for a simple soft-serve swirl.

    Coldstone

    It's good stuff, I usually get the coffee ice cream with sprinkles mixed in. I've never heard them sing at mine, so I don't know what's up with that, but the ice cream is top notch. It doesn't seem particularly expensive to me either, I would agree that Haagen Daaz is better, but it's much more expensive. If you want bland paste, Dairy Queen is the place to go, if you can find one.
