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.

    Braums

    Hey, I live in Oklahoma too, it's a local favorite, and it's not bad for the price, but Coldstone is much tastier, and the portions are larger, so it all evens out.

    Now Sonic's Sonic Blast's are really good, but there's the dreaded "mix ins" that the author is so terrified of, so he might not like it.

    Like a lot of people on here, my parents used to make homade ice cream when I was a kid, and I have very fond memories of it, but who knows if it would live up to the memory if I had it now. Sort of like watching a television show you loved as a child, and realizing it really wasn't all that good.
