Hello, everybody, it's me and Josh Johnson and me it is don't say sloan. I'm not good at doing these intros, but I feel like Josh has been doing a lot of heavy lifting, and I'm feeling like a crumb bum over here, just letting Josh do all the work. A crumb bump, A crumb bum. Yeah, it's like we're co hosted, but I'm like, we're co hosting, like I gotta do some of the work too. I just never heard that before.
I've never heard crumb bump. Oh yeah, crumb bump. Uh, I think I heard crumbum is almost like a yum yum, whereas like somebody like every though, somebody that's just always like they have the means, but they're always just asking you for food. Yeah yeah, yeah, because it's not like the girlfriend saying, oh I'm not hungry. It's not the same thing this person is eating. Yeah they're eating well, right, but it's like it's and it's like, you know, to do you want your corn bread? It's kind of like
crumb bump, crumb bump. We're we're so excited to bring this episode to you the public, because it's it's one of contention. It's probably going to be the one that gets listeners the most fired up out of the ones that we've talked about because catch Up being Tomato, sup. Hey, let the past be the past. Have you looked at the YouTube comments? I will ever look at those of YouTube comments. I'm gonna tell you what were the first things you learned as a comic is never look at
the YouTube comics. If you're someone who's on tv YE, never look at the YouTube comments. And I can tell you the ones that I've looked at. I don't know if there's a filter that goes through, because usually if you're a woman that looks like me on the internet, someone's calling you fat. Someone's taking the time from their American heathen day to type into al Gore's Internet that
I have more than one chin and one. They're not doing that unless someone from our team is just going through and being like nope, nope, nope, or YouTube finally cares about people. But I don't think that's happening. And uh wow, wow, people are not feeling because somebody was like, yo, Josh, I get it, you were trying to win bro, But Tomato Soupy and catch Up, I think you've gone too far. Baby. I think you've really affected hearts in mind, Joshua, I mean,
never mind all the other episode. It's like we're kind of deep now, Like there's so many other episodes where I make salient points and then this is the one that really STI mentioned that. They're like, man, josh has made so many other great points. What happened? Yeah, it was interesting because they're like, yo, dude, I know you were trying to win, but you were too far. You
were too far to the other directions. You went too far to the left, bro left, right, up, down, You did too much and so um, I mean this is the one that I will will really affect people. Well. I think it's interesting because the topic for today is chocolate versus vanilla. And first of all, I just want to take a second. If you were watching this on YouTube, stop the video. After I asked this question, who do you think is gonna go for? What? Do you think
Josh is gonna pick vanilla? Or do you think I'm gonna pick vanilla? Do you think Josh is gonna pick chocolate? Or I'm gonna track who do you think is gonna pick? What? I'm gonna give you a second, So just let you know this is chocolate versus vanilla. And guess what, y'all your girl Kerry Spicy calderon your girl's team Vanilla? Hide that coming? Did you? Did? You? You didn't think? You didn't think that me, me, old water Face was gonna be picking vanilla? But idea it but I did. Isn't
it wild? What a twist? So help us out? Help help us by explaining why vanilla for you? I think vanilla for me? One? It is an ice cream flavor that I grew up with because my mom likes to add things to ice cream, so we would get the pecan sandies who put those in ice cream? Sometimes just as simple as you know, throwing in your favorite cereal. Um,
maybe put in your own little fruits. You know, Vanilla was a carrier for flavors, right, some of my favorite ice cream flavors, like Moose tracks, the Bass, Vanilla like flavored ice creams like them. I never really got into Ben and Jerry's, mainly because it was expensive. M But if you give me a Bluebell situation, you give me a Mayfield situation. I may field moose tracks, I may you feel turtle tracks. Okay, if there's tracks, I'm eating them.
If animals out here putting his imprint on the planet with caramel or chocolatas, put it in my face. Okay, I like vanilla, basically, I'm but I think of vanilla, I think of ice cream, and then's different types of vanillas. It's different kind of carry your flavors. One thing I used to really love to do is when we go to the Chinese buffet, because you grew up in the South,
they were always Chinese buffet's um. At the end of the milk, you go, get you a little soft serve ice cream, and then I would add a little lemon, like a little first squeeze lemon. That was a nice palate cleanser after eating all the variety of things you eat Chinese buff Right, I do honestly prefer it over like in cakes, I don't prefer like I've never had a chocolate birthday cake because I've never wanted a chocolate birthday cake. I've made chocolate birthday cakes. I've made chocolate
cakes for people. I guess this is my thing. This is where I feel like you are so misguided. What the hell? Good night? This is This is where so I look at vanilla as one, right as like, then, if we're talking flavors, vanilla is the number one as far as units of flavor and taste. Okay, it's where you start. It's a good place to start a scale from one to ten, from one to ten. And I'll even say this, people give vanilla zero. It's a one because it is a flavor. It's not playing it's vanilla, right,
But you can't really enhance it. Like you said, it's a character. It's it's just carrier. Oh okay, it's a carrier. So then it it's a platform for their flavors. It's not a real flavor that's out here striking joy into hearts and minds. It's just out here helping cherries and sprinkles get along. But it's also did you think about it as a collaborator, a peacekeeper, helping hand to bring different flavors together. How about this I've seen, I've had,
I've enjoyed a triple chocolate cake. You can't have a triple vanilla anything because vanilla's vanilla. It's one, and you can't multiply one times one. You could have a vanilla what means that triple, But you can have a vanilla cape of vanilla crossing. That's the thing that exists. It's the thing that exists that all types of saying, it's just it's just a steady attack on your taste buzz where you're getting overwhelmed with the vanilla. Listen. I presented
my case. Now you present your case. You're very predictable case being deemed chocolate my very Okay, all right, chocolate came to us, blessed us. Was discovered in multiple countries. Al right, it came. Yeah, it came to us from multiple parts of the earth. You know, the cow world. What new world we're talking about new world, sir. It's all been one world the entire time. It's all been one planet. I'm not no, no, no, don't don't pull from that colonial history. The whole world's been the whole
world has been the whole world the entire time. Yes, in God's eyes, he built one planet. Again. It's white bok with books that made it new and old. So they ain't knowing about chocolate. Are we trying to we trying to say anything about chocolate, trying said that chocolate was not in the America, is in the conquered country,
conquered continent. Mm hmm. I mean, all I'm saying is what they called the New World was really the old World because they just hadn't discovered it yet, but because somebody didn't know what there was at I hear you, I got you. I'm just saying that chocolate doesn't come from one specific area or country in all of the world. Lots of countries bring us chocolate, and they bring us
their spins on chocolate and they bring us Yeah. Have you seen that Ghana has told these white folks that you were no longer going to take a raw being out of here and then process it on your own. We've been process this ship and you're gonna have to pay. USA is not playing with these hopes. God the president, Donna, he is not playing with these white folks no more. You understand. He's like y'a coming up in our country and taking ship. If you want this cacao, you have
to come to us do and getting raw beans. We're gonna process it and then give you that ship because you beg in here getting you're getting uncut the raw okay, and don't want us to have no process of plants. Oh boys, that funk y'all keep praying for my mor anybody's safety, because these white folks are a problem. So all I'm saying is chocolate comes to us at different degrees as well, so you can see the percentages they
tell us the percentages now of cacao in the chocolate. Absolutely, and I just let you know how stepped on it is. I I understand, but that pure, pure, right. So those bitter Sweets, those seventy those and those Hershey's, they all have different flavors. They're all coming from a different place. Vanilla it can't get stepped on because it comes out stepped on. Have you ever seen a vanilla bean. Yeah, I've seen a vanilla bean, But that's a that's an
old world plant. So you have to remember, like at one point, you know, we think of it as very generic because we have all the things here, but at one time, sugar was exotic because my fuckers didn't have sugar. I mean, if we have to go in the past for vanilla to have a leg up, So we just went to the past about chocolate, We just went to the past. Abou chocolate. I'm not saying at one point all of these things were exotic. Italy didn't have noodles
until Marco Polo came back from China. If it wasn't for the Chinese, Italians, what would they be making? What are they cooking? What are they famous for? Real good meat balls and like as far as meatballs, fire side, I checked this out, tomatoes New World plant noodles came from China. If it was not for somebody leaving Italy, what would they eat? Bro real good meatballs, all olive oil everything. See, I'm just saying fire meatballs, this bread,
this bread though, So I'm just throwing it out there. Yeah, I'm just throwing it out there that their different degrees are different levels of chocolate. And we're just even gonna keep it to bars, right bars, these bars of vanilla bar that's fine, hard and a chocolate bar. That's how we want them. That's how we take them. That's how we love them. Chocolate bar. And how many types of
chocolate bars are there? The most you're gonna get out of vanilla bars is cookies and cream, which is still getting a little chocolate in it to help it along because it's struggling. Vanilla is a bean, So you can't turn vanilla into a bar because it doesn't even have It's like if you think of all the things we do with like different beans like Sway beans and stuff like vanilla, it's like it's dried and you're just taking the seeds out, and it's very much like an extraction process.
But there's no Like I did not know, probably until I was almost in college, that cocoa butter comes from chocolate plant. I didn't know what cocoa butter came from. Like like you remember had like white chocolate. M hm, white chocolate is basically a stick of cocoa butter from what I from what I've heard, I mean that I don't know enough to correct you. But the fact that you don't get any dark vanilla but you can get white chocolate just another way that chocolate is being more
versatile in these streets. It's just another way that chocolate is coming at you in different colors and different flavors. I just think chocolate can go places vanilla camp that's an apple and orange situation. We're talking about flavors, right. I think for me, I don't like white chocolate. I like milk chocolate. But I have found out that about going over, you know, going to Canada, going to Europe, going to Mexico. The rest of the world hates our chocolate.
Apparently it's disgusting. No, we're not doing well. I did not know that our chocolates trash. I did not know. I've known for a long time, but I can't say I've never I've never been a huge fan of our chocolate. Like a Hershey bar. No, I don't want that. I don't want to eat a whole bar for it's all a ball of chocolate always seemed like way too much. But that's why they have the little divots for you to break it off, for you to have as much as you want to have while you're having it, because
they know the whole thing is just ridiculous. The whole thing is too much. Yet the whole thing like you break it per serving size, and even a Hershey bar break four those little things have that say that too is my max. And then eventually I'll wrap it up and set it somewhere and go Either isn't the fridge for the rest of my life. White chocolate isn't even really chocolate. It's chocolate that they're taking the cocoa out of because there's no cocoa. It's just fat m hm,
and then they injected chocolate flavor. Mm hmmm. I see, no, no, no, I see the point that you're trying to make. But what I still see is vanilla struggling so hard that chocolate had to do a plasma donation. Of plasma donation, or maybe on behalf of the white colored candies, or maybe vanilla doesn't have to go with Sammy Sosa. Okay, it doesn't have to be the last narration of Michael Jackson to be out here doing his job. Okay, I
don't want to bring Michael into this. Sammy Sosa, we all know looks like a thumb, doesn't make any sense. Don't don't act like I'm making you do these things I didn't want to have to. Like you're pulling out all the stops now because of vanilla. Is Vanilla is like listen, I'm flavoring things. Okay, I'm giving you because look at this, the nature of the flavors. Okay, chocolate is heavy, Okay, it's gonna sit on the tongue, but
there's a fat content, there's oils behind it. There's a lot of things that chocolate is doing because there are different aspects to it. Right, like, But Vanilla, on the other hand, Hey, baby, I'm a bean and you put me in ship. Okay, I'm doing cakes, I'm doing creams, all right, I'm giving you it's it's a whole different it's a whole different campaign. There's way less processing when you're dealing with vanilla. No, no, there's no vanilla bars because if you try to make a vanilla bar, you'd
be like a white chocolate situation. We need some type of base and then you're injecting flavor. But let's not have vanilla works. Vanilla is giving you a lateness. Okay. Chocolate came in to be heavy. Chocolate came in to step on your feet and be like, hey, what's going on what you're doing? But the funk up your teeth? Okay, no kids going to the dentist, the order the dentist. Okay. Ain't nobody sitting up getting caught with vanilla all on
their face. It's not happening. They have better Vanilla has better pressed because Vanilla is a more refined situation. Vanilla's are out there in your whole Halloween. That's what Vanilla is doing. Vanilla is a classy bitch, alright. Va like, hey, yeah, vanilla ca be in everything. Okay, you got triple chocolate cakes, you got tacolateo, chacoling on tacolo chocolate, Vanilla comes in boom,
that's the flavor. There's vanilla and then there's a little vanilla. Me. Chocolate, on the other hand, is letting you know it is stepped on like a motherfucker. Chocolate is then you know, hey, I could be better, I could be sweet, I could be stepped on. All it is is stepped on. Okay, we know American chocolate. Okay. Sidebar. Also, we have to mention this one thing. Have you ever had a chocolate orange? Yeah? What do you think about it? That was fine. I
think that's a flavor you have to grow up with. No. I can see that because the people who love it have always been eating it. That's very fair, and they're not American at all. They also love to crack it to like open it. It's like an event like That's how you can tell that they grew up with it because they love to press down, which opens up all the slices and then they yeah, I mean as things, but I was annoyed. One when you bite into it, that is hollow. Yeah, because there's nothing. I'm like. I
thought there was gonna be an orange cream situation. I think this might have been a Candbury situation. I thought they were going to give me more. Right, it's orange chocolate orange. I thought that it was going to be more than just the shape of a fucking orange. Um. But it's kind of cool that it's some slices. You can distribute it to your friends children, right, It's cool. It's whatever. I'm just saying. I've had a whole type of chocolate. Listen, what you're not gonna do? Because I
know you're closing, I've met you. I know what I'm not gonna do. Just for the record, this is unedited. I was big quiet, I was listening, and then out of nowhere, what you're not gonna do? I know the wheels, nigga, I know the wheels and the wheels. The wheels on this bus were eventually going to get us to the chocolate room at Harrod's. That's where these wheels were gonna go. Because I wasn't even thinking about it. What you don't know how to do this? Right? No? No, no, I
wasn't even thinking about it. I'll tell you why, because I was gonna let you punch yourself out because in my mind, yes, there are some situations where we're talking apples to oranges, but it's apples to oranges because chocolate can go so many places that vanilla can't. All right, you're talking about not all up in people's Halloween. Let's talk about the fact that really a lot of people
don't even want vanilla like that. So vanilla could call itself classy, it could call itself sophisticated, it can call itself particular and choosing, but nobody is choosing vanilla. When was the last time you saw vanilla fountainetta party? Help me you can because vanilla doesn't come because vanilla doesn't come in a liquid form like that. Okay, that's not happening. Sounds like it's not versatile, it's not versatilzed that the best you've heard in a while. What I'm saying is
is that getting that reference, I theres a child. I'll just shake it record style. Um. What I'm saying is that because of what vanilla is. Also, you know that chocolate in the damn chocolate fountains, it's never high quality. It's never it's never great, it's never good. Come on, come on, don't meet us. The chocolate fountains got nacho cheese fountains too. Okay. I don't know if you ever can see this clip from TLC which I want to talk about her wedding and she wanted a ranch fountain.
She wanted to ranch fountain. Josh, Honestly, I want to see it. I want to see it. I want to see a ranch fountain. Okay, I'm sure they have a Marinara sauce fountain. We out here putting anything liquid and a fountain. Honestly, think a Marinara sauce fountain can't happen because it would be far too splashy. Like you, you can't even approach that thing without messing up your whole shirt. It is splashy. You need something that's kind of you need that makes me think that a ranch that a
ranch fountain would be splashy too. It might be, yeah, because you need something that will come down in a ribbon. You need something that will hold it shape, something beautiful and smooth, like chocolate. I'm with you. I'm n cheese, nacho cheese, something that and when it's room temperature is solid. That's what I'm talking about you know, you know this is dandum out to terrorism, all right, because terrorism is catch up his tomato soup sauca. Ben Loden, you are
his predecessor. You are as great as student. When you sat up and look me at my Christian face, told me that's also sucking savage. Look look all I'm saying. All I am getting at. All I am approaching you with is the fact the on like like on adulterated no. No, no, no, no no, the unquestionable fact, not questionable, bro, that chocolate is going places and doing things that vanilla is too limited to do. I think about this. You know how we're all into all these nut milks. Some of us are, Yeah,
some of us know what a lie is. It's just it's juice. I wanted to stop doing this. You had to blend up these cash shows and squeeze them juice juice. Yeah. Also, why is there no peanut milk? Why we picked these very specific nuts? Yeah, we need some peanut juice out here. Peanut juice? Is there? Pistachio milk? You know what I want to like? I think so? Is it that sounds expensive? It sounds yeah, it sounds very expensive because if you've
even held eight pistachios, you've held six dollars. So there's never gonna be macadamia milk because that's gonna be a hundred fifty dollars a gallon. That Honestly, macadamia milk is what I feel like rich kids get with their babies back in just a buttery buttery milk. All I'm saying is that because there is no yes, chocolate can do different things than vanilla can do because of just the nature of the plant, right, Like orange tree can do more than an oak tree. Oak tree just standing there
putting shading a yard. Yeah, yeah, trees fruits, oh I have. Somebody was like I found out that some cities, you know, people do like like try to say that, like the trees that are in cities should be like food bearing trees for like people in the population who are having like you know, food issues like food scarcity or whatever,
or people who are in housed. There are a lot of cities that don't allow you to have fruit bearing trees in the city because for that reason, they're like, no, we don't want people to be able to that's wild. Like every tree, Like I get if you're an Oklahoma or like Colorado trying to grow an orange tree that makes no sense, but just have it like appropriate to where your climate is. People evil anyway, for the same way the oak tree can't do an orange tree that
it does because of the nature of said plants. Vanilla is not going to do what chocolate does and vice. First, you see what I'm saying. I do see what you're saying. The reason I've never been a huge chocolate fan because, um, first of all, like every the first time I had like European chocolate, I was like, oh, this is all this is so much better because this is not what we have. Also, whoever put chocolate butter together, God bless
God blessed that human being because that is fucking delicious. Um, I wonder why happens when you put vanilla and peanut butter together. Do you just throw up immediately or do you like I'm just saying, I'm just it's two competitively that some stuff don't work together. Chocolate and vanilla don't work. Listen, you ever the kid got neapolitan ice cream? My question is which flavor was always left in the container when you got neopolitan ice cream? What was the last one?
Was the strawberry because my house was always strawberry. I feel like it's very based on who was in the house. Yeah yeah, I feel like after the divorce interesting, Yeah, I feel like my dad ate chocolate the fastest, and then when it was just my mom and I, the like the whole distribution was just different. Like you would just see it looked like, um, you know, like when you're playing music and you got a little icon with the levels in it. The race to the bottom just
looked like that movement. So I'm trying to think of what was like last last. I think for us it was always um, the strawberry, But I can't say my mom and I loved it. Would buy you're one of those huge tubs with the handle on them. Yeah yeah, I think so. It was a plastic type with a red handle on it. My mom would buy that when I was a kid. And so because I remember as a kid not liking how chocolate ice cream tasted because
it had a weird ass after taste. And even as an adult having tried very expensive chocolate ice cream and you know, gelatos and ship and being in like nice ass places traveling let world, I still get that weird ass after taste from a chocolate ice cream. I think sometimes chocolate cake, I think I like a lighter now I love a brownie. Brownie is a'm a jam because Brownie's for me seemed to be the right balance of chocolate to other to other things. But like chocolate cakes,
I'm not always like a chocolate chocolate chocolate cake. That's too much. I need something else to like break this ship up? Can I offer up one extra thing? Try it? I don't think that when you go to other countries you get the good vanilla. I think that what's happening is the pinnacle of vanilla. We've already tastes and it's it's fine, and then you go to another country and you have their chocolate. What do you think the pinnacle
of vanilla is? I think the the absolute best vanilla I've ever had was something that really brought out the flavor of the bean and it did compliment the other flavors that were with it. Because what what are your favorite um, just as an example, what's your favorite type of vanilla pie? I mean vanilla pie? Like, do you count cheesecake as like a cake? Do you count it as a pie? Do you count I'm trying to think of times we put pies with lots of vanilla flavor,
when we put vanilla flavoring and cheesecake. Because you know how, you can have a chocolate pie. Yeah, you can have a chocolate pie. You have a chocolate pecan pie. You can have a chocolate pudding pie. Banana pudding is a very famous vanilla flavored situation. Bananas in it. There's been there's bananas in it, and sometimes those bananas completely overpower the vanilla. Oh I am the person that always picks the bananas out because I don't like bananas. I love plantains.
That's that's for another day. That's wow, Wow, that's you heard it here right now, at minute whatever of this episode, plantains versus banatas is gonna happen. Oh you you know what our next episode, next episode plantains versus bananas. We're doing it. We're doing it. Please you ready? Please? Don't you're ready? You will set yourself up, you save yourself up. Come on, okay, come on, come with it. I don't think you're really ready to lose back to back. You're
not ready to lose back to back. Your greatest failure was tomato with salsas tomato soode episodes ago. You're still clinging onto that older maam, that was not episodes I go, okay, don't do that, ma'am. Don't do that. You even have a topping. There's not that many vanilla toppings that go on to chocolate ice cream, But there's lots of chocolate toppings that pop pop pop pop pop all over that vanilla scoop. Okay, So you're saying that there's no vanilla toppings,
not no, just not many. What if chocolate it's just loose? What if chocolate is just for the streets? Are you wait? Wait, what if chocolate No no, no, no no no no no no no no no no no no no no, no, no no no. You are not going to call my delicious mocha, my delicious dark, my delicious milk. You're not gonna call all of my chocolate's hose. That's not what's gonna have. Just saying that it had to be so versatile because it could not focus. We need to sit
down and pray for you. You're loos you're playing your basic vanilla. That's what we need to do. What if chocolate is doing all of this because it couldn't there's no refinement. Okay, maybe it's all Maybe it's giving you. Maybe it's McDonald's. Okay, maybe it's McDonald's. Maybe it's just you know, you need you need to slow. You need to slow. You need to slow, or you're going right now because you're about to crash. You're about you as
someone who was the tomato soup. You sala the tomato soup right now because chocolate I know, I know, chocolate is still chocolate. I'm not finished it up and say that I listen, sausa will never be tomato soup. Okay, always be doing all of this out here. When you say when you say that what if chocolate is McDonald's, please remember, please, please please remember what what flavor of mcflury is and is only and then you just add stuff. It's like a blizzard at Dairy Queen. It's a base.
It's giving. What it can do is it can give you other things, or it could just be an ice cream. One of the first things you ever when the first time as a child that you was able to use the machine, from the first time you saw ice cream cone coming out of machine, it was either it was vanilla or or vanilla, chocol squirrel. But it was vanilla day one, baby, Vanilla been here since you had teeth. That's that's simply it was vanilla or chocolate or the swirl. Hey,
oh you your machine had three novelsulations. Look at God and look look, I know what you tried to do. You had to get me to go off the rails. And it's not gonna because the rails are fine and established. All I'm saying is you are really coming at me like you own Hershey's, like you own Lindor, like you all. It don't mean nothing to me. No made me name me one of the vanilla companies. Go ahead, what do you mean? What do you mean? What do I mean?
You just started rattling it off chocolate companies. Tell me those great, beautiful, powerful empires of vanilla. What mat of gascar? Baby? The country is there? You said, empires? That is there? Chep McCormick. Okay, that who's out here giving you vanilla? But this is the thing I named chocolate companies you've never had. You've know you can buy vanilla beans right and do whatever you need in your life. You can't go pick up a bag of ca cow beans. That's
not happening. You got the process this. You just can't show up and be like, hey, let me get someone, Let me get that pod, Let me get the giant bean and get the seeds out. Dry these big dry these seeds out in them. Add sugar, because what you have to remember is that you've never had chocolate in its pure fawn. Chocolate is not sweet. It's not about being sweet. It's about being delicious. It's about being and they ad and it's ad and all they do is
add sugar to it. When may do something with a vanilla bean and confused with a cream, you know you can have a vanilla flavor you ever had. You're at Baker's chocolate, the bitter sweet. No, no, no, Baker's chocolate just the big brick of chocolate. Yeah. But the thing is Baker's chocolate is actually the true form of chocolate because there's no sugar in it. Well remember then other
episode of Roseann where DJ been into Baker's chocolate. He's like, She's like, yeah, I trying to tell you six times. So what I'm saying is chocolate in its raw form, it's not good to push sugar in it. That's simply not true. Have you had plain chocolate? I have had plain chocolate, and I'm also I've also had the darkest
of dark chocolate from they still put sugar in it. No, I know, but that that one when you go to like Ecuador, you go to these countries that do so for you to produce point you had to go to Ecuador. I didn't have to go to Ecuador. I'm simply saying that at every level of putting sugar in chocolate all the way to no sugar, it was fire all the way to no sugar. So from no sugar all the way to just sugar, chocolate is dope and it's useful
if it's useful. If it was dope, how come nobody if it was dope chocolate with no sugar, Why is that not something you can really other than that big gass brick or Baker's chocolate, which also looks stepped on No one's because like they're like because dark chocolate, because they've given us dark chocolate when there's milk chocolate and all these things. Right, the dark chocolate is chocolate that's not had, that has no milk in it. Is that
what dark chocolate is like? No dark chocolate has less sugar, almost no ingredients like that. When you see the percentages of of like the cocao in it, that's when you know it's like truly not only just quality, but also healthier for you because there's almost no ingredients at all. The only ingredient will be what they put in it
with the mix. So if you have like a macha dark chocolate, you'll read it and it will say, like the bitter sweet chocolate, the macha green and cane sugar will usually be like one of the last ingredients, which means they put the least of that in there. They let these people put grass in its chocolate. You can put anything in chocolate. Yeah to say grass, I've had it and they made it very good. It's grass. It's very complicated to make, but taste like fresh line. Because
your vanilla is like a platform. You said it yourself making money off. Okay, I'm not making no money off it is by Eila. You're not making no money is vanila? So you're making money of this chocolate? Hey, Then vanilla in general is like a carrier. It sits. It's a platform. It's like an elevator floor. A chocolate is the whole house.
It's the whole house you're in. But vanilla can be at Listen, when you look at these specialty flavored ice creams, chocolate is not always the base because if you put a bunch of stuff on chocolate ice cream, it's just tastes like chocolate ice cream, right, But vanilla. Throw a little caramels sroling it, throw a little foxx w hey do both. You're an American. Nobody can stop you. You're You're awful, so out here throwing all kinds of things,
and this ice cream right because it's it's a collaborator. Okay. Chocolate is a bully. It's pushing all other flavors out of the way. This is wild. Hey, I'm telling you as someone who's been where you are right now. This is a mirror. Okay, I'll try to help you the way you try to help me. Chocolate is a bully, Okay. It's send up, melting in your hands, getting all over your face, making you look like that you ain't a college graduate. All right? Why are there's so many chocolate
candies and there aren't that many vanilla candies. We've already established the bars because of the nature of the plant for the same reason that there's orange juice and not pine juice. There's no flower like, there's no you get juice out of fruit. We're not asking plants that don't have fruit to be juice. Wait, what was that apple juice versus you're saying that there's no vanilla bars, and there's no vanilla bars because of the nature of vanilla.
And now I'm asking why there's no vanilla loot there's no vanilla eminem's. There's no vanilla you know what I'm saying, like loose candies, because it is a flavor that comes from it's a it's think of it like like a herb. Because it's a plant. You do a flavor, so like your bay leaves are regano's stuff like that. No one, So you're not going to get the same thing out of vanilla that you get at of chocolate because of
the nature of the plant. You can't get like you can't squeeze vanilla and get oiler, Like you can't get oil out of every they can get sybeing oil. You know, carnola, I still don't know what a carnola is, but I've never met a caranola. I've never seen her in the streets. I've never seen her out here working, but she do she does, she does what she does right, Yeah, but also sessami oila what a tiny seed? What a giving
us flavor? Giving us flavor? Bro Like, Like, I remember the first time I had something with sesame oil and I was like, I think that that that must have been the devil because that was just too much flavor hitting me all at once. That was insane. And you've ever eating a sesame seed, it didn't give you all of that. No, No, I've had everything bagel and it tastes like nothing. Nothing. So the fact that like they're really out here, they were like, listen, we've got these
tiny as seeds. We're gonna on this planet. We're gonna do something out here. What I will offer up, though, is to your point of think of it as an herb. There are herbs that can be candied that that are that. We have mints. A mint as a herb, right is a mentor your there's vanilla candy, you know, there's I know there's vanilla candy. I'm asking you to offer up what vanilla candies stack up to the all the chocolate
candies that are out there. I'm not saying why aren't they any I'm saying, what do you think is a good vanilla candy? Honestly, my favorite candy is Reese's Pieces. Oh why would you tell me? Why? Why would you offer it up on camera? It used to be butterfingers was a snicker and then kill me right now? And then I just got to the source where I was just like, I just want peanut butter. That's all I want.
So now my favorite candies, recent pieces, I will I will throw it out there one more time because I feel like I didn't quite get my question answered from before. Um. You know, we both agree that we had chocolate in all of its forms here and it wasn't until we either traveled abroad or have the chocolate from abroad that we're like, wow, this is it? Right? Um, I'm asking why you think that the vanilla that we have isn't better in other places? Like I like, you know, I'll
offer it up extend the olive branch. I've never had Madagascar vanilla, but I also haven't had any vanilla that was better than the vanilla I grew up with. And that's where the refinement is is bumping me. Because you talk about refined sophistication, can't be everywhere, can't be doing everything, but then when it's doing any other thing, it tastes just like it did when it was doing the other stuff. Wow.
So did you ever have the vanilla titzero? I did when It's Roll came up with flavors, and I can't say, citser Roll don't do chocolate that great, So I was not impressed, but I can't tell you it was the strawberry one that they did. The strawberry, the orange is pretty good, banging. I think czer Role has has really just missed the mark, like should have been flavors the whole time, have been flavors the whole time. I would
agree with that. I have no problem all bring up that not every chocolate company is doing chocolate to the to the degree that it deserves, you know, But I just I just don't know what vanilla is doing. I feel like vanilla is the flavor of the seventeen hundreds. You know, it's just it's it's time is past. I don't think it's time has passed. I think it's still giving us because it's like, you know, we've got vanilla fudge. We got the vanilla candies, you know, little cream savers.
That's vanilla vanilla fudge. I was surprised about it. Also, I realized vanilla is like fudges too much for me sometimes, so I can always get down with fudge. Now, is every fudge chocolate? No, you can have like the toffee not. Ye have different flavors of fudge. I fudge had to be chocolate. Um. And so I went to college with a lot of white women, and they were like, oh, no, girl, you cany fudge any um, because there's peanut butter fudge.
You've been peanut butter fudge, You've had peanut butter fudge. I just assumed that there was a little bit of chocolate in it. Now I can say, I don't know what the hell fudge is. Truly. Fudge just seems congealed, like congealed of the thing that you're eating. I think there's condensed milk in it. I think it's there's a thing fudge different. I haven't peppermin fudge all kinds of fudge because you know, we've all been to a mountain town um and been to a Oh my god, I
just had the word for it. General store. But yeah, I'm just saying that, like, no, there's not a lot. I don't know, there's a lot of mainstream out here every day. Vanilla candies, No, that's not a thing, while chocolate is everywhere. Maybe it's the demand and they have to up the supply. Are you talking about chocolate, Yeah, I think that vanilla maybe that's just not in demand like that. So then they get by how they can
get by. You have to get it how you live, as they say, so you're you know, in the streets, and if anybody's in the streets, it's chocolate. Vanilla is a flavor. Chocolate is a thing. Get that. Nope, I will not let you do this. This is a conspiracy theory. Start. This is like, no, vanilla is a flavored. Chocolate is a thing, all right, and it's not a thing from this world, and it's an inside job. You can find the real original chocolate at Area fifty two. That's the
area they don't tell you about. Nah na na na. What I'm saying for the same way that like, in the same way that mint can't be a bar m hmm. Mint doesn't do whatocolate does. But you're not out here attacking mint, because other people have not had the audacity to compare mint and chocolate. They'll put in chocolate. You know what I'm saying, I'm comparing flavors. You are trying to compare carriers of the flavors bars, cakes, ice cream.
So I'm talking about the flavor I'm I'm just saying, I'm proving that there is a better flavor by where it goes and what it can do. And how many people wanted to say that, because it can, because it has a bigger distribution, because of the nature of the plant of because of what can what it can become. I'll make a full plain flavor argument right now. Okay. In a chocolate milkshake and a vanilla milkshake at a diner, mistake that I've often see. I often see it happen.
I've had it happened to me throughout my entire your life. When you get a vanilla milkshake, the ratio of milk can be off, and it can easily be off because vanilla is a carrier. The distribution of milk and chocolate in a chocolate shake is much harder to mess up because if you put too much milk in a chocolate shake. It's not even gonna look like a chocolate shake. It's gonna look like a dirty milk. You know, you're saying
just because vanilla and milk are both white. No, No, I'm saying what what I've had happened to me in my life has been milkshakes, whether they were chocolate or vanilla. The vanilla sometimes it can't over even overpower the milk. Now, I'm just drinking some cold milk with some ice in it,
with a little bit of vanilla flavoring. So because you've been to a diner owned by some cheap motherfucker's who bought cheap ass ice cream or thought that somebody wouldn't otis because they didn't put enough vanilla ice cream in to this milkshake. This is vanilla's fault because I've had some very amazing vanilla milkshakes. But honestly, my milkshake of choice is strawberry or cookies and cream or or have you been to the Chick fil are one the frost
lemonade or a mint cookies and cream shake? Hm. I mean the fact that you're not saying vanilla is a bit tell. I've said vanilla, and I also said other things that I like because one, I'm not always a milkshake person. Okay, do you know what I love? I love a blizzard from Dairy Queen. But yeah, it's all I'm saying is that I'm not trying to win here real real quick. I'm so sorry. I'm just because I also know we have to wrap up so your mind.
You know how at Dairy Quayd they're supposed to flip the blizzard upside down to shop and there's nothing like when it falls out, because the cashier and the driver just looking at it all the ground and then they gotta go do another one. But it's like when the confidence that they flip it and it almost never falls out.
So then when it's a little too thin and they go, well that's why you ever seen in the British baker each other like, oh, your meringue is good if you can turn it over above your head and it doesn't fall out. And I'm like, why are we testing this that way? It doesn't have to be the head. Yeah, it doesn't have to be your head. I would test it over a trash can, Like why is it because you see him just like looking up at it, like I hope it doesn't fall out. What the fund is
wrong with you? You're on your international television do you? You must trust you a lot? Are you touch these peaks to let me pop in like this. I know that a lot of people are going to disagree with me, but that's because we all love a chocolate a chocolate bar. You know it wasn't you know, Charlie and a vanilla factory that didn't happen. So I understand that people have a place in their hearts for chocolate. I didn't expect to win this, okay, I just wanted to have the discussion.
