If you had to choose from these 3, what would it be?


I could do like twenty articles on different ice cream flavors since there's hundreds, but for the purposes of this poll, I've narrowed it down to the main three.

Throughout time (okay since the early 20th century), vanilla ice cream has mostly been the most popular ice cream and according to the IDFA's 2017 survey, vanilla is still at the top. Chocolate and chocolate candy mixtures all hold spots in the top 5, but the point is that vanilla is still the best and has been for awhile.

Now, I don't agree with that. I think that chocolate is best. The argument for vanilla is often "it goes best with pie" and I don't know about you, but I think chocolate ice cream and berry pie is pretty good. Chocolate is the same sort of neutral as vanilla, it's strawberry that you've got to be concerned about.

If you want to read all the technical parts of that survey and the further results, it's on the International Dairy Foods Association website, conveniently linked below.

So this brings us back to the question listed above. If you had to choose from chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry, which would you choose and why?
And of course the 4th option because ice cream isn't for everyone.

I would go with vanilla because I'm pretty simple with my tastes. Chocolate can be too much at times, especially if it gets chalky. Vanilla is more lushious to me, and I enjoy the consistency. I don't really like strawberry because it's too sweet. Now, if you put strawberry chunks in my vanilla, I'd enjoy it like strawberry jam in oatmeal.

I didn't used to like vanilla much at all until I actually got some real vanilla ice cream rather than the cheap kind and realized that stuff is amazing. Chocolate is still better on average though. <3

Strawberry... just no.

Strawberry, but with the caveat that it has to have real strawberries. I love strawberry ice cream, but not that fake crap.

Strawberry ice cream and strawberry milk are the dairy products that nightmares are made of. I mean I'll eat it (because it's ice cream) but I won't be happy about it. My issue is that it doesn't really taste like strawberries and the pink color is just unsettling for me.

I think in the Neapolitan mix I'd go for the chocolate. But generally vanilla ice cream is ideal if there are ice cream toppings involved, and honestly if there's ice cream there should be toppings involved.

I don't really eat ice cream...:P The last time I had some was several years ago, so I picked "I don't do ice cream".
