"A ubiquitous soft-serve vendor whose trucks and drive-through windows dispense countless cones of plain vanilla that serve as a comforting, unpretentious treat. The vanilla soft-serve is valued for its pacifying, almost ‘unflavored’ quality and appealing, slightly foamy texture—simple, nostalgic, and reliably soothing, ideal for curling up in a favorite Slanket or grabbing an easy, everyday indulgence." - Hugh Merwin
