Something described as vanilla connotes white, plain, ordinary, pedestrian, etc. Whereas the bean itself is plucked from a frikken' orchid in Madagascar! It's crazy expensive, exotic, intense.

I tend to leave the comments sections on Coleman-Franken articles open in a browser tab while at work for random distraction and find it very annoying when their auto-refreshes lose my spot. It reminds me of really amateurish websites from the nineties. I have noticed that thing about the Star Tribune’s pages automatically reloading too!
