Vanilla Coke


Main Entry: 2vanilla
Function: adjective
Date: 1846

2 : lacking distinction : plain, ordinary, conventional

I was drinking vanilla coke last week. Quite tasty it was too.

Weird thought! It struck me that the above definition of vanilla does not apply to vanilla coke. Vanilla coke, bizarrely enough, is decidedly not vanilla.
