I Scream

Athletes retire, computers become obsolete, horses get put out to stud...turns out not even ice cream flavors are immune from the passage of time. Baskin-Robbins is retiring five classic flavors, including Campfire S'Mores and Caramel Praline Cheesecake. Also getting the hook: ice cream classic French Vanilla.

Vanilla? Are they really axing vanilla? On consideration, though, it kind of makes sense. When was the last time you ordered vanilla at a place like Baskin-Robbins or Ben & Jerry's? When you can get a scoop of Double-Chocolate Banana Mocha Fudge N' Nuts with a Creamy, Crunchy Candy Center, who needs vanilla?
