I recently learned vanillian has over 200 ingredients. I realize demand for natural vanilla is probably bad for the habitat, but I've no idea what those chemicals do, ingested singly, let alone how they may interact together, with digestive liquids.

Reality has all of them. But the quality competitors are expensive and this keeps it to a niche audience. Then you have the race to the bottom competition that does business in quantity over quality and likely the one you grab since you’re also likely to value price over everything else.

He’s such a bland bleakly boring person that he’d only show an improvement in character if he had a beanie hat.
