So, even if you prefer mint over vanilla and are sitting there enjoying your ice cream bothering no one, screw you. They aren't going to ask you and other mint ice cream enjoyers how the flavor could be improved, they are going to ask vanilla enjoyers what it would take for them to try mint more often. So they dilute the mint, and it doesn't work, because they inevitably switch back to straight vanilla, because duh, they prefer vanilla. So you just have shit mint.
And eventually, you end up with the flavour that offends no-one, and pleases no-one: just plain ice. Frozen water.
