Context and quality is key

If the ice cream is cheap and shitty, neither flavor will be good. But honestly I like vanilla and chocolate together. They're nice complimentary flavors.

well, since taste is subjective and you're looking for an objective measure, I'm just going to judge on other grounds! I suspect that the vanilla industry is less bad for the environment and has a better track record with labor violations, so vanilla is better.

Now, I didn't research that first, and I could definitely be wrong... but at least it's something one can actually be wrong about.

The best one is obectively the one you like the most.

It has been scientifically proven chocolate is the better flavour. My source? Don’t worry about it.

I dislike drinking/eating vanilla on it's own. I like drinking/eating chocolate.

Comparison of excellent quality vanilla vs excellent quality chocolate should leave you with the takeaway that both are excellent. you may have a preference for one over the other but that’s hardly objective

My personal preference shifts based on mood and (more so) based on quality. Excellent chocolate bar vs budget ice cream that uses vanillin instead of actual vanilla beans? Probably the chocolate unless I’m searching for that nostalgic artificial vanilla flavor. A shitty chocolate snack cake with like 2% actual chocolate and 98% palm oil vs a well made panna cotta? Going vanilla.

I don't know why this was downvoted so much. It's an honest question. But anyways, I'll go for chocolate because chocolate can go with mint.

I like both. I can't decide on one

vanilla is a lot more versatile in my day to day life. Of the two id say chocolate would be less jarring if it disappeared from my life.

I'm gonna go chocolate. Certain things I prefer vanilla though. Like vanilla fudge is the shit. But ice cream I'm going chocolate.
