Topic: Chocolate vs. Vanilla Ice Cream Claim: Vanilla ice cream is better than chocolate ice cream. Evidence for Claim Point #1: Vanilla is an essential flavor, with classic, creamy flavors, created using natural ingredients such as vanilla bean extract. Point #2: Vanilla is the perfect sundae base because you can add fruit, nuts, syrup, fudge, as your preference inclines. Whether you like strawberries, peanuts, butterscotch, or chocolate, vanilla can fit anyone’s tastes. Point #3: Vanilla typically contains less sugar and is healthier than chocolate based ice cream because the sugar it does contain is natural as opposed to artificial or refined sugar. Possible Counterclaim to Your Side of the Argument: Vanilla is a “boring” flavor that must have other ingredients added to make it taste good. Your Counterclaim to the Other Side of the Argument: Chocolate is not as good as vanilla as the base of a sundae because chocolate does not taste good with any topping, which makes it less universal or versatile. Rebuttal: Vanilla is the most versatile flavor of ice cream and because of this reason it is the most popular flavor purchased; chocolate is not even in the top 3! Strongest Piece of Evidence (Save this for last to really hammer in your point) Point #4: “According to a recent survey of International Ice Cream Association member companies, vanilla remains the most popular flavor among their consumers at 28%. Mint chocolate chip and cookies and cream are the next two most popular flavors.” ................
