Plain vanilla

Last updated

Plain vanilla is an adjective describing the simplest version of something, without any optional extras, basic or ordinary, [1] in analogy with the common ice cream flavour vanilla, which became widely and cheaply available with the development of artificial vanillin flavour. [2] Certain financial instruments, such as put options or call options, are often described as plain vanilla options. The opposite of plain vanilla options are exotic options. [3] {{
