Plenty PL'ing ahead
I'm confused why you're confused. What is shocking about birthday cake ice cream?
I am NOT an American, so let me weigh in: What the hell is "birthday cake" flavor?? I've attended plenty of birthday parties, I've tasted plenty of birthday cakes. I've had chocolate birthday cake, strawberry birthday cake, vanilla birthday cake, hell, even mango birthday cake. What I'm saying is, why use such a vague and non-informative name to describe your ice-cream flavor?

Which leads me to this remark:
It's probably a lot less inexplicable to non-Americans than, say, root beer.
In fact, I'd say that root beer is more explicable to me, a non-American, since every time I've had it, I know to expect the same exact thing (EDIT: or at least something similar to other root beers). Sure, it was a bit of a mystery to me as to HOW exactly the flavor was derived, but it's not like the flavor of something like coca-cola is anything less a mystery. And it's not like it's limited to modern foods either: it was a mystery to me how the hell people managed to render fish and soyabeans into fish sauce and soya sauce respectively (which taste nothing like plain fish or soyabeans either).

I never have, although I have seen people use taquitos or mini burritos instead of tortilla chips for a "lazy enchilada" recipe.

I would suggest to just skip making that mess and just go for a solid chilaquiles recipe instead.
My lazy enchilada is just stacking the tortillas flat in a casserole and layering everything like a lasagna. A quarter of the work and still fuckin delicious.

Vanilla buttercream frosting.

What swill have you been drinking? Saying root beer is a uniform flavor is like chicken and beef do too, because they're both meats.

Any cake can be a birthday cake, but in practice, "birthday cake" flavor means it tastes like cloying artificial vanilla and preservatives, on purpose, and may have multicolored sprinkle bits.

I'm annoyed at "birthday cake" flavor becoming ubiquitous too, because it sucks and it's a duplicate of vanilla, just worse. Alas, for the days of "pistachio" being one of the default dessert flavors.

When kettle corn first started gaining popularity, I assumed it would replace caramel corn in the sweetened-corn niche, and I was glad because caramel corn is pretty sickly. Instead, there are greatly fewer varieties of cheese flavored popcorn available, but kettle corn and caramel corn! Popcorn is already a carbohydrate; stop putting sugar on it ya turds.
 
I was talking about actually following the recipe and posting it here. It's a $20 waste of food though.
I would be interested in how it turns out; His 'enchiladas' always seemed like a silly way to make something called 'tamale pie' except with crushed up corn chips instead of cornmeal. Would suggest cutting the recipe 1/4 to 1/2; as cooked on the video it's at least 15,000 calories.

So why the FUCK can't they just call it "vanilla buttercream (with sprinkles)" flavor?! This is why I don't like it being called what it is.

Agreed, salted popcorn is nice. Lower calories than chips if ya dont drown it in butter.

I am sorry, being non-american I have access to fewer brands of it than you americans do, or so I would assume. The brands that do ship to where I am are presumably also the larger commercial brands.
 
I've honestly never had one of these for my birthdays growing up.
I guess I was very lucky and had a decent childhood. That looks so sweet it's type 97375 diabetes.
What's worse is it's made with fake vanilla flavor so you get that strange cherry / almond taste with it that only comes from fake vanilla.

It's because "Birthday Cake" flavor is a rather recent thing like in the last 10 years it's been it's own thing that a lot of people liked as it evoked memories from childhood. Personally the only time I got a birthday cake flavored cake was when I went to a friend's birthday. My Mom always made cakes from scratch.

Holy shit this retard is still alive?
The Wendigo inside him is just animating him like a puppet at this point.

I swear that I am the only person who doesn't like birthday cake
No trust me, you're not alone.

It's something inoffensive that kids like and manchildren like Jagoff.

Americans from the 70's probably would, but not Americans now days. The culinary landscape has changed quite a lot here.

Now that I think about it (because I always just registered it as "abomination that must be destroyed)... What type of food course was Aunt Myrna's Party Cheese Salad even supposed to cater to, anyway? I would think dessert because pineapple and Cool Whip, but then it's got celery and bell peppers that make it more main course. Appetizer, I guess?

I would say appetizer as well. There's fruit jello foods with vegetables that are eaten as an appetizer. There's a lot wrong with aunt Myrna's party cheese salad though, too many ingredients that don't meld well together. There are fruit and vegetable combos that go well together, but what's in that dish isn't it.
