Maybe it's some sort of trinary AP style?

You're no doubt correct, but it's possible the others are all equal-first. A pedant could also argue for banding of the rankings....

It looks like someone put an unsourced claim that Rocky Road was "second only to vanilla in popularity in the United States", then someone put in a 'reference needed' tag, then someone else found a reference showing that it was tenth and added the more sarcastic version. Right now the article says it was 'recently ranked tenth in the United States'. Good old Wikipedia!

Would you believe I stumbled on this in trying to remember if there's a shorter expression than patates kızartması? That just seems like way too many syllables for something so essential.

Isn't it neapolitan?

And what's wrong with Jesika Grainger's love?

I think you're right, but that's the way it was.

And her love has coconut in it.
