Another way to put it is "they offer chocolate or vanilla", and another is "they offer chocolate and vanilla" - both sentences mean the same thing.
A agree with most of your post... except this. To my mind, there's a small difference in nuance: if you said "At Tastee Delite, they offer chocolate or vanilla", I would assume you could have either chocolate or vanilla in a cone. If you said "... they offer chocolate and vanilla", I would assume you could have either chocolate or vanilla OR a swirly combination of the two flavors. Mmm, soft ice cream... I wonder if I have time to get some today...
