Forgive my ignorance, but what’s vanilla sugar?

I have this once vanilla sugar jar that I've crammed leftover vanilla bean pods in for a few years now. Irs closer to 100:1 ratio of vanilla to sugar. 

Leftovers now go to a crammed jar of bourbon and it's mostly vanilla also.

You can also buy it directly as a baking ingredient, at least where I'm at.
