You bet. I just noticed @Rin13 has one posted at ELR...

Bird Brains v1000
3% Berry (Crunch) Cereal (TPA)
0.5% Biscuit (INAWERA)
1% Cake (Yellow) (FW)
0.5% Cream (Milky Undertone) (OOO)
1% French Vanilla Creme (TPA)
0.25% Fruit Circles (TPA)
2.75% Silly Rabbit (TPA)
0.25% Sweet Cream (TPA)
0.75% Vanilla Bean Gelato (TPA)
Flavor total: 10%

It's got a single 1-star rating. You didn't like it, Rin?

Wow! 10 flavorings in 1 and 9 in the other! I've only made 1 recipe with what I thought was a lot of flavorings. It only had 7 in it. :)
Well, I've seen worse...heck I've done worse. Repeatedly!

Back to cases, there's Bird Brains the easy way (courtesy Gologo140 @ ELR):
2.5% Berry (Crunch) Cereal (TPA)
3% Cream Fresh (FA)
2% DX Bavarian Cream (TPA)
7% Fruit Circles (TPA)
2% Marshmallow (FA)
1.5% Sweet Cream (TPA)
Flavor total: 18%

Then there's Bird Brains from YouTube (A.K.A. The Real Easy Way):
8% Fruit Rings (FW)
2% Meringue (FA)
Flavor total: 10%

Pick yer poison, as they say. I can't venture a real opinion about any of them, but knowing Cuttwood, it's probably a closer match with one of the complex ones. :)

That would have been someone else rating it... I don't rate my own stuff. Lol. And I don't make public recipes that are crap.
Not sure why the 1 star...

Bird brains is essentially fruity COPYRIGHTDMCA.. with milk from what I recall. Very similar to Fruit loops recipes but with berry crunch cereal added. Fruit circles at 7% is a bit much though. I can't do that flavor higher than 2%. Otherwise, I get Lysol.

So do you recommend your recipe? I'm happy to buy the flavors if you tried it and liked it[emoji4]

I could tell it certainly wouldn't be disgusting! You probably got dinged by a fan who thought you didn't use enough flavoring. Or maybe it was a mouse-click accident. It's not nice to rate low without commenting!

I felt the same way, and even worse about the YouTube recipe. I'm pretty sure 8% FW Fruit Rings would make that into a perfect Lemon Pledge Meringue pie.

I'd go with Rin's, myself, but you have to remember I'm biased towards using lower flavoring levels. I'm sure I'd like it just fine, especially since I never tried the retail version! I don't have TFA Fruit Rings, but I could substitute the FW version since she calls for only 0.25% (or just drop it and bump Silly Rabbit to 3%), and I don't have the One-on-one Cream, but a half-point of FA Fresh Cream would probably sub it nicely.

Yeah, I don't know. That recipe is fairly old. I don't really pay attention to ratings. If I like a recipe, I share it. I'm picky as hell.
Yep... but Fresh Cream may need a steep

I liked it, yes. But some of the flavors can be sub'd IMO... I Sub half the crap I use when basing something off of someone else's recipe. Fruit Circles of some sort is necessary... Berry Crunch is helpful... the creams don't much matter as long as it's something you like. You're looking for a sweet milk note there.

@VapeLuvr - you could try this one from Black Axis. I liked it when I was buying at retail. Do please bear in mind I never tried Bird Brains....

Milkmaid

That's a much better price! I may just have to check that out and realize it's ok to not diy every single one of my juices. I feel like with diy, it's a lot like cooking and just because you can cook well, doesn't mean you don't like someone else doing the cooking occasionally!
