    Was reading a thread about the Mystery Flavor elsewhere and they have it narrowed down to WF Pitaya (Fruit)(SC).
    The plot thickens! I have that flavor and don't think I ever got around to trying it. I think it came in a flavor pack I ordered.

    If so, WF Pitaya is actually dragon fruit. I have it, it is a good flavor and also a fairly decent representation of real dragon fruit.

    Dragon fruit (pitaya) is not a member of the citrus family.

    When ripe, dragon fruit has a mildly sweet flavor often described as a blend of pear and kiwi, and a soft texture similar to a ripe kiwi. They're excellent, we buy them when we're able. You eat the flesh and discard the skin.

    FWIW...

    In Israel, where the fruit is commercially grown and being imported into the U.S., the growers like to call it “pitaya” or “pitahaya,” while the Vietnamese growers label theirs “dragon fruit.” So, whether you see them called pitaya, pitahaya, or dragon fruit, they are all basically the same fruit. Dragon fruit are also native to Mexico, Central and South America.

    :greengrin:

    ETA: BCF's page for WF Pitaya (Fruit) shows a photo of dragon fruit. ;)

    He still thinking bad gas?

    Hope you have no problems with the truck.


    Yeah, bad gas and not the kind Gas-X will take care of. I did buy some STP gas treatment and some fuel injection cleaner for it. The previous tank of gas that I had purchased, I accidently bought E85. The engine is a Flex-fuel, so that gas shouldn't have hurt it, but I wonder if that was the cause of my problems. I don't like ethanol fuel because the low mileage per gallon more than eats away at any savings on its cost. I did have regular gas in the tank when all this occurred, but there was still some residual of the E85.

    If you got water in the tank it'll have to come out through the drain plug (if they still have those), and keep filling it up until it runs normally. I have had this.

    Hopefully, the issue has resolved. My brother drove it for a good bit and I drove it home today. So far, no further problems. (I'd say knock on wood if I believed in that, but I don't. )

    Good morning. We didn't get home until about 9 last night so I've had no time at home to relax the last two nights and am back at work already. My lawn really needs mowed tonight so I'll do that then hopefully take it easy after that.

    My job for today got postponed so I had time to do three more mixes this morning. (only had three tester bottles ready to mix!)
    Peaches/cream/custard/dash of malted milk
    Attempt at a white cream filled powdered doughnut
    Custard/Dulce de Leche/p.b./v. butternut/br. sugar

    About 60 testers in the drawer now.

    I think that I might need to vape a little faster...:vapor::vapor::vapor:
