Good evening. Work was ok today. I’m feeling pretty worn out tonight but the weather is nice and I’m sure the dog would like a walk.
I dislike Walmart too, but I don't have a lot of options. In addition to the local grocery store, there's only one other store that I have to choose from, Tom Thumb, and I dislike it as much as Walmart. I do get some prescriptions filled there, but that's about it. I find if I don't have to go into the grocery store, I'm fine. Now if I could find someone to unload and put away the groceries, I'd be elated.
I've loaded it into my tank and will give you my initial impressions. I need to vape it awhile for decent thoughts on it. Like others have said, there very little strawberry in it, but the champagne flavor is better than some flavors' plain champagne. I once tried a strawberry champagne from DIY Flavorshack and that was good. The strawberry was actually present, but didn't overwhelm the champagne. This may need the lightest touch of an additional strawberry.
Same here. It's been closer to a decade for me. I won't even buy stuff online from them. 100% avoid.
I rank them about the same as I did Kmart.
I have a little question regarding Sweetener?? Is it's purpose only to make a mix a bit sweeter and is it a good thing or a bad thing to add to a mix?
I feel bad for inner city folks living in food deserts. They do deserve much better. Much much better.
Name any major city in the US, and their inner city is a food desert. For some their only option is buying from high-priced corner stores or to travel quite the distance to food stores.
I do understand the why large local, regional and national chains have left the inner cities.
And that is 100% due to the USA's long and disgusting discriminatory racist history. A history I despise 100%.

How long before a thread with no activity locks?
The Recipes for Dummies - Deja Vu thread's last post was June 4th.
I don't have anything that I feel is good enough* to contribute at the moment but I like the idea of it and hope that it doesn't die off though I guess that the lack of activity there means it isn't really in demand.
* In hindsight, my offering there really wasn't as good as I thought when I posted it.

Some use them to make their mixes sweeter. Some use sweeteners at 0.25% - 0.5% to help mixes blend together better. Some swear a little in their recipes make mixes "pop".
I've seen some use them at ridiculous percentages, in those cases they are band-aids, covering up poor mixes. And very honestly, that's because the mixer doesn't know their flavors or understand how to mix.
Some folks use them in every mix. Some people have a major sweet tooth and love overly sweetened juices.
I have all the popular ones. Rarely use them. When I do it's to help a mix blend together and never over 0.5%.
Many flavors, especially fruits, already have "X" amount of sweetness in them.
Sweeteners aren't a good thing or a bad thing really. They are a DIY tool, and as with any tool, it comes down to how they are used.
If you want to know how a sweetener will work with your mango mixes, try one. I would recommend CAP Super Sweet, and starting at 0.25%. I see CAP SS used in a good number of mixes on ELR and ATF. Another good one is FLV Sweetness. I would only use that one at 1 drop per 10ml.
Too much in any mix WILL kill that mix - - - 100% true.
It's all personal preferences Mate.

Thank you, SMT!
After I posted I thought, " Duh, use the search function!"
I just started to do that but your reply has saved some of my "valuable" time!
Seems to be a good thing for some folks but since I do not like sweet mixes I never use any.
I used to use cap super sweet when a recipe called for it but now just leave it out unless I think it really needs it. Anything over .5% is definitely a no for me.
I have to travel 15 miles to go to the crappy grocery stores I shop at. If I wanted to go to a good one it's nearly an hour.
