Thanks for your input, Haze:) Seems that all our tastebuds are way varied on PG. It shouldn't be a surprise.
Hey Fran. I got a reply from Essential Depot rep. First off, she offered to send me 2 replacement bottles direct. Biopharm offered me a $ refund. But back to Essential Depot.....the rep said that usually the PG has a slightly sweet taste BUT not necessarily all the time. I thought that was interesting. Because it was an Amazon Buyer/Seller messaging service I really didn't want to go further in the conversation because I was just happy about the 2 free bottles direct from Essential Depot. I suppose I could get more technical in an email with her but until then I'd like to see what these 2 bottles bring. I hope that suffices for your curiosity for now. Personally, I'm getting tired of all these messages back and forth with all of them and just want to get on with my mixing. Fingers crossed and I'll be mixing something no matter what!

Don't show @Letitia - she would make a more realistic rat snot ejuice ;)
Was eyeing NF parsley a couple weeks ago. I have tasted one of the OOO chilis, actually pretty good. Had Gypsy send her leftovers from the savory challenge, thinking chili lime something and Mexican mocha coffee mixes.

between here and there
I have vta blueberry jam but don’t have cap.
I have not tried the Vt version. Once i discovered Caps I didn't look any farther. I often mix it with Fa bilberry or a boysenberry. Yum. To me there is a slight sweetness but nothing I would consider to be too much. Its very rare for me to even use a sweetener, i let the natural flavoring do its stuff. Lol. Ymmv

:)

    Good morning to all you random folks:) I'm kinda amazed I haven't even been tempted to get into the 20 mixes I brought to my daughter's. I made up my mind that I'm not even going to look at the recipes for these mixes. Too much temptation if I do that. I have 2 sft's and 4 new mixes at home. I do not NEED any more mixes but I have 3-4 recipes at home that I WANT to mix. I even made a tiny order to BCF to get the Avocado flavor I need for 2 of the recipes.

    Somewhere between here and there
    I am so sick of car problems with my daughter's car. Of course she didn't say anything until my wife drove it last night and asked how long her front brake had been making this odd noise. Back to the shop it goes since it started the day after we picked it up last week. I told her if it just needs brakes to bring it home and I'll do it tonight.

    Constant car problems suck. My daughter got tired of hers and bought a new Subaru. Too many bells and whistles to go wrong on the Subaru SUV
    and she made sure she bought the 7-year warranty also.

    I feel your pain. It took 4 trips to the dealer for me to resolve issues. In my younger days I would have traded it while waiting for the work to be done but the dealer here in the country mostly has trucks and I don't want an F 450 lol.

    Years ago I went to check my daughter's fluid levels on her car. When I checked the oil there was hardly any in it. On further inspection I realized the oil had leaked out due to a gasket failure where the fuel pump was. It would have been a very easy fix if my daughter hadn't kept driving it that way.

    When I asked her about it she told me, "yeah it was making a strange noise in the front and I had to turn the volume up on the radio so I could hear it". It wasn't funny at the time, but I laugh about it now. She's 29 years old and still gets a little annoyed after all these years when I ask, "do you need daddy to check your oil?"

    I can see where that wouldn't be funny at all at the time.

    Nah, not willing to drive 3 hours for another Ford dealer. Besides, they will still have mostly trucks, it is a southern and rural thing.

    7% of the Banana Nut Bread is probably very sweet? TFA Kentucky Bourbon is sweet. You could switch to a plain Bourbon.
