    So cute!!! I would be camped on the floor playing with him. And training. Border Collies want to learn new things all the time.

    I love border collies. I wish I lived in a place that allowed pets. I'd get me a border collie so fast. They are so smart and easy to train. They do need a lot of activity though. I'd take him to the park and let him herd the ducks.

    When the SSA Ice Creams were so hard to find in stock in the US in April, I placed a NomNomz order and got 1 10 mL of 1 and 1 30mL bottle of the other. But, because they were the only place to get the Premium Custard, and many on here had raved about it...I also added and got (2) 100mL bottles of it. I haven't even tried it yet though! ;) I hope I end up liking it.
    I'm worried about my 100mls... comes from the EU and if the current situation gets worse there won't be any in stock :D

    @classwife - I ordered the 100mL one that many here were ordering (in 30mL and 100mL bottles), back in April from Nom Nomz. So I posted that 1 to you, too. I didn't know Charlie had bought the FA one elsewhere in multiple 10mL bottles that equaled 100mLs. See...I knew I shouldn't have jumped in there and posted. ;)

    The FA branded one is only available in 10mL bottles on Nom Nomz. Someone on here said they checked with Nom Nomz and the Premium Custard IS the FA Custard Premium...just renamed and rebottled so they could sell it in larger quantities, and since the FA Custard Premium is not available in the US at all.

    Maybe some others who've bought it will jump in and verify that's what they bought from Nom Nomz, too.

    The FA branded one is only available in 10mL bottles on Nom Nomz. Someone on here said they checked with Nom Nomz and the Premium Custard IS the exact same flavoring as the FA Custard Premium...just renamed and rebottled so they could sell it in larger quantities.

    Ah... interesting. I always stay away from rebottled as I always think that they might be weaker but a lot here seem to be ok with them. Has anyone ever had absolute confirmation that they're the same as the originals??

    Regarding the Premium Custard...I remember someone posting in April, or earlier, that they'd checked with Nom Nomz about it. I also remember there were at least a couple flavorings that Chef's sells...that were renamed and rebottled for a similar reason as the Premium Custard.

    As far as rebottled flavorings in general - Many, if not most, flavoring vendors buy flavorings by the gallon from the manufacturer, and rebottle them into the various sized smaller bottles. That way they can have their vendor name on the label, as well as the manufacturer's name. I know for certain that OSDIY does that...with their TFA, CAP, FW, FA, etc. flavorings.

    It does come up in Google.

    that is also linked by the OP in POTV

    Not seeing any challenges to it.

    Thank you.....I'm still think its a bit dubious though, mind you I think I remember someone saying that rebottled didn't seem weaker.....
    Only way is to try it I suppose.

    Yes...what I don't get is usually in this sort of situation it'll most often be the original manufacturer who bottles and labels the rebranded product. Otherwise there's too much risk of them losing their market share due to inferior products.

    But hey....what do I know :)

    Thanks Hitt....I was hoping for a bit more of a description but unless I get it I'll just have to go with the flirting rice pudding thing :D

    Yeah, I know it doesn’t tell you much. I understand why they do that is so people have a harder time cloning their one shots.
