I've been forgetting to ask this-- Has anyone ever ordered a flavor and it was off or not as good as you know it is?

About 6 months ago I re-upped Butterscotch Ripple from BCF. When I started mixing with it I could not taste butterscotch and just assumed it was me. I even posted about possibly not being able to taste butterscotch anymore.

During my last mixing session I ran out, so when I was mixing the other day I opened a new bottle of Butterscotch Ripple. Immediately upon trying it I was getting that really nice decadent butterscotch flavor I was originally familiar with.

Hey look, a tree:

Wow, a tree!!! :D I never saw one before.

I’ve never had a problem with Butterscotch Ripple. Haven’t bought any in a while as I last bought a Big bottle.

Dolphins played a good game last night. I’ve always felt that taking away Lamar Jackson’s ability to run would reveal a rather pedestrian looking QB. Dolphins executed the blueprint excellently. If other teams can reproduce that then the Ravens are in serious trouble.

    Somewhere between here and there
    Hope the rest of the day goes smoothly.

    Me too. I don't have high hopes though. We are short a couple people. I just covered the phones and counter so a guy could get lunch time undisturbed.

    Hello, stranger :wub:
    Hi Fran!!! :wub: We were away visiting my younger brother up in Minneapolis. It was a spur of the moment kinda trip. We had fun. He was gonna give me a bunch of my flavors back, told him to keep them. Besides I very likely bought replacements already. I needed to leave Minneapolis in order to beat the SNOW they're getting. Happy I made it before the snow started falling. This is from earlier today up that way...

    We're supposed to get some snow here possibly this afternoon and then again on Sunday. It won't stick though cuz the ground is still too warm. But... soon it will stick! Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. :lol: :lol:

    C'mon man, us Miami kids don't know about all this changin colors and sub 70 weather stuff.. Can you imagine my reaction when I saw "Christmas trees" growing in everyone's yard in Boston?

    Dolphin defense finally showed up... and that's what I loved about them last year. If our defense plays like that every week, man it's going to be tough for any team to do well. I really liked what I saw last night... guys just flying to the ball. It was such a fun game to watch. Hopefully we work on that offensive line in the off season. Tua did what he could under the circumstances...

    It wasn't a fun game for me to watch. Hats off to the Dolphins, I had no idea their defense was that good.

    I’m trying the OOO creamy today at 11 days and have failed to create that very good creamy taste I got the first time. I’m going to try it over the next several days and see if I can find it.
    What do your notes say from when you first tested OOO Creamy and it was good?

    Sorry, I can't help you locate a "lost" tasting flavor. Wouldn't even know where to begin looking. ;) Maybe your "taster" was just having a great day back then! :D

    Notes have yummy. I know it steeped longer than what I just tried it at so I'm going to try it daily and hoping to catch the yummy again. Not sure that's going to happen but got fingers crossed.

    Don't worry brother, y'all will bounce back. It may not show up statistic wise, but the Dolphin defense when they are on are probably the best league wide. They play a disruptive defense that's hard to deal with.. It's our offense that kills us.

    Here is one of my new recipes, been vaping this for a few days. I like it. @Zazie can you please add this to your Blog? TIA. :)

    Banana Coconut Smoothie

    WF Vanilla Ice Cream 2%
    VTA Soy Milk 1.5%
    WF Frozen Yogurt 1.3%
    PUR Banana 1.5%
    SSA Ripe Coconut 1%

    PUR Banana, not much I can say about it, it is one of the better banana flavors. It's a realistic ripe tasting banana with light green notes on the backside. SSA Ripe Coconut is truly an awesome coconut flavor. There is nothing fake about it, very realistic coconut. @sessiondrummer is spot on with his review of SSA coconut.

    The banana and coconut could be pushed out front further (if desired). If doing so, I would recommend bumping the banana to 1.75% and the coconut to 1.25% to start.

    The smoothie base on it's own is tasty (WF VIC, VTA SM, WF FY). I am pleased with how well they layered. Adding either a cake, cookie, graham or croissant (either one of my bases) would work nicely for building a more complex tasting base. If a pie crust were used one would have a fine start for a creamy pie base. Adding a nut, like FA Walnut (or perhaps a hazelnut), would work. As is, the basic smoothie base will work well with any fruit. :)
