Sort of thinking out loud (online) a bit about my Straight Outta Donuts chocolate testers.

I got to thinking that I could maybe zero in a bit better by comparing the colors of my testers with Rose's pic,

I started leaning towards favoring my darker testers but then I got to thinking how long that bottle has been around - what if it has oxidized some from age?

So I found a couple of video reviews from shortly after SOD was released and tried to screenshot images of the liquid,

The second one might not look very helpful but was near enough the color of the first one when viewing the video.

So comparing fresh SOD with my choc testers.

it looks like I should be able to rule some out going with the assumption that a chocolate flavoring is the predominant one in the mix. Could probably narrow it down to two, ...if...
I even have the correct choc in my lineup.

Granted, additional flavoring could account for some of the golden hue of the fresh SOD liquid so maybe all the lighter ones might still be in play.
The lightest colored ones are all TPA and Rose has tried some of them I believe.

Lighter colors, right to left,
Milk Chocolate
Double Chocolate Clear
Bittersweet Chocolate
Fudge Brownie

    Looks like it should be a light color. I agree.

    All this talk of football. I am not a fan of fb but it reminded me of a recent conversation I had with another ecf member. I was telling him that my x bil recently died. He played with the Bears in the golden years with Gale Sayers and Brian P. Major didn't play for too many years due to injuries but he was the talk of our family at the time. They were something in the late '60's and early '70's.

    Well @gloopdegurp that isn't exactly correct on the coloring. The pic I showed you is accurate but remember I said they reformulated it and it was much lighter, almost clear later on? So my first pic is accurate of the first batch and the pic below it is accurate for the reformulation.

    I think I might have some of their one shot somewhere and I will take a pic if I find it. That would show the flavoring without the nic, vg and pg.

    Thank you, Rose.
    I did remember that you said the color changed at some point but thought that these reviews might be right after release as they were from January and February 2016.

    At the rate I'm going I hope you get lucky and find a big stash of the one shot!

    The 3 on the right are all too light. The 4th from the right is close to the 2nd batch and the ones on the left are closer to 1st batch. If I ever get around to it, I will sft all of my choc flavors and I now have almost every one released. Should be able to narrow it down.

    Thanks for taking the time to do this.

    Oh, you're most welcome, Rose, I'm happy to try and help figure this out.
    I just wish I was better at it and not so easily distracted by new mix ideas!
