Chick-Fil-A’s Cookies And Cream Milkshake

Chick-Fil-A's Cookies And Cream Milkshake

My only complaint with this Chick-Fil-A Milkshake is that the Cookies, which taste like Oreos, consist of such tiny bits. I understand it’s considered a beverage, but they also give you a spoon. It’s a tasty treat either way; the whipped cream and cherry topping also adds a touch of elegance; but a chunky version, with big fat cookies you have to chew down, would be even better.

BeanVivo Brown Sugar Baked Beans

BeanVivo Brown Sugar Baked Beans

It’s hard to go wrong with Brown Sugar Baked Beans, but BeanVivo sort of does. Never mind the fact that they smell like prunes. The taste, specifically the spices in the sauce, leaves a lot to be desired. Their one saving grace is the sweetness of the Sugar itself. The organic ingredients list is also otherwise impressively healthy.

Buckin Buffalo Black Beans

Buckin Buffalo Black Beans

It’s not really the Black Beans that are the problem here. Neither is it the “medium heat” brought on by the addition of “real aged cayenne peppers”. It’s the tangy taste of the sauce, which, given an impressively short ingredients list; “No high fructose corn syrup” and the like; the culprit of must be the vinegar.

Van Leeuwen French Ice Cream : Buttermilk Berry Cornbread

Van Leeuwen French Ice Cream : Buttermilk Berry Cornbread

This is Buttermilk ice cream with “pieces of honey cornbread”. They should’ve stopped there or perhaps added strawberries. Raspberries are one of my least favorite fruits, but their presence only prevents this from being the delicacy it could’ve been. It’s still damn good as is, especially when you let it melt a little.

A Shoc Energy : Orange Freeze

A Shoc Energy : Orange Freeze

A sip of this Energy drink will at first be off-putting if you’re expecting the taste of a Creamsicle bar. It is supposed to be based on those, but it just tastes like a cold Orange. The concept can be enhanced, however, by putting it in the Freezer until little ice crystals form. On a hot summer day, it’s certainly better that way.
