I meant to ask you girls of this was the Stuff you were talking about. The place I went to get the glazed donut had it, this place is expensive, and I saw this and thought of you. They had teenie weenie ones too that were like $5, otherwise I would've grabbed one.

Giant had some interesting looking creamers! Anyone try either of these?
[/quote]
There’s a chocolate one I’ve tried plus the Caramel one. They are really good - but very sweet. I think sweeter than the regular Coffee Mate creamers. If I remember right, the calories are higher too. Something like 50 calories compared to 35 for their others (that may be off as I’m going by my memory lol).2 -

If anyone here likes soda this is 1000x better in my opinion. Zero calories but still plenty sweet without weird aftertastes. I can’t stop buying them!
Does it taste like any particular soda?
I don’t really drink soda often enough to say, I just assume any carbonated beverage is soda-like
I went to Wegmans AND Giant today... no new Enlightened flavors and not even any new Arctic Zero Light Ice Cream pints! I’m about to give up, seriously, I feel like once I stop looking I’ll find it.
However, Wegmans had lemon Nilla wafer cookies which caught my attention and Giant had some interesting looking creamers! Anyone try either of these?
I remember someone asking me earlier to take a picture of the ice cream next time I’m there, but Wegmans has three entire aisles of ice cream where I live, so I felt a little self conscious taking a picture of everything haha x3 I can’t remember who asked for it, but is there a specific section you want to see?
They actually have the lemon Nilla wafers at my 99 cents store across the street,think I'll try a box today! Those creamers are ok but have more calories than regular ones I think they contain buttermilk? I tried them once but don't think I'll get them again3 -

I've been looking for the NILLAS ... AND THE DAMN CREAMER !! CANT FIND THEM ANYWHERE3 -
I’m biting my tongue on this one. I normally hate pea protein, but Starbucks did a REALLY good job on this!!! Very dark chocolatey, thick, creamy, and rich. Notes of banana and absolutely delicious around PMS. However, I forgot it’s supposed to be a “Doubleshot Coffee” smoothie because it doesn’t taste like coffee whatsoever to me.

Saw this display at HEB and thought of this thread:
I picked up the Sour Heads flavor. It’s sweet and sour and delicious.6 -

That is one SERIOUS flavor selection - I'm jealous! Not the best sale though... I think it beats what I was paying at the Vitamin Shoppe but when I went to GNC yesterday they were only $2.10 per can... I'm hoping that wasn't a sale, because that was a really good price!3 -
Yeah, I was thinking that it doesn't seem like a sale at all, but it's comparable to what I'd pay for a Monster, so I didn't mind the cost all that much. I'd never make a regular purchase of it, just because I can't justify consistently spending that much on a drink, but for an every once in a while thing, I'd do it. They did have a ton of flavors. I was tempted by the Blue Razz and the Cotton Candy, but finally settled on the Sour Heads.2

You NEED to try the cotton candy!!!! It's even better! I bet blue razz would be delicious, too.... I didn't even see that flavor at Vitamin Shoppe or GNC when I was there... did they have this in a caffeine free version? Quite frankly, I had the caffeinated version once and it's definitely not something my body can handle! I am VERY caffeine sensitive! That being said, that Starbucks "DoubleShot Coffee" smoothie bottle I reviewed above didn't taste like coffee NOR give me any sort of rush whatsoever!!!! If it had caffeine, it was probably equivalent to a cup of decaf -.-1 -
The only decaffeinated one I noticed was the sour heads flavor (they had both caffeinated and caffeine free in that flavor). I'm planning on staying up late tonight, so I was looking for a boost. I'm definitely going to try cotton candy next time I pick one up. They also had one called purple haze that seemed interesting - I'm hoping that one tastes like grape soda, which I love.
I don't do Starbucks' bottled coffee drinks precisely for the reason you describe - not enough coffee flavor AND barely any caffeine. I like the taste of coffee; that's why I drink it every day.

Thank you for recommending these!! I tried the cotton candy and the pina colada. LOVEEEE the cotton candy! And WOW the pina colada was really, really good as well! Almost had a creamy texture to it. I want to try the sour heads one.3 -
I just did a store locator for these bang drinks and it only showed one place in 25 miles, doesn't say the name only a spot on a map which when I zoomed in was in the middle of a park? Wtf...3

Thanks for the picture!1 -
@kellyjellybellyjelly So for the hell of it I just did a search of jenis at my local wegmans. Look at fhis price. Huge difference than that store I was at yesterday. Even huge from the pic above. For that I will try some. I will get it tomorrow. What flavor should I try?

Oh my goodness... I'm dying to try some other flavors now - it's just so hard to buy them and NOT spend every penny on cotton candy!!!

Since you sent me that Reese's bar I still owe you one! If you want me to ship you two of these let me know which flavors you want
I've only seen the cotton candy and sour heads caffeine free versions, but for the regular caffeinated varieties I've seen black cherry and purple haze, too!
Also, I remember a couple years back some of us were caught up on Smart Cakes. I never did get around to trying their buns although I know some of you here have. I remember trying the coconut, cinnamon, and I swear a lemon flavored cake (although they have tangerine instead now) and I really liked them! Figured I would post this in case anyone still ordered them! I'm a little tempted to place an order, free shipping without minimum requirements is always something I have a hard time turning down!

It is $7.99 at my local Wegmans in PA. I'm kind of jealous.2 -
Working my way through some more of the Jeni's pints I picked up this week.
Rainbow Buttermilk frozen yogurt is amazing, as are all of Jeni's frozen yogurts that I've tried so far. This one has passionfruit, raspberry, and key lime in it. You can taste all of them, but the key lime flavor is most predominant. This tastes like rainbow sherbet, if it were the most premium rainbow sherbet but in a frozen yogurt form that's dense and texturally like ice cream. Jeni's frozen yogurt is closer to ice cream in all ways, including its calorie content. A 1/2 cup serving of this weighs 93 grams, which is close to premium ice cream density, and clocks in at 203 calories. Totally worth it though!
Jeni's Gooey Butter Cake ice cream has a cream cheese ice cream base with cake pieces and a caramel butterscotch sauce swirl. This one sounded promising, but it wasn't quite as successful. This is the second cream cheese ice cream I've had and the taste just doesn't work for me. The gooey butter cake pieces were delicious, but the caramel butterscotch swirl was almost non-existent. As a comparison to the frozen yogurt, a 93 gram 1/2 cup serving of Gooey Butter Cake ice cream is 270 calories.2 -

They cancelled my order and didn't email me
I'd suggest everyone who did the free sample cookie thing check and see if theirs cancelled too. I'm super disappointed that they would do this instead of closing the offer in the first place. 1 -

I just checked after you wrote this. Mine is cancelled too! I called customer service. Had to leave a voicemail. I'll let you know what comes of it.2 -
Awww I am so sorry I thought I could share since they emailed me link to claim the samples. Mine wasn’t canceled yet but I hope if you guys message them on Facebook or email they will look into it. They shouldn’t be able to cancel after order already in. I HATE when companies do things like this just because they received “too many” requests. Companies should know better and put a cap on how many can claim instead of canceling and letting people get their hopes up.melissa6771 wrote: »skelterhelter wrote: »Noreenmarie1234 wrote: »Free lenny and larry cookie sample pack.

Definitely the Brown Butter Almond Brittle!1 -
For anyone looking for Bang energy drinks.
Vitamin Shoppe has a better selection than GNC.
Also, many health clubs / gyms that have cafes sell Bang. If you're around a Lifetime, Xsport, LA Fitness or an Equinox, check their shops.
In terms of flavors - Starfruit is one of my favorites. Champagne is really good too. And, they have 2 new uncarbonated flavors that taste like Arnold Palmer or Arizona Peach Tea. I've tried all the flavors and they are all pretty good.3 -
I have been reading through posts on this thread for ages. It's the reason I first tried Halo Top. HT has been hit-or-miss with me, and I have yet to find a pint that I feel I could eat in its entirety in one sitting. Some are downright bad... I wanted to like cookie dough so badly, but the cookie dough pieces were AWFUL. They almost burn your throat.
So, you all inspired me to try different ice creams.
Today, I bought Enlightened's Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip and Skinny Cow's Rocky Road. (I really want Enlightened's Marshmallow Peanut Butter, but my store didn't have it). I am too full to eat it right now, so I just peeled the lids off and took a taste of each (couldn't reisist!). I LOVE the peanut butter ice cream flavor in Enlightened. And Skinny Cow had some tasty mix-ins. I can't wait to really try them!
The reason I am so full, is this pizza I had. I went looking for the ultra thin crust cheese pizza some people have mentioned on here, but they didn't have it at the store I went to. Instead, I ended up getting this Screamin' Sicilian cheese pizza:
I like to save as many calories as possible for dinner, so I tend to have a lot to play with, and I barely spent half of what I had set aside for dinner tonight. I ate a third of this pizza (two good sized slices) for less than 500 calories. It was really surprisingly delicious! I am NOT typically a take-and-bake pizza lover. I find the crust is usually overpowering and frankly just not good at all and that they have too much sauce and not enough cheese. At first, I was afraid I was not going to like this because, when I cut it after taking it out of the oven, the crust looked thicker than I had hoped. But it wasn't an issue at all! The sauce-to-cheese ratio was spot on, and the slice of fresh mozzarella melted on there put it over the top. A little shake or two of some italian seasonings would really set it off. I will definitely have this one again. Maybe add some veggies to it for a boost, too.9 -

You may want to check the order status; that's how I learned about them cancelling my order. I didn't even get an email. I hadn't bought L&L in a while since Quest came out with their cookies. After this, especially with the controversy that they're using incomplete proteins in their products, I think I'm done with this company.4 -

It's especially fishy as you had to make an account, if I recall.5 -
