Im the one who ALWAYS asks the waitor for flavored ice teas whenever I go out to eat.. ALWAYS. Folks who accompany me now even anticipate me asking and report back to me when restaurants do finally offer flavored ice teas! I dont quite get along with regular sweet iced teas anymore, Im not sure when that acquired taste left me but add a dash of flavoring and Im all about it! I do love the Snapple line of flavored teas (raspberry/peach) but was pleasantly surprised when I picked up a bottle of the new Liptons Peach Ice Tea product.
My father is a loyal hot tea drinker from as far back as I can remember so that is one of the very last few brand loyalties I have. The peach flavoring in this drink is not overwhelming as the Snapple version would be so it makes me feel like its a more genuine tea based product. It seems like Lipton is trying to rejuvenate itself with all the new white green tea product line its advertising which is great but do not forget to try this one out.

I did some research on this one.. there's this taste that I can't quite figure out.. Im surprised there isnt an online website where one can guess all flavors that go into these fruit cocktails developed by V8 to provide a full half cup servings worth of fruit and veggies in one regular glass (for a better detailed description please refer to Stacey Whaley's comments from another review). It seems to have a subtle carrot like taste while you drink it.. does anyone else detect that? Apparently V.Fusion's primary vegetable-juice base is sweet potato juice.. so now it makes complete sense as to why you'd wanna throw a million flavors at it, ha ha. I do enjoy this flavor.. and it seems like all three flavors (tropical orange, peach mango and Strawberry Banana) of this product line have that thick consistency.. and I dont mind.. its a nice change from plain standard OJ. I must say that the Strawberry Banana flavor was my fav, so give that one a shot first.

I’m not a coffee snob, but I heard a news item recently that stated consumer reports found McDonald’s coffee to be the best deal, based on taste and value. I couldn’t let that stand, so I went to McDonald’s and ordered a cup. It had been years since I’d tried it, from the time when I made my former mistakes of ordering their coffee; ordering any fast-food coffee, for that matter. Only Bojangle’s seemed to have palatable coffee for a fast-food joint. I was surprised that the coffee at McDonald’s had improved in the intervening years. It wasn’t bad. Now McDonald’s advertises that they’ll add the cream and sugar for you, which my polite attendant did, without flinching at my request for six sugars. They use a little mechanism that measures out the sugar with the push of a lever, so it was a fairly easy operation. Six sugars were too much, though – the coffee was not the bitter sludge of yesteryear. However, their attempt at specialty coffees misses the mark by a long shot. Their mocha was weak and flavorless. I am glad, though, to have an option when I wander to the lands of the Starbuck-and-Caribou-less and need my jolt of live-giving fluid.
