I went to the grocery store this morning to stock up on my daily breakfast supplies (plain oatmeal, unsalted teddy’s peanut butter — which I accompany with soy protein powder. Don’t knock it. It’s good) and some bars. I notice the discount rack has some gems. You know the rack. The one with the tin cans missing labels, dented boxes of cereal, stuff like that. Anyway, this rack held, Vitasoy Holly Nog.
For $1, I figured, “why the hell not?” I’m already a big fan of Silk Nog. How different could they be?
You guessed it. I opened the package and before I was out of the store parking lot, I was draining the container into a snow bank. Probably the worst drink product ever. I give it seventy five thumbs down.
Also while I was in the store, I came across the Vitasoy Peppermint Chocolate beverage.
After drinking the Holly Nog, I was already prepared for disappointment. I waited until I got to work this time. The first sip wasn’t bad. The second sip was barely noticed. I realized, the first sip coated my mouth in an impenetrable layer of sugar. After a third sip, my $1.25 purchase went down the drain, literally. The only fan of this product must be the tooth fairy or the dentist.
All I’m left with is a horrible taste in my mouth. Lame. Vitasoy – 2; Bmurphy – 0. I think I was pranked. Take my advice, heed my warnings: don’t fall for these products.
