I had been anxious to try this one. I love Caribou coffee and especially caramel coolers. And the idea of square bubbles intrigued me. Although I was a little skeptical of the idea of drinking up chunks in my straw…
How bad could it be?
Well, if you like half drinking, half chewing a cold drink then this is right up your alley. Or if you like chewing on cold over-chewy jell-o this is for you! OR if you want a straw larger than life, you’ll want this!
Seriously. The straw was massive. That should have been my first warning…
Why, oh, why would you need such a large straw? To suck up a mouthful of cold jell-o type cubes of course! I could feel them filling my mouth as I was drinking. And you know you’re not enjoying the drink if you’re dreading having to chew them after swallowing the drink in your mouth. Call me lazy, but I don’t want to have to work at eating my food! By the end I was so sick of the cubes that I was spitting them out and just trying to drink around it, which is impossible by the way…
The cubes themselves were pretty tasteless, just very chewy. And square. Which makes me wonder why they didn’t advertise it as a caramel cooler with “cubes” rather than bubbles… since bubbles are round.
So, nice try Caribou. But this one is not for me.
Moral of the story. Never try new things. 😉 I’ll stick with my traditional, boring, tried and true, caramel cooler.
No, no, no, that is not the moral of the story. You already have a daughter who is hesitant to try new things. So the moral of the story is that you try everything and, yes, some of them are bad, but some are going to be awesome. So keep trying new things!!!
That sounds about as gross as the Blizzard with three inches of Nerds in the bottom of the cup!
Haha! I remember those nerds blizzards… 😀
And yes, I will continue to try new things.
