What is Fireball Cinnamon Holiday Nog?From the makers of Fireball Cinnamon Whisky comes a non-alcoholic, cinnamon-flavored holiday nog that doesn’t have the warm spice listed in its ingredients. According to the carton, “Fireball Holiday Nog is rich and creamy, energized with the bold Fireball taste you love.”How is it?Well, I haven’t had Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey, so I can’t say if it has a bold Fireball taste. But the nog does have a familiar flavor.Do you like Wrigley’s Big Red Gum? Do you swallow Wrigley’s Big Red Gum, seven years of digestion be dammed? If so, then drinking this will have your taste buds thinking you’ve poured a creamy, liquidized version of the gum into your mouth. So no worries about gum wads slithering through your digestive tract for seven years. Although, you’ve never had to worry about that.While this nog’s flavor reminds me of Big Red Gum, and it’s from a whisky brand that claims its main product, “Tastes Like Heaven, Burns Like Hell,” it has no cinnamon burn. I don’t know if that’s from it lacking the ingredients that cause the burn or if the dairy in this instantly soothes it.I’m sure there have been other cinnamon-heavy nogs, but this is the first one I’ve experienced. And I have to say that I very much like its bold flavor, which I’ve been savoring from fancy whiskey glasses.Anything else you need to know?Despite ownership of fancy whiskey glasses, I don’t drink alcohol. So I didn’t do what the carton, I mean, The Dragon recommends, which is add some Fireball Cinnamon Whisky to this to make a Firenog cocktail. (Wait. How come this nog isn t called Firenog?) Its recipe calls for mixing one part Fireball Whisky with two parts of this creamy beverage. I imagine if you flip the ratio, it’ll turn you into the dragon that’s wrapped around the carton or make you feel like you did.Also, note that it’s a “Holiday Nog.” So no eggs were used. But dipotassium phosphate was. I loves me some dipo-pho!Conclusion:Fireball Cinnamon Holiday Nog’s bold flavor might be a turnoff for some tongues, but I adore it.DISCLOSURE: I received free product samples. (Thanks, Walmart!) Doing so did not influence my review.Purchased Price: FREESize: 1 quartPurchased at: Available at WalmartRating: 8 out of 10Nutrition Facts: (1 cup) 280 calories, 8 grams of fat, 5 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 35 milligrams of cholesterol, 220 milligrams of sodium, 42 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fiber, 39 grams of sugar, and 8 grams of protein. Nestle Coffee mate wants to make your coffee taste more like coffee with its upcoming Unlocked creamer line.Wait. What?According to Coffee mate, Inspired by the unique characteristics of various coffee blends, Coffee mate Unlocked cuts any bitterness of traditional black coffee, while adding a creamy richness and the taste of a gourmet roast to your mug. So I guess it wants to turn bad or mediocre coffee into better coffee. For example, let s say your office offers free coffee, but it s from a machine that doesn t get cleaned as often as it should, making it taste, well, off. It sounds like Nestle Coffee mate Unlocked might be able salvage that coffee by making it taste better, but make it still taste like coffee.There will be two varieties available Classic Colombian and Italian Espresso.The former has the taste of a medium roast with flavors of richly roasted beans and bright, fruity notes, combined with creamer richness. The latter has subtle cocoa notes, smoky aromatics, and a creamy texture that bring a dark roast richness to coffee.Both will be available in 32 fl. oz. bottles with a suggested price of $3.79. Unfortunately, Unlocked can t save our coffee until it starts being sold in grocery stores and mass retailers nationwide beginning in January 2021.Thanks to Coffee mate for the news and images! What are Hershey s Vampire KissesJust in time for the Halloween season, Hershey s has introduced Vampire Kisses, a variation of its classic milk chocolate candy. Along with the chocolate, it s filled with strawberry-flavored crème.How are they?The milk chocolate shell is the same tangy butyric acid-infused Hershey s chocolate to which American consumers are accustomed. I ve recently heard the flavor described as yogurty, which is all I can think of when tasting it now.According to the package, the filling is a strawberry-flavored crème, but there s a lack of distinct strawberry flavor in it. It s better described as generically fruity and without creaminess either.Though, in a bit of flavor serendipity, the combination of acidic chocolate and fruity filling combine to remind me of the berries and Greek yogurt parfait I had for breakfast. I doubt that s intentional.Anything else you need to know?The fanged Kisses depicted on the packing suggest that the candies themselves have been turned to undead creatures of the night. That s ridiculous, of course. Instead, I propose that these are candies meant for vampires. Here s how I think some famous blood-suckers would consume a Vampire Kiss.Count Orlok This rodent-looking guy nibbles the top off, then attempts to suck the strawberry filling out. Unfortunately for Orlok, I can confirm that the filling is much too viscous to be consumed in this way.Vlad “The Impaler” Dracula Individually, with a toothpick. It can be done, but the candy shell is liable to crack unless it s well-chilled, and no self-respecting vampire is going to devour a victim that s gone cold.Louis de Pointe du Lac (A.K.A. Brad Pitt in Interview with a Vampire) After monologuing about the dark-as-night chocolate and filling sweet as the crimson sun at dawn that shall never again greet him, Louie quickly tires of them, lamenting that each Kiss is dust to his undead palate.The Count This denizen of Sesame Street knows that these are 55 individual Kisses in his bag. Being a nobleman with an appreciation for aesthetics, he doesn t eat any since 55 is such a pleasing number.Edward Cullen Edward s fervor for Hershey s Kisses is unparalleled, but he knows that to succumb to temptation inevitably leads to their destruction. He keeps a bag in the back of the cupboard, knowing it s only a matter of time before he gives in.Angel/Angelus Angel, the beau of Buffy, the vampire slayer, would never risk a Kiss. Kisses lead to more intimate encounters, which lead to the one moment of perfect happiness that would rip his soul away, turning him to the evil Angelus. Angelus is a total chocoholic, so he eats the entire bag.Conclusion:In fiction, a kiss from a vampire (that is, being bitten) has one of two consequences. Either you re turned superhuman being beyond human reckoning, or you re a left a lifeless husk drained of all vitality. There s not much in-between, which is why these candies falling into mediocrity is so disappointing.Purchased Price: $3.59Size: 9 oz bag (255g)Purchased at: Piggly WigglyRating: 5 out of 10 Nutrition Facts: (6 pieces) 120 calories, 5 grams of fat, 3.5 grams of saturated fat, less than 5 milligrams of cholesterol, 20 milligrams of sodium, 18 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fiber, 16 grams of sugar including 13 grams of added sugar, and 2 grams of protein.
