The cappuccino one tastes like a burp you'd have after eating a bunch of ready salted while drinking a latte.
I was still in the UK a few years back when Walkers did Cajun Squirrel. It was really quite nice, like Zatarain's seasoning with a hint of chicken. Onion Bhaji was better though.

I thought the cappuccino chips were fine. A snack bag was more than enough, but I didn't hate them. It's the crunchiest cup of powdered instant coffee I've ever had.

They experimented with selling these here in he US one or two holiday seasons ago.

I bought the pumpkin and cinnamon and sugar flavors to try them out.

Some sodas are natural, some are artificial, and some have both. Since they're labeling a box with several sodas, they have to say "and/or."

Each soda itself would say if it's just one or the other or both.

Im just wondering what unholy mix if natural and artificial flavors can, in the most vague way, replicate the taste of turkey gravy.

But then again im not familiar with American Dread Flavomancy.

Nobody's going to buy gravy or Pepto Bismol soda to drink by themselves. They know drat well that the pack is only sold to be a novelty at a Thanksgiving party and they're streamlining the whole process.

There's an awful lot of horrifying artificial flavors. I once was exposed to a bacon flavoring, and it was the single most vile thing anyone who encountered it had smelled. It was somehow worse than rotting meat.

The same company had a bunch of other meat flavors, including hot dog. We did not buy them.

So yes, American Dread Flavomancy is very real and very terrifying.

Years and years ago my mom dropped a gag gift into my Christmas stocking: a tin of "meat-flavored" mints shaped like brains (it was the beginning of the big zombie craze). I opened the tin and that was as far as I got. The smell that wafted out was in the top three worst things I have ever smelled. I have smelled actual poo poo and vomit that was more pleasing to the nose.

Artificial meat flavor is a loving war crime on the senses.

I've made a pretty decent veggie haggis substitute with toasted crushed nuts, oats, sage, and a big pile of pepper. It's not something you'll want to eat if you have a choice between that and haggis, but if you're doing a haggis supper and you've got vegetarians (or enormous wusses who don't like offal) over then it's not a bad substitute.

Ham and pineapple is right up there with pepperoni as the top pizza flavour in Canada.

Ham and Pineapple pizza is called Hawaiian pizza in Canada. I have no idea why Ensign Ricky or anybody would think people from the USA would think it's gross when it's named after one of the states of the USA. What the hell is going on here!

Cholesterol is a lipid, but it's not a fat. And you don't break it down for energy, so technically it has no calories. Think of it more like a vitamin, something you use directly as is.

Or in this case fail to use and then poo poo out because that's a loving lot of cholesterol to take in at once.
