Sooo…I kinda, sorta, am well-acquainted with Lean Cuisine, Stouffer’s, and Marie Callender’s frozen foods. Ajinomoto ones, however, not so much.

If your eyes and mind haven’t yet recovered from the photos in my previous post, hopefully the ones in this entry will help to erase those images and thoughts.
Friends, have you heard of The Fruit, The Legend, The Stench that is The Durian?
Of maybe you’re already acquainted, pleasantly or otherwise, with this Southeast Asian item allegedly known as the King of Fruits?
This fruit’s nickname may be earned in part because of its hard and pricky rind, sure, but you can’t really have a discussion about durian without mentioning how much it reeks.
I was all over this drink as a kid.
And again, I think it was because of the design.
The bottles were small, measuring about 3 inches tall and 1.5 inches wide, with a foil top.
I would have been all over this drink as a kid…
mostly because of its Capri Sun-like pouch…
and screw-top. I wouldn’t have been attracted to its flavor; I probably would have thought, “Coffee? Gross! That’s what adults drink and adults are lame.” But now, as part of the 18 and older crowd, the coffee flavor most definitely drew me in…and the pouch design. So, the flavor. I really liked it. I like my coffee with cream or half-and-half, and this Coffee Shake tasted like coffee with either addition. The flavor was smooth and pleasant, and not sickeningly sweet like some milk shakes can be. To drink this item, you squeeze from the bottom to the top and suck at the same time. The effort and painfully numb fingers afterwards were worth it. This would be a handy thing to have in the freezer if you wanted to drink a milk shake but didn’t want to make or go out to buy one. And the Milk Shake flavor? Equally as delicious. |
