Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I feel sorry for whatever flavor chemist came up with this "caramel" flavoring. They've clearly never actually tasted caramel before. This tastes more like burnt sugar, gasoline, and sadness. I suppose you get what you pay for, and in this case, I got something that tastes like corporate ennui, like someone distilled a training video into a k-cup. Do not recommend. Update- some poor soul at my work was dazzled by the cheap price, and bought a big sampler pack for the office. I've been going through the flavors slowly out of either misplaced optimism, relentless masochism, or maybe both. I tried the Mint Mocha. Remember those plastic-y listerine strips that came in packs and dissolved on your tongue? Imagine if someone stuck one of those in a cup of something that was vaguely, perhaps, at one point, coffee (the ghost of coffee, if you will), and you'd get "mint" "mocha" from Crave. I plan to try the blueberry vanilla next. Pray for me. Update- surprisingly, the blueberry vanilla isn't terrible. The blueberry tastes like a blueberry muffin, but it doesn't mesh well with the coffee(ish) flavor, and it kind of pulls my taste buds in two different directions. If I had to pick a Crave coffee to drink, I'd go with this one. Raspberry- did you know that raspberry flavor used to come from the anal glands of beavers? Crave appears to have gone retro with this flavor, only, they left out the raspberry. It's mostly chalky beaver butt with the faint memory of coffee. Pecan- once, while trapped late at work, I realized that I'd forgotten my lunch. In desperation, I ate a pecan that had been trapped at the bottom of my bag for half a year. It still tasted better than this coffee. Chocolate cherry- Again, surprisingly not as objectionable- I guess Crave's flavor chemists are good at mimicking fruit flavors. Still, though, it was faintly chalky, and tasted a bit like coffee mixed with milk of magnesia. Vermont maple- imagine you took the cheapest, fakest syrup on the shelf, and then watered it down, fermented it, and then mixed it with something that was maybe, once, coffee, and you'd get something approaching this flavor. Buttered toffee: My tongue literally recoiled from it. Coats my entire mouth unpleasantly and is reminiscent of licking the grease-spattered interior of an old popcorn machine. Tastes the way motor oil smells, somehow?
