Whipped Cream (FLAVRZ) 8% (6-3-23) – With this, the second to the LAST, in this massive second series, let’s get into the Whipped Cream. My experience with WC’s seems to always fall into two categories, very light, slight vanilla, and darker, richer, less vanilla. This one fell into the second category, and had far more substance than the airy light, thinner vanilla others. It had some mouthfeel, and good creamy-ness, and was very good at 8%. It shared something with ANOTHER WC I’ve tested, and that was an almost chocolate note. Of course, as SOON as I stop typing this review, I WILL be adding this to some Graham Cracker, and Marshmallow, JUST to see HOW the light chocolate notes fare in a mix. Solo’ing it, they were unobtrusive, but always present. I guess the best, closest comparison might be a heavy whipping cream, with chocolate undertones. Many other of the WC’s I’ve tested were soo light and airy, it was hard NOT to over run them in mixes, whereas this one would hold it’s ground much better. Three testers later, my opinion(s) hadn’t changed on this one, and I was unable to detect any squirrel-y notes. In closing, this one was a heavy whipping cream, with chocolate undertones, and a good mouthfeel, at just below mid-level sweet, that would hold it’s own in a mix, and not be run over in most mixes. I don’t feel that the choco undertones were a negative, nor distraction, and will leave this one fairly high @ 9.1/10.
Wild Cherry (FLAVRZ) 6% (6-3-23) – I believe this is the EIGHTIETH FLAVOR in the FLAVRZ (two series) so far. By my count, that is just a few day short of two months, for ME, and YOU GUYS on these, and it’s been a BIG HAUL. I figured I’d leave the “Scary” one till last (just kidding, alphabetically loaded). BUT, cherries, CAN INDEED be scary. I have been burned, and burned hard in the past, and some no matter HOW FAR you reduce them, are floral, soapy, or worse yet, medicinal. I’m happy to say that NONE of the aforementioned were present here. I DID test this one fairly high (as far as cherries go), and it was very good, AND, unique. Unique to me, just means, I don’t think I have one like it on my racks. It did present as a red cherry, but not fully a maraschino. It was not dark, or a “black” cherry, but stayed fairly red, and juicy throughout the entire test. ZERO off-notes (more on this later), aftertastes, or anything out of place. It leaned heavily to the natural at maybe a 75% natural / 25% artificial, and was a tick or two below mid level sweet. The uniqueness came from what I am terming the “Wild” part of it, THAT’S the nuance/overtone I do not have on my racks. It is VERY hard to classify, or explain, but maybe “ripe” COULD be a close second, but even that feels not right. Needless to say, the combination of IT, and the red cherry WAS a great combination. NOW, just for you guys, I decided to try an experiment, and boost it up a little more JUST to see if I could BREAK it, and I couldn’t. I had it up to 10%, and it didn’t go sideways on me, but just deepened, and got bolder. Impressive. Think not, try that with most of your existing cherries and see. All in, this was a great juicy, red cherry, that had hints of a mara, but only hints, and it had a very unique “wildness” to it. If you have been scared OFF of the cherries, come BACK into the Cherry fold. With no real take-offs, I’ll be rating this, the 80th flavor in this run high, @ 9.4/10.
If you’ve made it THIS FAR !!! Then I salute you. 80 flavors in one long ass run, is a LOT to read, but it’s even MORE work on my end. Thanks for hanging in there.
Thank you, SD…and please send photos of that water-cooled keyboard that you MUST have. 
You’re welcome @whthek.
