Two More

Bananas and Cream (Banana & Vanilla)

Name: *** (3 Stars)
It's just not that exciting. It makes me think of creaming bananas, which makes me think of mushed up bananas, which... is kind of gross. I personally think "Banilla" would be a better (not to mention wittier name). Like VA-nilla, but with a b... because it's banana. I am so clever. Oo - or "Vanana!" And I didn't add the exclamation point to express excitement... that would be part of the the name - Vanana!

Appearance: **** (4 Stars)
It's just white and yellow, but I think those two colors look really pretty together. Not that you can really see white when you put it on the ice, but I just dig the clear colors on the ice. It's so... snowy-looking? I don't know. I just like it.

Smell: ***** (5 Stars)
Vanilla smells amazing, plus the banana equals... bliss. I heart it.

Taste: ***** (5 Stars)
It's tastes like banana cream pie... how could that not get five stars?

Would I order this flavor again?
Definitely. Banana is amazing and adding vanilla makes it like... crazy amazing.

Overall Rating: 4 1/4 Stars

Barbie (Pink Lemonade & Guava)

Name: ***** (5 Stars)
The name is really fitting for the flavors. A sassy guava flavor plus a flavor that is pink both in name and color. Very Barbie-ish.

Appearance: **** (4 Stars)
I realize that both of these flavors are pink, making the sno cone unicolor, which should only give it three stars. ...but I decided to give it an extra star because it fits along so nicely with the name. A "Barbie-flavored" sno cone could be nothing but pink. Addding another color would've been a mistake.

Smell: **** (4 Stars)
It smells good and the scent is really strong. I wouldn't want to smell it all the time, though. The guava-ness is really the main contribution to the higher 4-star rating.

Taste: **** (4 Stars)
These are probably two of my favorite flavors apart, but I just don't know about putting them together. Barbies taste really good, but, again, they just doesn't meet that 5-star standard.

Would I order this flavor again?
Personally... I probably would not. Despite the appeal of the look and name, I just don't think it's the most ideal flavor combo. But I think it does an excellent job of staying true to a barbie-like theme.

Overall Rating: 4 1/4 Stars


Two different flavors, both rated over four stars. Good day. :)

  1. I don't like the Barbie - I don't like guave. But I do realize it's a crowd pleaser.
