Vanilla Frostie

The Pooj goes in for a closer sniff.
(Rocket Fizz Valencia, October 2010)

In light of the last posting about the questionably “Christmas” Frostie, it seems appropriate to officially ring in the post-holiday routine with the blatantly non-Christmas Vanilla Frostie. You’ll recall that I mused aloud about what the Vanilla Frostie would taste like given the vanilla-heavy flavor of the regular Frostie. Turns out that Vanilla Frostie tastes like … vanilla.


Lots of vanilla. Lots and lots of vanilla. But no root beer…


Regular Frostie is formally turned into vanilla soda with the added “Vanilla” label. It tastes much more like a vanilla cream soda, assuming that there’s equal parts vanilla and cream… Fine, I’m exaggerating, but however you look (er, taste) at it, there is no root beer flavor present whatsoever – not even a hint in the aftertaste. As far as vanilla soda goes, it’s not bad, but as far as root beer goes, it’s just not – Vanilla Frostie gets a 2.
