My older sister is signed up with Ralph's grocery store. They email
her coupons for new products or items that companies want people to try
and it's all free. She just goes in on the day they state and pick up
the item. No charge. Over the years she has gotten some good stuff and
some stuff she'd rather pass on. If she gets something that she's
allergic to or thinks someone else would like more then herself, she
will pass it along. So when she sent me a text asking if I preferred
vanilla, cappuccino, or mocha, I knew a sample was coming my way.
The
coupon was for Skinny Cow Creamy Iced Coffee. Naturally, I chose the
mocha latte flavor. She picked it up and delivered it to me. Skinny
Cow makes a lot of great tasting, low calorie products. The reason
stands because they use regular ingredients but the portion size is
majorly controlled. So when my sister handed me this tiny 8 ounce
bottle, I wasn't shocked, but my inner fat American felt a little sad.
To make things seem normal, I used an 8 ounce mug. Not a very common
sight in my vast mug collection. (For years, this mug was used as just a
pencil holder on my desk. The Batz Maru
character is my favorite from the Hello Kitty family, so I loved
looking at it when I wrote letters. It was a gift from my mate, who now
sees it was only one of many mugs he would be getting for me over our
long friendship.)
With my "full" cup of iced coffee, I sat down
and relaxed for a bit. It was delicious. A rich, creamy flavor, so I
didn't feel like I was drinking diet coffee. I would definitely get it
again and even try the other flavors. They come single serve or in a
four pack in 3 flavors. I look forward to seeing what other free stuff
my sister will share with me. Trying new things is fun.
Badtz Maru was the only Sanrio character I could ever get behind lol
