I found the elusive bundle, sadly disappointed in the hype...
I picked up one case simply to try the Ruby Apple flavor since it's not sold singularly. (They really should've made packs of the two flavors separately but I digress)
I'm glad I only bought the one because this was a genuinely disappointing experience.
I had tried the Witches Brew before and was not a fan. It tasted too sour and the caramel after taste was syrupy and artificial tasting. This didn't come as a surprise to ke since sour apple flavors have never been at the top of my list. But with all the hype I'd hoped for better.
I wish I could say differently for the Ruby Apple which I was excited to try since my tastes are sweet leaning rather than sour.
In my opinion, the Ruby Apple is cloyingly sweet. This is coming from someone who's all time favorite flavor is Cotton Candy which I've heard has a reputation for being "too sweet".
Yet normally I prefer things that are very sugary however this missed the mark for me. It was so ridiculously Apple candy sweet that it overwhelmed anything else this drink could have to offer.
The caramel flavor here is better suited for the Ruby Apple and I will admit that it does taste reminiscent of a caramel apple if the sugar was dialed up 100.
Witches Brew gets a 3/10 for me, 5 being average
Ruby Apple gets a 6/10, after putting it on ice and letting it dilute slightly it was quite pleasant to sip on. I imagine it would be nice to mix with another soda maybe to mellow out the very strong flavor.
Am I the only one who felt this way? I see so much love and people hoarding carts of these bundles and all I can imagine is that it's FOMO or scarcity bias. I know everyone has different tastes but everyone who I had try these flavors we're not even a little fond of them.
So now I'll have to find ways to make the Ruby Apple to taste a bit better since I have 5 more to drink. Leave suggestions in the comments!
As for the Witches Brew well I'll give those out I guess, I genuinely cant bring myself to finish even one. To those who do love it I hope you managed to snag yourself a few ♡
Edit: Sorry for the overly wrong review but side note, big missed opportunity to have made a Candy Apple flavor.
