Lindy's Black Cherry Italian Ice
New cup design, it's better, if not a little too simple.
Mmmmm, smells very cherry-ish
I'll be honest, while being a big supporter of Lindy's, it feels like forever since I've had some.
Well, black cherry is an interesting choice. While I usually have sweet (fake) cherry in this kind of treat, the black cherry is a more... ummm... more mature? To be honest, I'm kind of speechless at the moment. It's italian ice that tastes just like the cherry floating in your soda....
Ok, yeah, I got nothing else right now. I'll check back with you on the next scooping.
On Second Scoop: It's funny how you can leave this stuff out for 20 minutes and there's not a huge change in the consistency. I mean it's easier to scoop, but overall, still the same product. Anyway, ummm, yeah, these are fine I guess. There's nothing particular wrong with them, it's just.... it's just... I'm just unable to relate to the flavor profile. It's a little.... iunno, stemmy for my liking. It tastes more like I'm eating a cherry rather than a cherry lollipop. There's just something complex but unsatisfactory in the flavor profile. Yes, I know these say "black cherry" and not regular "cherry" so I should have expected it. In fact, I should compliment them on making something different. It's just not my thing at the moment, that's all.
Verdict? ok
Buy Again? meh

Some of the boxes I have bought have a different flavor. A chemical taste and my tongue tingles. Other boxes are just fine. I can't figure it out.
ReplyDeleteYep bought Black Cherry tastes like chemicals.
DeleteWith each small scoop into my first cup, I was aware of a weird flavor. Then, by the time I got towards the bottom and I was able to get bigger scoops, the chemical flavor increased into a very unpleasant experience. Sadly, I will need to toss the rest of the box.
ReplyDeleteYes… the first box I got my grandkids lived…the second box they said tasted like chemicals!
ReplyDeleteI just got it for the first time and it tastes like a marker. I remember when I was little having scented markers and I tasted one out of curiosity-this tasted just like that marker.
DeleteI love thhis stuff and buy 4 to 6 cases of 6 at a time. But this time we bought from Walmart and it was like it was melted and refrozen and tasted awful! It was hard as a brick and wouldnt scoop! Had to let it melt and it tasted like those old ice trays mom used to make! We pay good money and was very disapointed!
ReplyDeleteFred, posting your complaint and your (redacted) home address on this blog won't help you. Please return your Lindy's to the store where you bought it.
