Dole Whip (from the freezer aisle)


[New for 2023] I think a lot of us are aware of Dole Whip, but how many of us have actually tried it? I might consider it for a moment, but then flip back to getting some kind of slushy drink instead. Well, that age old dilemma of whether or not I should try it has finally been solved because now I can try it at home. I don't have super high expectations, but let's take a scoop of...

Strawberry Dole Whip

3.6 oz cup

Meh

Double meh

I expected to taste the coconut first but actually I taste the honey first.

Oh yeah, I do not like that.... and the coconut just kicked in. Bleck.

Do I taste strawberries? I mean, maybe? Like I think of the odd texture and the odd ingredients before I get to any kind of thought about strawberries.

Do I have to keep eating this? Should I let it temper more?

The think the texture kind of reminds me of Italian Ice. Well technically it reminds me of sorbet I guess. Either way, I definitely expected something creamier (I know it doesn't have dairy, but I thought it might have a softserve vibe).

And there's the coconut flavoring with a weird honey aftertaste again.

Yeah, I'm gonna let this sit on the counter and see if it magically disappears.

Oh thank goodness, my wife just offered to finish this one for me. Crisis averted.

Note: there is also a mango flavor... not that I'll be buying it.

On Second Scoop: someday? meh, probably not

Verdict?  ewww
Buy Again?  nope

  2. That's unfortunate you still can't cross Dole Whip off your list because this was clearly not a good test.

  4. My family had the mango last night. We let it sit for about 15 min first. We loved it. But we are big Disney orange bird fans. Was orange a variety made? If so, I haven’t seen it.

  5. My wife and I googled reviews for the Dole Whip cups. We tried Pineapple. It is the same exact problem of disappointment at best. Thank you for your review - we now know we arent just taking an "off" sample.

  6. Oy vey. This stuff is an affront to humanity. A soft serve cone would be a blessing comparatively. Kept waiting and hoping it would get better as it warmed. Nope. Now I have seven more of these pineapple cups to find a home for as I bought the eight pack at Costco. Stay far away!
