raspberry TFA smells like fingernail polish remover

submitted almost 12 years ago by hupa

Smells terrible, literally like fingernail polish remover. Anyone had experience with this flavor? Is that normal?

Haven't tried TFA Raspberry, but my FW Cantaloupe smells like acetone... which is almost exactly what ripe cantaloupe smells like, so I guess they got that right.

Sadly, all the "berries" I've tried have been that way. I love cranberry juice as a beverage but have never found a flavoring that is even close. Many of the fruits seem hard for them to get right. Fruit Punch is my go-to these days as it seems tastiest, followed by cherry + apple.

I've yet to find a cranberry flavoring as strong and tart as I'd like. It makes me sad....:(

I have their raspberry as well and yup. Smells that way. I use a super small amount of it in a few recipes. Like 2%.

Yeah, I mixed up a 2%er last night. Probably going to go with <2% in the future, still has a very chemically taste.
