Hey, I recently ordered the real flavors free 3 flavors of the week. I picked up the sponge cake in addition because I thought it sounded good. So I opened them up and see the sponge cake in a black bottle. Upon closer inspection it's the actual flavor that's black, bottles totally clear! If anybody else has tried this is it supposed to be black? It doesn't smell much like any cake either. All the rest smell great, strawberry, sugar cookie, and cookies and cream. The cookies and cream is dark but it's even lighter than the sponge cake.
I just got it today too. Not as bad as say, FA Cocoa, which I swear has actual ground up cocoa beans in it, but yeah it's dark. Keep in mind these are "super concentrates" so the color is going to be deeper than what you would expect from other brands. Also just because it's dark doesn't mean it went bad or something and don't always expect the flavor to match the color you are expecting from it's real food counterpart. Plenty of flavors are dark, that's just how they are.
As for the smell, it's not what I expected but it's not bad. Kind of reminds me of CAP's French Toast. Taste could be totally different though so don't just judge it from the smell. IMO the strawberry has the worst smell out of the ones I got today. It's very "green" and leafy smelling, which hopefully means it will be a very real tasting strawberry instead of the candy ones most companies have. Not that those are bad, but I have enough candy strawberries.
That Strawberry is the realest I've come across. It seems to linger for a longer time on my wicks when I change flavors too. Its tricky to work that one into creams imo because it always stays on top, honestly I've made like 10 mixes with it and I'm not convinced any of them are better than just 2% RF SC strawberry by itself lol
When they were giving away the 30mls I considered making a second order but I use it at 1-2% so it should last me a while, I'm still using the 10ml I got from ecx.
Nice, I guess you could say it's a very... RealFlavor? Heyo! I'm excited to try it now. Hopefully I'll get around to mixing some tonight. I assume it's a good S&V?
Not a clue what it tastes like yet. I googled it and the only review was in Spanish but it was almost a light yellow. I was confused as they apparently have a coffee sponge cake as well. I thought the strawberry was a very real strawberry smell. I'm hoping it's what I'm looking for to replace Cap sweet strawberry as I get a leafy green taste from that one.
