QUICK YOGURT REVIEW: Chobani Flip Limited Batch Peppermint Perfection Greek Yogurt

Chobani Flip Limited Batch Peppermint Perfection Greek Yogurt

Minty Greek yogurt flavors are rare; there aren’t many of its kind.
So it’s nice Chobani added Peppermint Perfection to the Flip line.
White peppermint and dark chocolate chunks bring winter and bitter.
While the numerous dark chocolate cookies bits are crunch emitters.
They’ll take a short trip into vanilla Greek yogurt when you flip.
They’ll drop into the yogurt as if a dunk tank bullseye you hit.
The peppermint’s power won’t clear your nostrils like Altoids would.
If it was peppermint yogurt it might’ve cleared your nose real good.
It would have been nice if the peppermint was turn up several bits.
Then it would always taste like Chobani with Girl Scout Thin Mints.
Some spoonfuls had peppermint flavor, but most had none at all.
Not having enough white chocolate chunks is its only downfall.
But while peppermint wasn’t in every spoonful I put into my mouth,
the dark chocolate cookies and chunks kept the flavor from going south.
The cookie pieces stayed crunchy as I ate through the mixture.
And the chocolate chunks had a snap that gave it a varying texture.
Chobani’s Peppermint Perfection isn’t perfect, but it’s still a hit.
It’s a seasonal flavor so head to your nearest store and get it quick.

COMING SOON: New 2016 Mountain Dew Kickstart Flavors

New Mountain Dew Kickstart Flavors

Mountain Dew Kickstart made its debut in 2013 with two flavors — Orange Citrus and Fruit Punch.

Back then some clueless dude said, “To be honest, I’m not sure who’s going to regularly buy Mountain Dew Kickstart.”

Here we are three years later and I have to eat those words because the number of Kickstart flavors has grown to six, and it’ll grow even more later this month when four new flavors make their debut.

Midnight Grape will be the newest flavor in the regular Kickstart line, Watermelon will be the latest flavor in the coconut water-infused Kickstart Hydrating Boost line, and Blueberry Pomegranate and Blood Orange will be part of a new variety called Kickstart Recharge.

The new flavors will be available at retailers nationwide beginning on January 25.
