QUICK REVIEW: Taco Bell Caramel Apple Freeze

Taco Bell Caramel Apple Freeze

What is it?

According to Taco Bell’s website, it’s a less messy and just-as-delicious drinkable alternative to the overpriced caramel apples sold at county fairs nationwide. In reality, though, it’s just a cup of green apple-flavored slush with a couple of pumps of caramel syrup thrown in.

How is it?

Do you like Green Apple Jolly Ranchers? If so, this the freeze for you. Everything about this drink reminded me of them, and I felt the apple flavor’s slight tartness helped to keep the degree of sweetness from reaching tooth-aching levels. Better yet, I found the fruity flavor and ice to be refreshing on the hot and humid day I bought it.

Taco Bell Caramel Apple Freeze 2

In stark contrast to the fruity forwardness, the caramel syrup wasn’t nearly as potent here. Maybe it was the way my particular drink was made, but I only had a small puddle of barely-detectable caramel sauce at the bottom of my cup, and I found that stirring it around caused it to get lost in a sea of bright green slush.

Is there anything else I need to know?

If you do decide to order one on a hot day like I did, be prepared to guzzle it down fast, because mine started to melt before I had even walked halfway back to my car. By the time I got to work, I basically had a cup of neon green apple juice, which prompted one of my coworkers to quip smartly, “That’s not a green juice,” to which I ended up replying, “It is, but it’s not the sort that you’re used to.”

Conclusion:

Even though I would have appreciated a couple more pumps of caramel sauce, I still ended up liking this drink overall, and, considering it’s only a dollar during Happy Hour, I think it’s worth a try if you like green apple candy.

If you’re wondering what’s new about the packaging because you haven’t had these crackers in years, the animals are now out of their cages. A zebra, elephant, giraffe, gorilla, and extremely tired looking lion enter a bar and the lion tells the bartender that they’re thirsty. The bartender says to the lion, “You must be really thirsty after chasing after the other animals.” The lion replies, “Yeah, the zebra and giraffe are faster, and the elephant and gorilla are stronger.” “So all of you came to a truce?” asked the bartender. “Yes, they convinced me that I’m not fast or strong enough to capture them,” replied the lion. “But,” the lion continued, “they also convinced me to capture something slower and weaker than me.” “Oh, what animal is that?” asked the bartender. “The bartender,” replied the now smiling lion.
