The watermelon flavor is about as expected. It\u2019s a bit milder than some previous Freeze offerings, like the Strawberry Skittles flavor, and it\u2019s not too sweet nor too tart. <\/p>\n<p>But what about the candy seeds? Well, they really don\u2019t bring much to the table, other than slowing down the slush-making process. Your friendly Taco Bell barista must first open a little package of seeds, fill the cup about a third of the way with slush, sprinkle in some seeds, fill more of the cup, sprinkle in more seeds, and so on. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Taco-Bell-Watermelon-Freeze-2.jpg?resize=550%2C823&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Taco Bell Watermelon Freeze 2\" title=\"Taco Bell Watermelon Freeze 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"550\" height=\"823\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Eerily, the result for my drink looked like some sort of weird candy seed face starting me down, just daring me to drink it. I took the dare, and while the watermelon flavor was nice, the seeds didn\u2019t add much flavor at all. The black coating was almost flavorless, and the inside only had a faint sugary taste, like an unflavored Smartie. <\/p>\n<h3>Is there anything else I need to know?<\/h3>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Taco-Bell-Watermelon-Freeze-3.jpg?resize=550%2C594&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Taco Bell Watermelon Freeze 3\" title=\"Taco Bell Watermelon Freeze 3.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"550\" height=\"594\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Nothing frustrates me more than a clogged straw caused by candy pieces mixed into an ice cream or slush drink, but there\u2019s no need to worry about that here. The straw provided (in watermelon rind green) is of ample circumference to allow multiple seeds to easily travel from the cup to your piehole without fear of obstruction. Be forewarned though, the larger volume straw also increases the probability of brain freeze. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Taco-Bell-Watermelon-Freeze-4.jpg?resize=600%2C375&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Taco Bell Watermelon Freeze 4\" title=\"Taco Bell Watermelon Freeze 4.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"375\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And weirdly, the seeds seem to lose their coating after a few minutes of swimming in the slush, so by the time I got to the bottom many of them had a bit of a speckled egg look. <\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>Even though the candy seeds seem like a missed opportunity \u2014imagine if they were kiwi flavored or something else to complement the watermelon slush \u2014 overall the Watermelon Freeze still a refreshing summer drink and quite a bargain if you score one during Happy Hour.<\/p>\n<p><b>Purchased Price:<\/b> $2.29 (or $1 during Happy Hour from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.)<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 16 oz.<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 7 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Nutrition Facts:<\/b> 220 calories, 0 grams of fat, 60 milligrams of sodium, 59 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fiber, 58 grams of sugar, and 0 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is it?
