If so, this the freeze for you. Everything about this drink reminded me of them, and I felt the apple flavor\u2019s 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. <\/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\/08\/Taco-Bell-Caramel-Apple-Freeze-2.jpg?resize=550%2C550&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Taco Bell Caramel Apple Freeze 2\" title=\"Taco Bell Caramel Apple Freeze 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"550\" height=\"550\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In stark contrast to the fruity forwardness, the caramel syrup wasn\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n<h3>Is there anything else I need to know?<\/h3>\n<p>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, \u201c<em>That\u2019s<\/em> not a green juice,\u201d to which I ended up replying, \u201cIt is, but it\u2019s not the sort that you\u2019re used to.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>Even though I would have appreciated a couple more pumps of caramel sauce, I still ended up liking this drink overall, and, considering it\u2019s only a dollar during Happy Hour, I think it\u2019s worth a try if you like green apple candy. <\/p>\n<p><b>Purchased Price:<\/b> $1.00 (purchased during Happy Hour, $2.39 regular price)<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 16 oz.<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 8 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Nutrition Facts:<\/b> (16 oz.) 190 calories, 50 calories from fat, 0.5 grams of total fat, 0 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 80 milligrams of sodium, 47 grams of total carbohydrates, 0 grams of dietary fiber, 42 grams of sugar, and 0 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is it?
