Someone at Cadbury Adams must’ve been reading my mind…

I saw sweet cinnamon and sweet berry in the store this morning.  
The sweet berry tastes like Cap’n Crunch’s Crunch Berries. I haven’t tried the cinnamon.

That is all.

This is probably not what their Research and Marketing Department geeks would like to hear you say. You’re supposed to say, “Gosh, this new Sweet Berry flavor tastes like juicy fresh berries, bursting with flavor, just picked down on the farm!”

But, “Hmm, tastes like a competitor’s out-of-a-test-tube artificial flavor” is probably not what they wanted to hear.

Cinnamon is my favorite flavor for gum, mints, toothpaste and mouthwash! I’ll have to try that new flavor.

Being the weirdo that I am, I _prefer_ the “out-of-the-test-tube” artificial flavor of berries to the taste of real, ripe, juice-filled berries.

Be careful. Check for excess purple skin color or plumpage.
