Select White Chocolate Mint (limited edition) Reviews

Ouch, that's never a good situation...
I have found that I enjoy Select in water almost just as much as in milk. I usually can't stand protein mixed in water and only do it when I have to. With select I don't mind.

That's one of the reasons why I became hooked on Select. I don't drink milk often, due to being lactose intolerant, but Select mixes so thickly in water, as well as tastes amazing in it, that it makes missing out on milk bearable.
 
Still unsweetened almond for me usually, its sold in cases here cheap and I love it lol so why not.

Gf keeps 1% in the house too though so I enjoy that on occasion

Ew 1%... Haha if I'm gonna drink or use milk, it's gonna be whole. None of that watery shiit

Gross... Whole milk is like drinking creamer ha. Skim all the way. But usually almond like driven ;)
 
Could never do whole, as a baby doctors put me on skim because I was fat AF lol

As a kid I drank a ton of milk, I am very used to skim, so I guess that is lucky for me that I enjoy it (as many seem to dislike it and need the heavier calorie versions)
 
You guys are killing me. Anything less than whole milk is just water that's lying about being milk.
 
It is? I had it in TO this summer. Same price as almond

I'm not in TO, they have 3x my selection lol

Do you recall a grocery chain that you bought it at?
I will check again for sure

Ya I realize but you're not that far way either. Think it was loblaws but I also think I saw it at sobeys
 
Hmmm, one Loblaws across town I may try out then
 
what kind of milk are you drinking...

You know bulls dont produce milk, right? ;)

Hahahhahah I meant Bam's reference to Almond/Cashew "milk" pretending to be real milk. Almond milk was whatever when I tried it, but I am down to try cashew milk bc I eat a tub of cashews every week no problem anyways.

haha whats even worse is the fact that I just now had to re-read your post about 10 times before realizing you even meant "nut juice" as in "juice from a nut (aka cashew/almond)" and NOT just some form of man-nut juice hahaha... my brain... so awful.

Caught me the first time too lol.

Enjoying the cashew milk suggestion, onto some sweetener stuff next still lighter than skim milk, just to try another brand

oh good lord..........................this admission should have been via PMs..............

I must admit I probably laughed a bit too much at this. Nothing like some protein in nut juice!!

No I was talking about the reduced fat milk! I don't mind the nut milk aha. 2%, 1%, skim milk is all water in disguise.
 
I make my own nut juice
 
Almost a month later, here we are. PES CS said they would send me a replacement tub, because it looked like USPS lost my package, but then it showed up randomly tonight, so I told them don't bother. I enjoy the flavour, but definitely not 2 tubs worth, as this small tub will last me maybe half a year or more, due to this being a unique treat that I will enjoy only once in a while.

I'll post a full review later tonight.

Good to see it made it to you man. Looking forward to hearing your review.
 
THE REVIEW

I'll just discuss the flavouring, because my love for Select as a powder is already well known.

Had about 3 or 4 shakes now to judge this on. Very interesting flavour. Not what I thought it would be, at all, in both a good and a bad way. Good in that it doesn't taste like a Candy Cane or toothpaste, but bad in that it doesn't exactly taste like White Chocolate with just a hint of mint either.

What it does tastes like, is an After Eight thin mint, to the point where the two taste almost identical to my tastebuds, differing only in perhaps the chocolate flavouring. It actually brought back childhood memories of eating After Eights upon my first few sips, so that was a pleasant surprise.

Apparently Andes Mints are the American version of After Eights, and I've seen this flavour compared to Andes, so I guess the two products are interchangeable as a frame of reference. I can't say WCM has a Dark Chocolate flavour, like the AE mints, but I don't know if it's all the way White Chocolate either.

The mint is VERY pronounced, with the chocolate as an undertone. Overall, the flavour is done well enough, so that as a non-mint fan, I still very much enjoy WCM. The aftertaste is where it shines though, as that is when the chocolate really starts to come through, and it leaves a really pleasant/refreshing taste in the mouth for a while afterwards, without the aspartame milky-mouth that some flavours of Select tend to give me.

Hard for me to rank this among existing Select flavours, because it's so unique and situational, so I won't. I just consider it a one-off, fun little change of pace flavour. At first, I thought I would have WCM once every few weeks or so, so I thought this tub would last a long while, but I've slowly been getting addicted to it, and having WCM instead of my usual UMP CnC. I definitely should have bought a second tub, but anything more and I think I would get tired of the flavour. I definitely do not regret taking the leap of faith with the one tub.

Overall, WCM is perfect as a seasonal item, so that you won't get tired of its unique flavour. It definitely evokes memories of the holidays with its taste to me, and I'm down to purchase it again next holiday season if it's re-released.
 
Thank you for the depth of that review brother,

As an inside tip,
Try mixing WCM and milk chocolate 50/50
I'm pretty addicted to that combo now, it comes through very rich and cuts down the mint aspect

I don't have any MC on hand, just GV. May try mixing the two. hahaha the review was in depth because the flavour is so damn unique, really hard to pinpoint what it tastes like, and in case you guys re-release next year, I hope someone reads my review and knows definitively what they are buying. Sucks for you though, because if I hated it, tub was going to be yours.
 
Definitely would order again if it's re-released
Also you guys should do a pumpkin pie flavor. PES would kill it

This and White Chocolate Macadamia Select are two of the best flavour suggestions ever. I could only dream of a PES Pumpkin Pie. Make it so, PES.
 
I'd like to see:

CCCD (or any cookie dough)
Butterscotch, or toffee
A banana variant
A raspberry/chocolate
Anything maple
Cinnamon bun
Hazelnut/chocolate

No pumpkin pie for you?!
Definitely like the sound of raspberry chocolate and hazelnut chocolate. Maple or buttermilk pancake type deal would just be too sweet for me though
 
My dream for 2016 is for PES to drop like 3 or 4 flavours on us all at once, like they did with Alphamine.

Dream big my friend, dream big! Would make for one hell of an insider. We are already so spoiled with the flavors we do have that this would just put me over the edge. :)
