Ugh. Never again. Unless I know someone going into shock from not having sugar, and even then, I'd only do it if they were going to die.

Nate: first impression: "Ew." Jen's: "Oh my."

Grainy texture. Sickly sweet fake strawberry aroma rising from the open package in front of me, like some strawberry-vanilla shoggoth. Feels like the soft sand at the edge of the beach, where the surf hits. Does not come with a tool like the shovels in the pudding or a cheese-snack. Feel is the worst part. Taste lingers in throat.

Nate: very sugary and artificial tasting vanilla. Pretty much like eating icing.

Jen: Bad paste-like frosting. Sticky.
