> Ok, so, if they'd ditched the Buttered Popcorn *name* and served up the flavour on its own merits, would that be more acceptable? Because to tell the truth, I had no idea what that particular JB flavour was called until Kelly mentioned it and it rang a bell. I just knew I liked it, and it stood out, over and above a sea of overly-sweetened treats.

It's sort of like Cream Soda with more pizzaz. Other faves with interesting keynotes are almond (Amaretto) and vanilla. Yummy.

> What I can't understand are those completely artificial "commercial flavorings" like Artificial Grape and Artificial Peach. Or, for that matter, another invented taste called Bubble Gum. They all leave a kind of unpleasant bitter feeling in the mouth. Almost as bad as Mint Licorice Yogurt...

LICORICE YOGURT?!?!?! That sounds horrid, with or without the mint flavoring.

Does anyone out there really like the flavor of licorice? I don't mean that the flavor is just tolerated. I want to know if anyone truly enjoys (and perhaps even craves) the flavor of licorice.
