first, i would like to say this was packaged, it was dented on the bottom. it was in a brown envelope and it was also late getting here. Second, i would like to say that i was so excited to get this and was even willing to try and deal with that but when opening it was the worse tasting syrup! it had a decenf taste to hit your pallet but instantly it tasted like straight vanilla almost as if someone poured straight vanilla on my tongue, it was for snow cones and my sons birthday and he hated it and i felt terrible. it is absolutely horrible. i would NOT WASTE MY MONEY! IT IS COMPLETE WATERED DOWN OVER POWERED VANILLA! JUNK! JUNKLE JUICE!
