so one of the youtubers I watch, Alexandria Ryan, who does unboxings of subscription boxes, she also does advent calendars every year, which is how I found her
Oh I watch her advent calendar stuff!
and she's got the same See's one that I do, and initially I went: "Well shit, I can't watch this one until after the season's over" until I got to today, and a piece that I was pretty sure was Marzipan (which I detest), and was going 'well I don't want to open it if I can just slip it to someone who likes marzipan'
'how the hell can I find out if it's something I'll like or not?'
I WATCHED HER DO THE SEES ONE! It's a good calendar, quality selection.
so I just watched up to today (which was not marzipan but a peanut nougat thing, tastes very like 'Mexican marzipan') and now I'm just going: "Teehee, I can just watch hers day by day and share notes" which is the most parasocial relationship thing I've ever thought to myself
(I know she's not my friend, it's not that bad, but it does amuse me that I can do this)
crossthesky: yeah! The pieces so far have all been good, even the stuff that's not my favorite is still good bc I mean, c'mon, it's See's
and yeah I love her beauty box stuff and her rants about 'this isn't even enough moisturizer for two uses and you can tell by looking at the bottom and seeing just how thick the jar is'
I treated myself to a little box of their new dark chocolate mint chocolate chip ice cream truffles and holy shit they are amazing
and 'just get a bigass pump bottle of cera vie, it'll do the same thing and cost you way less'
It really tastes like mint chocolate chip ice cream
yeah, I saw those and I wasn't sure, even though the mint cream lollies last year or the year before were great
If you pt them in the freezer, they literally taste like an ice cream treat
I don't know how they did it, it's some kind of mad witchcraft
I'll have to let godmom know since she usually goes 'do you want candy or do you want edibles?'
and sometimes 'and I also made you cookies no takebacks'
and yeah, like, I'd believe the See's folks have the same kind of flavor wizards working for them that the Jelly Belly Bean Factory does
