It doesn’t seem appealing to my taste buds. I think this is taking the coffee crazy a bit too far.

Wow, thats insane... A friend of mine had me try some today, almost made a thread just like this

btw, it tastes absolutley horrendous. Put it in my mouth and I couldn't keep it in for much longer than a couple seconds. Made me want to puke.

Does it even taste like coffee?

If you posted this before I did, I would have thought the same thing. Strange coincidence.

I saw it at 7/11 tonight and thought it must taste like crap, but thought they must have done some sort of product assessment with taste testing. Guess not.

Yes it does, but much stronger than any coffee I have had, with a very large dose of sugar. Also, take into account I don't like coffee; this was beyond overkill.

Perhaps those who enjoy coffee will find it appealing, I sure didn't.

Coffee, milk, and mint may work well together.

Stale coffee, milk substitutes (or maybe dried milk solids), and way too much sugar? No thanks. I do like Wrigley's main gums (the only ones in normal stores with real sugar, for one thing), and have been known to like how it mixes with coffee...but not in a small package.

The coffee flavor should be from hot coffee, the mint from several-minutes chewed doublemint or spearmint gum, and the milk flavor from cream, half&half, or whole milk.

I used to think honey mustard sauce (Boar's Head and similar excluded) was an unbearable abomination. Recent prepackaged food products have proven me or so very naive.
