Brownes Supashake - Choc Honeycomb

Foreword: Supashakes are rip offs, really, it's just like they give you less milk in a carton so there's enough room to shake it up. The premise is annoying, since they're giving me less of what I want, for a quality that I wouldn't really desire in the first place. Though, they are one of those items that just bring me back to earlier years. I remember when they first came out, in Year 5 or so.. and I thought they were absolutely awesome, because there were new flavours. The Dome coffee one was the best thing in existence at the time, and I would drink one as often as I could.. Really, I'm surprised I remember all this, just because I have the memory of a goldfish, normally.

There used to be a time where I wouldn't eat honey. I mean, I haven't ever been a massive fan of the straight stuff anyway; but when I became vegetarian, I kind of figured that so many bees died in the production of honey, that I didn't want to advocate acts like that. My mum would eventually steer me in a more..logical direction; but the thought still sticks in my head.

That said, chocolate and honeycome are pretty awesome together. Just look at a Crunchie or a Violet Crumble (aren't they exactly the same thing? I swear..), so I have quite high hopes for this drink.

The colour of the stuff is rather amazing, an orange-y gold shade. Makes the milk look so appealing. It could be mushroom flavoured milk and I still may want to drink it. There's the saying "you eat with your eyes"; well my eyes are currently nomming down on this. The taste itself is also good. It has a stronger honey taste than chocolate, but it's certainly a great balance of flavours. Actually the chocolate doesn't really seem too present, but the honeycomb flavour itself is great. This is probably going to be my new favourite flavoured milk drink.

8/10
