Love President’s Choice The Decadent chocolate chip cookies? Now you can drink them—sort of
Any ‘80s kid remembers the stir that The Decadent Chocolate Chip Cookies caused on the snack scene when they debuted in ‘88. A quarter-century later, Loblaw brand President’s Choice is aiming to recapture that buzz with a lineup of new Decadent-themed products, including pancake mix, cheesecake and, most intriguingly, a chocolate-flavoured soft drink. The Decadent Soda, which hit stores earlier this month, has already inspired more than a few Fear Factor–style taste tests, including a multi-part video survey on YouTube. The reviews so far are mixed: some samplers claim it tastes pretty good over ice cream, while others give the product a big thumbs-down (at least one less-than-enthused Twitter user is calling for Galen Weston to drink his own creation on-air). According to several tasters, the novelty pop tastes a bit like a carbonated Tootsie Roll. Yum?
