This docent work very well.  It is very difficult to get the thing put together.  The icing tastes good.  But it is a silly waste of money.  Im sorry I bought it.  You can only dispense one color at a time and it only lasts a few seconds.  Then you load the next one which takes like a half hour then kids are done with it in minutes.  There is only one pen and of course if there are three kids there are big fights.  Save your money!!!

Delicious and a unique flavor.

It looks cool and is funny. Is way overpriced.

I got a box or two to give as silly gifts to friends of mine. Good for that purpose. Get friends together for a day excursion followed by a night of debauchery. Open fridge, present Pussy. Slam Pussy. Laughs ensue, and now you're caffeinated and did something silly.

 If you're thinking of drinking this regularly and do not make over $200,000 a year / aren't a guido... Don't

So i'm dieting and I wanted to try the pancakes because they are advertised as low cal, good for you stuff. Like for the whole mix, 90 calories. Cool. Except to actually make the pancakes, it is now 190. And the mixture tastes like flour and water! I couldn't do it, I had to add sugar. Which totally defeats the purpose of these pancakes. Also, the bag of mix is extremely small. You can make 2 batches of little size pancakes with it. Stupid.

Sure you can get a cupcake in 25 seconds but it's not worth it.  The cupcakes are nasty, the frosting is disgusting and you've got a royal mess to clean up in the end.  The frosting doesn't even usually make it onto the cupcake.  Save your money for something better and just buy a box of Betty Crocker mix and frosting - just as fun and they taste MUCH better!

It tastes and feels in your mouth like artificially flavored shortening.  It is greasy.  I have to avoid lactose, all milk products.  I eat as much non-GMO and organic as possible so I was excited about this.  I know that I can find some great tasting frosting without milk at the super market.  Once in a while you have to splurge and an occasional GMO, etc. isn't going to kill me.  This frosting is just awful and so is the price.

The cupcakes were fairly good but The icing on the box is not what you actually get. I also only had 4 cupcake wrappers even though they estimate ten cupcakes. Good overall

this tastes like an absurd parody of your bad childhood memory thinking "nesquick powder makes milk good, so it must be even better on its own!" but with added metallic bitterness. regretting getting a whole case lol, should have just stuck with the chai

edit: it's palatable cold, upped rating to 3 stars

I *really* don't like saying negative things about ANYthing, let alone products made by a mfr that's been around for a long time- like Hershey's.  But, I honestly must say I have found this product virtually unusable.

I work for a company where some of the folks add chocolate squirts to their coffee.  So, we go thru a fair amt of chocolate syrup- and thus I have purchased, over 6-9 months, about 3 of the 6-bottle cases of this.  Regrettably, each has been the same- i.e. I'm not just judging the product based on one possibly bad case, or batch.

I *do* get a sense of chocolate from this-  !!BUT!! the accompanying odd taste- and the persistent aftertaste, is quite bad.  I've literally mixed this with milk- which has been GOOD milk, and several times not been able to force myself to drink the whole glass- I've had to pour it out- the non-chocolate odd chemical taste of the syrup- EVEN when mixed with milk- was THAT bad.

Apparently if you only use a little bit- like maybe a small shot in a cup of coffee- you MIGHT not notice anything different.  But, if you try to taste this directly, or mix it with a reasonably lightly flavored substance- like milk, or water, or, perhaps, cake or cookie mix, I can virtually *guarantee* it will not taste the same to you- it has a VERY odd chemical, sour, bitter, or SOMEthing taste, IMO.

Perhaps, if this is the ONLY type of syrup you can use, due to diabetes requirements, or something, you might try it.  However, I would strongly recommend that you look through & try OTHER products first- and use this particular "sugar-free" one as a last resort.  Or, if you're determined to try it, go out & find a single bottle in your local store- and try that.  Then, if you *still* like it, perhaps go ahead and buy a case.

However, apart from a very special need, I can't imagine why someone would use this.

I do *not* think, for example, that even an average person who's concerned about calories, would use THIS.  In fact, *I* am concerned about calories- which is why I tried using this, and stuck with it for so long.  I almost *always* use the low-calorie varieties of foods.  And, in ten-plus years, I have rarely found any problems in doing that- I'm a pretty tolerant person, taste-wise.

However, this is one product that I simply can NOT force myself to use anymore- I'm shifting to Hershey's "low-fat" version of the syrup.

This is DEFINITELY not the product for me- AND, looking at other reviews, it looks like I'm not the ONLY one who thinks this has a VERY unusual side-taste & aftertaste.

I really don't think this is the best ice cream maker,  I would choose a different one since the amount of ice cream frozen on the sides prevents the inner amount to freeze properly and makes a lot of waste.

I imagine these could easily be items sold in Spencer's Gift. Somebody had this clever idea and it cost very little money to create. Just locate a manufacturer who make the actual sunscreen. Give them the print art for the front and have them make these from stock generic lotion tubes. I mean, these really are the normal lotion tubes. But if you are not looking carefully, your mind would make you "see" the label as L'oreal, when in fact it says F'oreal, or For Real. Haha! That's clever.

Each tube holds 8 oz, so if you pack both tubes, you have half a liter of booze and that should last a while (for most people). While you could drink directly from the tube, you will look pretty ludicrous putting your mouth to a tube of sunscreen and squeezing hard. Someone might call the poison center, you know? Anyway, the opening is too big to squirt out the liquor, and it will just drip all over you... yes, I tried it... only in the name of science. The proper way seems to be to pour the liquid gold into a drinking vessel and drink from that.

I think this is a funny yet practical idea. But I still have to give it just 3 stars. I am pretty sure the plastic tubes are not BPA-free, and storing alcohol in them will leach out the BPA and potentially other chemicals. I suppose if you do this only once in a while and if the alcohol is stored in the tubes only for short duration, it might make you feel better. For myself, unfortunately, this is one and done.

I have no obligation or inclination to give this product a favorable review, and the above review represents my honest opinion of this product. My ratings do run the full range from 1 to 5 stars, although just like most reasonable persons, I don't give out 1 star unless the product completely fails all my expectations.

The chew part of it was okay, but the frosting was flat and left a weird film in my mouth. It also made the chew taste flat and soggy.

three packages of totally melted and solidified chocolate.  One small ice pack inside that was HOT and useless.  Total waste of money.

It works ok, but it is a lot of icing to be putting through the coupler.  My hand hurt because of the amount of icing.  Cupcakes turned out well and I like the idea.  I might have made the frosting too firm.

Dont get me wrong here. The taste and quality of this product isn't bad. My beef with it is that its not the old classic ORIGINAL drakes yankee doodles. The original yankee doodles (and sunny doodles) cupcakes has been one of my all time favorite snack cakes. But the powers that be over at Drakes decided not to make them anymore for reasons I don't know.

After not having the old Yankee Doodles for quite a while, but then one day seeing this on the shelves of my local supermarket and seeing the words "drakes yankee doodles" on the box got my hopes up (though the additional word "iced" left me a little perturbed. The old yankee doodles never had icing).

Did they finally at long last decide to bring back my beloved old original yankee doodles? Nope! This was the same, the VERY SAME cupcake as the Hostess iced cupcakes! Except for the packaging, no different! Its the old (and present) hostess cupcake! Same texture, same taste, same signature squiggly white icing on top of the same chocolate icing. Same everything. They have some nerve wrapping up a hostess cupcake inside drakes "yankee doodles" packaging. Why did they do this? Why pull this stunt? Why not just bring back the old classic yankee doodles as they once were?

If you like or love the old hostess cupcakes, you'll like or love this. But if you liked or loved the old original yankee doodles cupcakes, this will serve as a major disappointment. A case of false advertisement. This is NOT a drakes yankee doodle cupcake, regardless of what the packaging says.

This review is being written by 6 and 8 year old girls.....

"Don't buy it.  The cupcakes on the box are different than the ones you make because they icing squirts all over the place.  The whole thing is just a piece of plastic with a plunger that spins around....it does not swirl the icing on the cupcakes.  It just splattered and dripped all over the toy and we were doing it right.  Please save your money and don't buy this b/c it is a waste of money and it costs too much for you to buy it.  You should just buy cake mix and frosting and squeeze it out of the bottom corner of a ziploc bag and have more fun!  Remember:  DON"T BUY THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I have no idea what this is supposed to be.  Doesn't even remotely resemble a chocolate flavor.  Not a sauce but more of a goo.  Naturally flavored with what?  Sugar? And the artificially flavored with sugar as well?
Its literally like a powdered sugar icing my mom used to drizzle on bundt cake (powdered sugar with milk) but even sweeter if that's humanly possible.
And there is a distinct aftertaste that's quite unsettling...a chemical flavor that took brushing my teeth to get rid of.
I tried it alone, on ice cream, a little drizzle on pound cake and finally in my americano.  In my coffee all it did was make it sweet. Perhaps the American palate is so used to artificial sweetness that it appreciates this? I thought I could make my beloved white mochaccino with this...no such luck.
Plain nasty.  Don't waste your money....just make your own sweet goopy syrup like my mom did and save yourself the extra $11

The gold glitter is fun, but the container is very tiny. If you hope to sprinkle, or as I did, roll (rumballs) in this stuff, it only does a few cookies, and is pricey for the amount. The silver cake sparkles by the same company has more, but they're not a blingy.
