I marched over, butted in (I’m so rude) and exclaimed “Did you say Trop-A-Rocka? I’ve been looking for that forever!!” They politely pointed it out on the shelf and promptly ran away from the Crazy Tea Lady.
I was a bit disappointed to see it was only being sold in six-packs. I was hoping I could buy just one bottle and sample it - because frankly, the combo of flavors sounded kind of weird and I wasn’t sure I’d like it. Green and black tea, mango, pear, peach, vanilla, cinnamon - I think those are the flavors in it and I thought it sounded like an odd mixture. But a six-pack was my only choice and I went for it.
You know what? I like it. No, wait, I might even say I love it!! Picky, fussy me. The girl who doesn’t like mangos and isn’t all the crazy about peaches. I was shocked, but something about this odd mix of flavors really worked for me. And if it tastes good now, jut think how refreshing it will be on a hot summer day?
At long last, my mission to sample Trop-A-Rocka has been accomplished. Hey Snapple, just promise me you’ll keep making it, okay??
I have been able to find 6-packs in my neighborhood Target (on occasion), but since I was able to try it, I also knew I liked it. Finding places that sell individual bottles seems to be less common based on my non-scientific experience.
ReplyDeleteI've been looking for it for a while, too, and haven't ben able to find it any sampling size around here. But I tried for first time near Thanksgiving when my mom brought some down, and LOVED IT. I've been meaning to do a post about that for awhile, but have failed miserably. Oh, and Bret Michaels doesn't return my calls. I'll blame the heart surgery. Anyhow, great one Karen!
ReplyDeleteHa! I haven't yet found the Trop-a-Rocka, BUT I also use Motts-for-Tots for lows! It's my go-to for overnight lows :)
ReplyDeleteCool that you were able to find it - I cannot find it in the Philly area! Glad it was good too!
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I fought over who would get our last Trop-a-Rocka from our six pack. Yum!
ReplyDeleteAnd can I say that Motts for Tots juice boxes are my favorite go-to low treater? Much better than glucose tabs.
Glad you finally found it! I like it too!
ReplyDeleteI have not seen this one yet, but now I am on the look out! I usually have juice boxes around, but I prefer jelly beans right now to treat lows! For some reason even just a few sips of juice send me too high after a low!
ReplyDeleteoh oh I have to tell my brother in law about it. HAPPY HAPPY DANCE FOR YOU!
