Bubly – Orange Cream

Another one from this questionable Bubly brand—at least you can find them—and this one’s really good. Orange Cream means, essentially, orange vanilla, and the flavor really does emulate one of those frozen desserts—what where they called? I’ll look that up later. Creamsicle—I believe—though now when I look that up, I only find a cocktail by that name. I guess liquor has taken over the internet! Anyway, they were essentially an orange popsicle with vanilla ice cream inside. Quite an invention. For whatever reason, orange and vanilla go really good together. Unlike vanilla and coffee, which is hideous. The flavor here isn’t too subtle, so you’re getting a full blast of flavor. If you have to quit drinking sugary bullshit, which you should, anyway, you could really get your fix from this. I don’t mean the chemical sugar fix, but at least the pleasure from flavor, cold, and bubbles. The can is excellent as well, an uneven shade of pale, metallic orange. A little darker here and there, some bubble-looking circles, so it appears a bit mottled. But overall, really pale and light, so you can barely make out the minimal white lettering. It’s either a mistake or a very bold choice—I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt.
