There's a review at X-Entertainment from a couple of years ago (there are tons of other reviews too, but this is the first one I've read). Essentially, they say the holiday pack is probably best left unopened and used solely as a conversation piece. I guess the flavors may have changed somewhat, or entirely, over the past two years, but the X-E people say they tasted AWFUL two years ago. The T&G tastes like gravy, the mashed potatoes and butter (no longer available) tasted like butter, green bean casserole (also no longer available) tasted like death, etc. Note: this says nothing about the dessert pack, which I think would probably be at least decent. Maybe a little like cream soda?

I have 2 different holiday packs that have been sitting with me for ages. I keep telling myself I'm going for it, and then proceed to Not Go For It.

I dunno, "antacid flavored soda" sounds pretty crazy to me. B^) | Joseph Ryder
