The product description for the mix I bought reads like this: With only 22 Calories per serving and 1.7 Net Carbs Per Serving, Carbawhey is a delicious soft serve dessert specially designed for low-carb, low-lactose, and "diet conscious" consumers. This healthy alternative has no unpleasant after-taste or side effects.
Read the full description.
Hmmm... sounds good, I thought. So I ordered the multi-apck and paid for the shipping.
Holy christ the stuff was bad. A very weird sticky consistency and just terrible flavor. I tried making both the chocolate and the vanilla flavors. The vanilla required using a neutral base mix and adding French Vanilla flavoring. There were two different sets of directions for ho wmuch flavoring to add based on how much mix you were using. I ended up with an orange concoction that reeked of alcohol and was totally inedible.
So, I decided to write to the site where I purchased the mixes from just to give my review and I was even thinking that *maybe* they would offer to make an exchange. My product review must have felt more like a personal attack to the vendor. This is our exchange.

Good morning,
Thank you for the kind words and the input towards the product. All criticism is welcome, and we do have someone here at all times of the day to answer any question that you may have.
We do have customers that rave about this product and they have had some variation in texture and taste. Of course the machine that you use typically has something to do with the outcome.
Once again thank you for your kind gesture this morning and I hope that you have the same type of success with your daily ventures in life.
Happy Holidays

I think the moral of the story is one we've all heard before: When something sounds too good to be true, it is.
I believe I'll just be heading to Pinkberry next time I want some soft serve.

WTF? I couldn't tell for sure, but the last paragraph sounded snarky and sarcastic. Or, it's like the two sets of french vanilla instructions.. doesn't match.
It could be a copy/paste job where he pasted the last paragraph from another form letter they send out.
In any case, he did not address your email at all.
Good for people to know.
Yeah, but what was he honestly going to say about such a personal attack? I've tried their products and think they're great... So I'm thinking it was the machine.
I think it was faulty directions... perhaps the product would have been good with the right amount of flavoring... who knows... I still don't see how saying a product is awful is a personal attack.
Good day !.
