The price was a bit much though I thought.  Other than that, I could
definitely drink lots of that stuff.  Tis nice.  :-)

We had one here that I sorely miss.  Was a snack product like cheese
balls/curls, only these were **HOT** and called "Great Balls O'Fire",
and they were GREAT!  Alas, we were the test market and they didn't go
succeed so they don't exist.  :-(  :-(    They were really good, too.

They were really hot, but also had a bit of sweet too.  Really nice.
Woulda been great as an oven-fried Chook coating.
