Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / March 2006DaVinci Syryps -- again
x-no-archive: yes I say "again" because I know that there have been a lot of threads about the DaVinci syrups. But I just ordered some for the first time. I found a website (which I won't name for fear of being accused of spamming) that sells the 750 ml bottles for $4.75 when bought in a case of 12 bottles. So $57 for the case, I think I got a good deal. Now for what I'm using them for: I bought a snow cone machine at WalMart last year and pretty much stuck it in a cupboard and forgot about it. Well, I pulled it out yesterday, I had forgotten what a great easy, low-carb treat the snow cones are! Trouble is I was using powdered SF apartame-sweetened syrup mixes that came with machine, and they taste less than stellar. So I'm excited about getting my syrups; I ordered a variety of flavors including orange, root beer, grape, cherry, strawberry, amaretto, watermelon, lemon, lime. I've been eating SF popsicles as an evening snack -- 15 calories and virtually no carbs. But the snow cones will give me more variety and will cost less in the long run too. Not to mention that I'll be very popular with my nieces and nephews this summer! > x-no-archive: yes > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > Not to mention that I'll be very popular with my nieces and nephews this > summer! Sounds like a very smart move. Jim  Signature1) Eat Till SATISFIED, Not STUFFED... Atkins repeated 9 times in the book 2) Exercise: It's Non-Negotiable.....

Watermelon sounds really good. The only places 'round here that sell DaVincis are TJ Maxx and Marshalls, and they've had very little laterly. I'll need to order, I think.

They're $6.50 for individual 750 ml bottles, but only $4.75 when bought in a case of 12 as I mentioned. The DaVinci and Torani flavors can be mixed and matched in the case.

Yes, that is an excellent price. I prefer DaVinci - have never been too excited about Torani. I can get sf Torani at the East Coast version of Cost Plus, but only in vanilla and hazelnut (neither a favorite). I love DaVinci caramel, butter rum, have gotten tired of Kahlua, not too crazy about the chocolate flavors. But I'd like to branch out and try some others. I also mix a little with fizzy mineral water, over ice, in the summer. The watermelon would be great for that. Thanks for the website, Peter!

I had been looking at buying the syrups for that price also - don't recall the website now but recognize the price - when a friend told me about naturesflavors.com . She said those are the syrups she uses, the price is $2.13/12 oz. bottle. I haven't tried either of them yet but will probably try both so I can compare, when I get around to it :). SignatureSherry 364/290/195 (4/3/05) http://lowcarb.owly.net Oh Damn! Now Perer's really done it. His post made me remember that yesterday I was at BJ's Warehouse and they had frozen LC chocolate/raspberry ice cream pops. Think they were the new Keto brand. Haven't seen them anywhere before. So, I was gonna buy a box, but waited to pick it up till I was done shopping. Now I realize I forgot them! And I'm not a member, BJs was having an open house. BTW, Peter, where on the web did you find the DaVinci? If I understood correctly, they will sell mixed cases at that price?

Thanks Peter, I thought I was getting a good deal here locally but I went to the website you linked here and $57 a case plus ground UPS shipping was still cheaper. I got mine today and they were packaged beautifully with a thick styrofoam molded frame made just for the bottles andeach bottle was bubble wrapped around the base and a piece on top of each bottle before the molded lid was put on. NICE package job. I was a bit worried they wouldnt get here intact but I will be ordering again. I'm a stick in the mud though. I dont venture with too many different flavors. I have a fav... I ordered one of the SF Dav. rootbeer, one SF DaV french vanilla, one Torani SF caramel and 8 of my fav SF Dav. carmel . Thanks again for the tip And... BTW.......I'm still waiting for that letter you promised. Isn't it getting close to the time you and your sis are going to come and visit me??????????? Laureen || Thanks Peter, || I thought I was getting a good deal here locally but I went to the [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] || || Laureen *Hanging head in shame* I'll catch up withmy correspondence this weekend Laureen, I promise! I got the pictures of Larry today, OMG, what a difference. Good for him. You two should go on Oprah or something. I've never seen a couple accomplish what you guys have done. When I write an e-mail this weekend I'll update you on what's going on with my vacation/travel plans. You got you syrups before I got mine; mine haven't arrived yet! Waaaahhh! It's because the store is on the West Coast andI'm here in Williamsburg, VA. Mine will probably come tomorrow. I'm curious Laureen, what do you do withall the SF caramel syrup? (I'm thinkin' that maybe you and Larry pour it on a rubber sheet and then get a bit kinky? hehe). Peter Well now Peter about the comment on the rubber sheet....... Ya gave me a good idea. Maybe it tastes better than whipped cream. Hmmm.... Now what do I do with the carmel syrup you ask? Since I can't drink a lattes anymore because of the carbs, me being lactose intolerant, the fat/cals in reg. milk, the icky taste of fat free milk, etc. I make a large cup of strong coffee ( Batdorf and Bronson is my fav) I add 2 tablespoons of carmel syrup and a Tablespoon of dry creamer and have a "Like ~A~ Latte" every morning. Sometimes I have 2 cups. You have to try it! It beats the vanilla, english toffee, and white chocolate SF Davinici all to hell. Thanks for the compliment. We both feel wonderfuI. I look at my husbands face and he has a younger much more relaxed look to his face. He just started eating solid food on Saturday so he is getting spoiled right now after 3 months of pureed food. Dinner tonight was 6 raw peeled shrimp each sauteed in half Olive Oil Pam and half I Cant Believe It's Not Butter Spray, sliced garlic, kosher salt and lime chili powder served with 3 pencil size stalks of asparagus. Funny huh?? We were full after eating that tuny bit. Protein is still our best bet. It fills you up with less and stays in the tummy longer. K, gotta go buy the rubber sheet now <ZOOM> :) <evil grin> AND!!!! I EXPECT THAT LETTER THIS WEEKEND!!!!!! : ) Laureen > x-no-archive: yes > [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > > Peter |
