Good Score…I like this one with another cream to support it. I have to do that with most Ice Creams though. This reminded me of a FW VBIC but not as well rounded. I have found a lot of the ultimates as SF Are mid range fkavors with the exception of a handful but mix very well in recipes . I think my biggest disappoints were Lemon , Bluberry , Birthday cake and of course Whitc choco mint
oh and the tutti fruittis I just dont get those they have really good fruit notes but the tutti fruiti im not a fan of (personal choice)
Mad Bunny (Flavor Jungle) (One Shot) 10% (3-23-25) – With ALL of the Strawberries and Cream mixes out there, do we really need one more ?? Read on faithful followers. When mixing this one up, it really smelled good, and testing it, proved to be MORE of the same. Yes, Mad Bunny is Flavor Jungle’s newest Strawberries and Cream One Shot. One of my biggest initial (and still standing) take-away’s was how perfectly the cream and SB’s were paired. In a word, PERFECT. The SB’s presented as a very rich, and dense combination of SB’s, which centered around a candied, and jammed. There were brief hints of a juicy nautral swirling around, but more so in the background. The cream while not eintirely “velvety smooth” as it was billed, WAS very smooth and creamy. Because it was so expertly paired with the SB profiles, it was hard to fully identify, but the sweet and creamy carrier just never quit.
At the prescribed 10% mixing weight it was very full without being overpowered, and sweetness was 2-3 ticks above mid level. While fairly sweet, it wasn’t cloyingly sweet, and it actually worked to open up some of the “jammie”-ness of the SB’s. With that said, this One Shot might not be for the sweet advsere. I had no issues polishing off three testers of it, and the complexity and punch of the SB’s kept me coming back for more. No complaints, off-notes, or issues to be had throughout my tests. Bright, punchy, complex, and riding on a smooth, sweetened creamery carrier is what you got with this one. Knocking it down just a tick for the sweetness level and finalized it at a high 9.4/10.
Killer Custard (Flavor Jungle) (One Shot) 9% (3-23-25) – I could tell something was "different’ with this one, as soon as I started the test. Whether or not it’s good, MAY be up to you. To me, this one seemed to be a “mashup”, and it’s not what I think of regarding Custards. There was a decent vanilla custard profile buried in the mix, but there were fairly heavy “bakery” elements in play here, and they seemed to just muddle it up a bit. Smelling it, I could smell VC, graham, almost even light choco notes ?? At one point, I almost asked, “Did they try and mashup a S’mores and a VC” ?? Funny thing was, it smelled better than it tasted LOL. Now it wasn’t terrible, but the VC that was in there, didn’t have a rich mouthfeel or taste, and the “bakery” elements, just really blurred it up quite a bit.
At the listed 9% rate it was very full, and sweetness was just below mid-level. Off-notes will be up to YOU GUYS lol, because it really never took focus for me, and stayed fairly blurry. I will say, it wasn’t terrible, but it was NOT anything I would describe as Custard-y. This would probably be best used as a mixer, and could be used in plenty of bakeries, but just not as a custard note. I’m circling the wagons, and leaving this one kicked down a bit, and finally settled on a 5.0/10.
I was so disappointed…I started vaping mine at 2 weeks…I mixed a 110 ml and I got very bored with it. I got through half of it and stopped vaping it. Although it did get heavier a bit after 3 weeks…i literally didn’t enjoy it.
@Lynda_Marie you know what’s strange, is smelling it in the bottle I’d swear I got graham, and some very light choco, almost like they “S’mores’d” it. Tasting it however it did NOT taste like a S’mores Custard lol.
Just not enough true rich custard for me. No butter, no egg, and it just truly seemed like a blurry mashup.
@muth Same profiles, and similar. I liked the cream a lot better on the Sweet SB Cream, which was also less sweet, than the Mad Bunny. The Mad Bunny however, while sweeter, had a more robust SB profile.
If your fear is sweet, then I’d go with the Sweet SB Cream.
You’re welcome @muth. You know the deal though, our tastes may never be identical, so I can only help so much, with what I tasted in them, but if sweetness is your biggest concern, the SSBC would be better, at least in that regard.
Ultimate Cheesecake Graham Crust (Flavor Jungle) 3% (7-12-25) – This was the first of the two new Ultimates on deck. It was interesting mostly because it smelled one way, and tasted/tested another. It smelled like a great graham cracker crust, but with some creamy, slightly acidic/funky (in a good way for realism) cheesecake. Testing it however, the cheesecake notes somewhat vanished, or at least the funky cheesecake (yes, in a good way) notes did. What was left, was a pretty convincing graham cracker crust, with no cinnamon, and a creamy overtone. I’d nail the split down at about 75% graham crust, 25% creamy-ness. The crust notes were pretty spot on, and almost had hints of a light cookie in there. The creamy-ness was rather more of a creamy carrier that the crust rode on, as it was always present, but lower in the mix.
At 3% it wasn’t what I would call strong, and you could probably easily go up to 4% with no issues. Strength wise, I’d put it at about a 6.5-7.0/10, and there were no offensive notes to be found. Ever so slight, very light coconut notes, but very light, and barely detectable. Sweetness was fairly low, and well below mid-level. I think the creamy notes helped eliminate any dry notes on the finish, because it was actually NOT dry on the finish. All in, a good graham crust, with very light hints of a creamy cheesecake in the mix. I decided to leave it at a solid 8.75/10.
Lemon Butter Cookie (Flavor Jungle) (One Shot) 10% (7-13-25) – I decided to split up the Ultimates and One Shots and alternate between them. At 10% as prescribed by Flavor Jungle, this one was really good, right out of the gate. Smelling it in the bottle is smelled spot on with a buttery vanilla cookie, accented by a bright lemon. Testing it, revealed the same profiles. The butter/sugar cookie was very good, an accurate, but had a little less buttery-ness as compared to smelling it, but it was still there. The cookie had some nice weight to it, and some nice grains/grainy-ness that helped authenticate it. The lemon profile sat just below the cookie in the mix, but stayed present from beginning to end. To my tastes, it was almost like two lemon profiles, one in the cookie/base, and one riding on top with brighter highlights. At times I almost got notes that reminded me of CAP LMP, so that might be in here.
Sweetness was about a tick above mid-level, so it leaned to sweet, but not completely “commercial” level sweetness. At the suggested 10% it tasted plenty strong, and no overt off-notes, except for a slightly dry finish. Marking down only for the somewhat lacking (tasting) buttery-ness, and slight dry finish. It isn’t the most complex one-shot, but it was still good. It felt pretty solid at a 8.9/10.
@Lynda_Marie to be fair, despite using TPA’s CGC daily, I’ve never solo’d it. It would be hard to say until I tested both. Without testing each, I’d say they’re in the same ballpark.
Ultimate Cookie Dough (Flavor Jungle) 3% (7-18-25) – I had to spend some EXTRA time with this one, JUST to get my ducks in a row. For my tastes, this one is a MASTERPIECE, and I THINK I know who designed it, but I’m not going to state it publicly. There are a few ok cookie doughs, but there are far more NOT ok cookie doughs. This one, is a GREAT cookie dough. Smelling it in the bottle, WILL make you think you’lve got a bowl, of freshly mixed up cookie dough, right in front of you. One of the things I liked the BEST was that there were no “choco chips” in here, so it was a blank canvas, just ready to be used in any way you wanted. VERY, very good, accurate, and just plain damned tasty. Flour, butter, sugar, milk, eggs, vanilla, and brown sugar were all in here. There may have been some light AP added to give it some weight/grain, but if so, it was VERY low in the mix, so fear not AP-opposers, you are good to go.
At the prescribed 3% it was very good, rich, and full, and MIGHT be able to be pushed up another 0.5%, but I didn’t feel the need to. There was a very realistic grainy-ness, or “bakery weight” as I call it to this one. Not “thick”, but it had some nice “weight” to it, which really helped sell it. Dare I say, if you just wanted a non-choco-chip cookie dough, you could solo this one, ALL day long. It tasted like a 9.5/10 on the strength scale at this weight, and sweetness was at, or JUST below mid-level, which felt good. I realize that “Ultimate” is a brand name, and not a statement, but this one really DID taste like the Ultimate Cookie Dough. Freshly mixed up cookie dough with no choco chips. Hands down, BBA (Big Bottle Approved), and let’s release the Kraken here, with a 10/10.
Saw these two sitting next to each and thought: it can’t be that easy. Kinda sorta was that easy as it turns out and they actually blend quite well together
Hot Glazed Donut (Flavor Jungle) (One Shot) 8% (7-27-25) – I ended up obsessing over the Ultimate Cookie Dough before moving onto this one. I think the BIGGEST surprise for me on this, yet another Donut flavor, was I didn’t immediately feel like I need to FIX it LOL. To clarify, I can think of maybe only ONE other Donut flavor where this happened. THAT, is a good sign. Repeating from other reviews, donuts always seem to fall into the “Cakey”, or “Krispy Kreme” camp. This one was NO cake, and ALL Krispy Kreme. Matter of fact, it was a damned SPOT ON Krispy Kreme.
It was light and somewhat airy, slightly fried, AND it had the signature “Glazed” frosting on top. Another bonus was it smelled just like a KK in the bottle, AND when testing. Very little difference. Flavor Jungle did a really good job with this one. The dough was light and flaky, and with some surprising grain/grainy-ness with just enough vanilla. A hint of yeast, hint of fried, but not too much of either, and there was NO PLAYDOH !!! At 8% it was perfect, and sweetness stayed about mid-level, which was good for a frosted donut. Despite having about ONE other Donut favorite, I think this One-Shot will now become my 2nd. If you want a Krispy Kreme, then you should pick this one up. No off-notes, or take-offs, and it tasted JUST almost perfect. 9.9/10. Taking off 0.1 for NOT being Hot LOL. That’s about ALL I could nit-pick for this one.
