Just have to give my opinion of the French Vanilla RTD. My shipment came today and I gave one a try. Very good, even at room temp!!! Can't wait to try one chilled. I like these even better than the packets. With a case each of the choc and vanilla, I'm ready for the next few weeks.

Thanks for the tip, MomJackieLee. The price is very good, that's for sure. Might be a good alternative to the shaker jar and packets I use at work AND save half a buck or so if I get on the stick. I'm going to look into that.

I love the Fr Van RTDs. I cannot stand the Fr Van packets. The ONLY way I can drink the Fr Van packets is if they are mixed w/ Dutch Choc as a double shake and then drink half for one meal and the other half later or if I add Crystal Light to the Fr Van then I like it, otherwise...

The RTDs are very handy!

That's interesting Nancy - I didn't buy the fr vanilla RTD's on sale b/c I have a few boxes of packages I will never drink - just thinking about them makes me queasy. Now that my husband has started using some of the products, he says he'll drink them so at least they won't go to waste. What about the rtd's makes you think they're so much better than the packets?

I ordered some of the Fr Van RTD. I hope to get them today or tomorrow. I don't like the Fr. Van packets. I love love love the Dutch Chocolate packets but I can't stand the Dutch Chocolate RTDs!!

For some reason the FR Van RTDs are not as sweet as the packets and not as vanilla-y flavored. The packets just seem so fake vanilla flavor. Not a rich and deep flavor. I also can't stand the smell of it.

The Fr Van RTDs remind me of canned cow (Canned milk) and as a kid my Daddy used to make a cup of coffee for me with canned cow. Perhaps it is just the fragrance and the happy memory of the steaming 1/2 coffee 1/2 canned cow beverage that makes the RTDs so ejoyable, I dunno but I just like them. I prefer the Fr Van RTD over the Dutch Choc RTD any day and I am a chocoholic most of the time. Now if they could come up with a caramel flave...ahhhhh. I think I shall try some of Camille's fave sugar-free daVinci syrup mixed into a Fr. Vanilla packet and see how that tastes!

[Sylvia]

Hmmm. Might need to order some. I think the choc rtd's are OK. I prefer the packets but drink the rtd's when out and about or traveling.

If I order Fr Van RTD, will I have to change my name, lol? I'm seriously considering trying some if the availability at that price continues a few more days. They would come in handy. THanks for bringing this up, MomJackieLee.

LOL! How different we all are! i LOVE the french vanilla packets, but have found I'm not entirely in love with the vanilla RTD's...they'll do in a pinch, but they aren't my first choice.
The french vanilla packets taste like yellow cake batter to me! LOL Remember as a kid when your mom let you lick the beaters and bowl when she made a cake? That's what it reminds me off.
Strange, I know! LOL

Funny - that's exactly what the Fr Vanilla packets taste like to me too - yellow cake batter. I liked the first one I had so much that I bought several boxes. I found out that a little bit of cake batter goes a really long way! After drinking one or two more, I'm finding that the thought of them gets me feeling a bit queasy.

I have the Fr. Van RTD's and today I mixed it in my lukewarm coffee. It was Starbucks and it was like a latte! I did add a packet of stevia to it.

I like them plain too, but we had a meeting this morning (the reason for the coffee) and I wanted some cream so that was it!

I did order more, but I may have to go back and order again before the special expires or they run out.
