With a guest and two days, this hungry ferret blew through all the pre-allocated money pretty easily but still being really full. The best part of these events, just because you don’t have any money left, doesn’t mean there aren’t any more good eats. There are plenty of freebies, trial and samples. I had the lucky to grab these freebies and had a good time with them. This hungry ferret needed a walk anyways.
Coca cola had a small stand offering free samples of a couple of drinks.
They had a new type of soda called Cascal, http://www.cheerscascal.com/. They were offering it as adult soda with a sophisticated taste. They are 100% natural, fermented carbonation, and mixed with new spices.
If the definition of sophisticated they mean nasty, then this is what this soda is. They somehow took all the bad stuff in adult drinks and placed it in a bottle. I would pass on this one, and hopefully they will shutdown soon and nobody would be hurt by this release.
Day 2, the Coca cola booth offered a sample of Illy Coffee.
The Cans in person are very attractive.
Cappuccino was pre-sweetened but not too much. It had nice coffee notes and very enjoyable.
Latte was pre-sweetened also, it had more milk than the cappuccino. This drink was also very enjoyable and good.
Cafe which is like a pre-sweetened espresso shot, was good, but I have to warn people that this is straight up coffee, no milk whatsoever and might be too harsh for some.
Maker’s Mark was also giving out bottles of sauce on a two hour interval.
Bourbon was infused into this sauce.
They Sealed the bottle with wax for that nice Maker’s mark look on the spot.
Bottle of the sauce finished. Nice presentation.
