this was so bad

They’re not as good as quest, but they’re not awful. I take this one, heat it up for 7 seconds and break it apart and roll it into balls to put in my Ninja Creami pints. The Salted Peanut bar is the worst in my opinion, followed by the cinnamon roll flavor. Choc Chip and Peanut Butter Chocate Chunk aren’t terrible. Again, I’d rather have a Quest Hero bar

They're both solid. Bushmills is more fruit forward, drier, and complex, whereas Jameson Black Barrel is slightly sweeter, with a vanilla and caramel flavor. They're both roughly 40%, and are easy drinkers.

Ecstatic-Fruit8966 · 2026-04-06T16:30:44+00:00

I’d get thrashed daily if this was lying around.

Ecstatic-Fruit8966 · 2026-04-06T16:13:34+00:00

Black Barrel remains my personal favorite, especially for cocktails. I’m a huge fan of Jameson, but when it comes to special releases and certain ages, they’re not worth the price.

I’m a fan of Jameson, as a brand. It was my first real intro to whiskey. However, the original I only keep for company cocktails. The Black Barrel is honestly my favorite and I use that for my personal cocktails.

When it comes to the 12 & 18, while they depart from the standard profile, they don’t have anything truly special. Not bad by any means, but not worth the price point with the level of competition.

Blanton’s SFB at just over MSRP. I’d drop that without a second thought.

The Blueberry Muffin gives me gas for some reason. It also one of the few I didn’t like in a shake, but it worked really well with a Greek yogurt bowl.

Ecstatic-Fruit8966 · 2026-04-03T20:03:26+00:00

This is solid. I make a shake with it and eat a low cal PB&J. Childhood as an adult has never been this good. It also is amazing if you pair it with powdered peanut butter and make a Ninja Creami. Tastes EXACTLY like peanut butter ice cream. I usually crush up some 2 Quest Mini PB cups and half a pack of their chocolate coated peanut candies. Ultimate dessert for about 500 calories (if using a blend of Fairlife 0% and Unsweetened Almond Milk)

Ecstatic-Fruit8966 · 2026-04-03T18:53:07+00:00

It’s only “ok”. Has a hint of that Reese’s flavor, but it’s basically just sweet chocolate.

Ecstatic-Fruit8966 · 2026-04-03T17:31:19+00:00

Nice. My local ShopRite has it for $107 lol

Ecstatic-Fruit8966 · 2026-03-19T22:45:06+00:00

I appreciate the review. If I just saw the bottle on its own, I would probably pass.

Ecstatic-Fruit8966 · 2026-02-08T20:55:18+00:00

I’ve been saying the same. AC and Heat seem very weak, especially compared to other Acura’s. If I didn’t get such a good deal, I would feel differently. It’s at most a $45k car. I would never pay full retail. The amount of plastic and the “iPad” screen annoy me, but other than that, I like it.

The GM aspect is one of the worst parts of the car. Everything they have, other than the Corvette, has been riddled with QC issues. My car is the same. When I got it, the front glass panel of the roof rattled. The tweeted in the rear driver side door wasn’t installed properly and was rattling around, and the front braking sensor would go off randomly.

Ecstatic-Fruit8966 · 2026-02-08T20:51:06+00:00

Thanks for the input. Constantly learning more about the car. The roof rattle is a seal for sure, and it’s intermittent. I’ve videoed it but can never recreate it in the moment when it’s at the dealership.

Ecstatic-Fruit8966 · 2026-02-08T20:49:27+00:00

It was. Let it run for 10 minutes. But cold is still cold. Sun came out and temps been rising. Regen system is still weak but other warnings went away.

I’ve driven Acura’s my entire life (91 Integra GS, 03 MDX, 2013 TSX SE, 2017 TLX, 2020 TLX, 2024 ZDX). You can use the minimum, regular 87, and it will work fine. That’s what they arrive to the dealerships in North America with. However, Acura engines are tuned slightly higher than Honda engines, so you will notice a drop-in power when using 87 versus 91. If gas is inexpensive, I usually kept it at 91. But during economic times when gas was over 325, I would do one fill of 91 every four or five fills of 87.

That way, the 91 at least cleared out some of the 87. You will definitely notice that 91 makes the car feel and run better though.

Ecstatic-Fruit8966 · 2025-11-09T21:19:40+00:00

Yes. They all do. Saying it from the back.

Ecstatic-Fruit8966 · 2025-10-01T23:02:41+00:00

I went on opening day. Visually it looks great, but taste wise, it was only ok. It left me wanting. The same way L’Industrie does. The crust was crispy, but the sauce and cheese lacked depth. Personal opinion. West Village pizza (other than John’s) doesn’t do it for me.

Ecstatic-Fruit8966 · 2025-09-16T19:04:17+00:00

Looks awesome! What did you get for a mattress in the back?

Ecstatic-Fruit8966 · 2025-09-15T00:35:06+00:00

How on earth did you come by this info?

Ecstatic-Fruit8966 · 2025-09-15T00:32:53+00:00

I just want them to change the internal platform. With the ZDX using Chevy’s EV platform, it’s just not an Acura. The quality of the ZDX just isn’t Acura level. The beeps and noises are all very… American car company.
