We’re back with another review from the lovely Egyptian Cafe (and if you haven’t been to a World Cup game down there yet…why not? GO.) This week, we’re trying out another mix from the menu called One Sweet Life. And if you’re thinking “Gee, the pictures on these posts usually have something to do with the flavor being reviewed, but I don’t get it” then don’t worry…it’s completely unrelated. Sit back, relax, and enjoy our take on the Egyptian Cafe’s One Sweet Life.
Sam’s Take
I’ve tried OSL several times, in different bowls, and I still have no idea what’s in this flavor. I taste a buuunch of vanilla and get a pretty hefty “Cream Soda” flavor out of it. Cream soda is one of the things that makes the world go ’round, though, so I’m completely happy with that. The smoke is consistently thick, once you get the bowl hot, and there was even a nice to it. I may never figure out exactly what’s in the mix, so I’ll just delude myself and hopefully all of you by saying it’s a delightful blend of rainbows, cute puppies, hugs, and pie.
Mike’s Take
As much as I love rainbows, cute puppies, and hugs, I hope they didn’t blend any of those things up over at the Egyptian to make One Sweet Life. Like Sam, I was completely unable to get any flavor out of this mix besides vanilla. There was nothing beyond subtle hints of any sort of fruity flavors, and the mix had an almost smoky flavor, especially in our smaller Alien Phunnel Bowl. One Sweet Life also had some of the thickest smoke I’ve seen from a Layalina mix since we reviewed After School Special months ago. Whatever is in this mix, you’ll certainly enjoy it if you’re a vanilla fan, and frankly I’ve never met anyone who’s not.
