I have to admit that hearing an informed opinion on Jarrito's Tamarindo is something I thought I'd NEVER encounter on this message board.

Tamarind is just an obscure fruit that I haven't developed a taste for. I remember when we had Vietnamese kids living next door and the kinds of flavors they thought were good together I found rather strange.
The cola is a new one on me, too. My wife loves Toronja (grapefruit), but that's not very common either. I'm finding the cola locally at some of the better Kroger stores around here (you know, the ones where the "International" section is more than just spaghetti, soy sauce and taco fixins). I think they probably just started stocking it because they couldn't keep the "Mexican Coke" on the shelves. I've always loved Trolli's "gummi cola bottles", and that's basically what Jarritos cola tastes like. Nom! Nom! ;D

Tamarind is nasty. As is durian. When I was in Thailand everybody was like, "here tastes this wonderful fruit that smells like old unwashed feet, smells like hell, tastes like heaven" and ya know what? That shizzle tastes like it smells. Old feet. Gross. Any concoction, no matter how watered down, that contains either I'm more than happy to steer clear of.

I buy it at Costco in 24 packs. It lasts forever since it's used exclusively for Rum & Coke's and that drink tastes sweeter to me every time I have it. At any rate, it seems like I pay a bit less than that, but I could be wrong.

Huh?? What'd I do?
@Le Chuck: I had Chips Ahoy chocolate chip cookies from that region that felt like they had dirt in them!

When I got back from 'stan the first time I kept asking if everything I ate tasted funny. Wife thought I was bonkers. She wasn't wrong, I finally figured it out. No grit. I was so used to eating food with sand in it that when I got stateside and had a burger I couldn't figure out why it wasn't crunchy.
