Vocal Point International Delight Iced Coffee Review

     Hey everyone, sorry it's been over a year since my last post. I had gotten really busy after moving, changing jobs twice and rearranging my life altogether. But, more on that later!

     Right now what I want to tell you about is an awesome new product my family delighted in trying; International Delight Iced Coffee. Recently I received coupons in the mail from one of my favorite online "Mom Communities" called Vocal Point. I know some of you will remember me mentioning Vocal Point before in passing but for those of you who have not had the pleasure it does deserve an overview. Vocal Point is an online community where moms can exchange reviews of products, get new recipes and cleaning ideas, talk about kids, and in general spread information and hopefully make the lives of the community a little better. One of my personal favorite parts of being a Vocal Point member is that they regularly have samples and coupons of commonly used household products. I have received samples of trash bags, a salad bag clip and coupons for trash bags, salad mixes, and a variety of other neat stuff that made my day when I received it but honestly escapes my mind at the moment. The most recent program I signed up for on Vocal Point was for their International Delight Iced Coffee coupons.

you can also find Vocalpoint on Facebook!

     Now the great thing about Vocal Point coupons is that they don't just send you ONE coupon. When you sign up for their coupons they send you one high value coupon for yourself (in this case it was $2 off one International Delight Iced Coffee) and 4-6 lower value coupons for your friends/family/network (75 cents off the same product). I really like that because when I find a product I enjoy, I love telling other people about it and it's nice to be able to encourage them to try it themselves with a neat coupon!  With the coupons I received for the International Delight promotion, I also got a reusable straw which my kids promptly relieved me of.

     But what IS International Delight Iced Coffee? It is pre-mixed 100% Arabica coffee, real milk and cream in a resealable refrigerated carton. Because it's pre-mixed, you get the same flavor every time whereas your at-home blends can vary by coffee strength, the ratio of creamer to coffee, and other variables. It is available in three different varieties Original, Mocha, and Vanilla. Unfortunately the Mocha was not available at my store but I did pick up the other two. My husband is a HUGE iced coffee drinker so he made the ultimate sacrifice by "testing" both varieties (he drank a full gallon of coffee in a day, boy did HE have a stomach ache the next day.)  For flavor he preferred the Original because he found it a little less sweet but as I said, he drank all of each in the same day, so Vanilla was not far behind. He loved the convenience of simply putting ice in his cup and pouring the coffee instead of having to make the coffee, wait for it to chill and then mixing it himself. As far as value goes it is regularly priced at 4.75/ half gallon at my store, which sounds a little steep until you consider that your coffee, milk/creamer, and sugar are all pre-mixed so you don't have to buy all the ingredients. I found it well worth the price.

     The ONE issue we had with it is that the product is very thick and sits heavily in your stomach; my husband drinks coffee all day every day and tried treating this drink as he would his own coffee. He wound up with a stomach ache. But, after watering it down with regular coffee he found he was able to not only stretch how long the Iced Coffee lasted, but he also was able to avoid the discomfort.

    Overall we were VERY satisfied with International Delight Iced Coffee, and I DEFINITELY recommend it. The product is well worth the price you pay for it.

     When I post again we will either be checking out the Neem Face Mask or Tresemme Split End Remedy- till then go check out Vocal Point and find your own deals. :-)
