’Frijj’ Extreme - R.I.P.
« on: September 23, 2005, 05:54:02 am »

gotta say, ive loved th Frijj shakes since they started back in the mid 90's.  perfection. a few years back they released the Frijj-Extreme flavours... they were pricier, THICKER BY DOUBLE and had seriously evil flavours: double-choc (which you literally had to chew!) and White Choc - WHICH WAS TRULY AMAZING! it was like swallowing pure cream and tasted like heaven.... then, they sort of vanished for a while..


imagine my delight yesterday when they turned up in the new Morrisons store down the road forom me. yay! i bought 2 of the White Chocs and prepared for something close to orgasmic pleasure... BUT OH DEAR. they were very different indeed.


has anyone else noticed this? it seems the White Choc Frijj's are a mere shadow of their former selves. what once was pure, creamy milky-bar in a bottle, is now resembling a stale vanilla McDonalds shake! i gotta say - im heartbroken. and everyone ive spoken to dioesnt seem to understand or remember...


PLEASE - IS THERE ANY1 OUT THERE WHO'S NOTICED THIS? I NEED TO KNOW I'M NOT IMAGINING THINGS!!!!!!

I don't like thick gluppy shakes. Sorry can't help here as I never drink Frijjis. My kids do though.

Yes my son had pointed this out to me!  I'm a fan of the Chocolate Brownie ones myself.

I have not had a Frijj shake in years. I always used to get the banana one.

Its not the best. Try M&S Banana Milkshake. That is something
special. Its lovely and quick and really tasty. I have only tried the
banana one so far.



Tesco Finest Strawberry and Yogurt milkshake is also rather good

The banana, strawberry and choc flavours are the WORST Frijj flavours.



Choc brownie and white chocolate however are HEAVEN. I havent noticed
any change. Im always buying 2 white choc flavours, or one white choc
and one choc brownie when they are on BOGOF at Morrisons (they seem to
be permanently BOGOF).



Rasberry doughnut flavour however was minging.

I agree about the raspberry doughnut flavour kevvosa.  Choc Chick did you mean that the M & S banana shakes were 'lovely and quick'.  I'm confused!

I dread to think what choc-chick means when she says "lovely and quick"

just had my 1st choc-brownie today - EUCK! it was like eating pure, concentrated evil... like everything from a list of what not to eat was put in a blender and sold to the public in a bottle... truly horrible stuff!


still a big fan of the original choc flavour. i wish theyd bring back the extreme brand.

I'm sure they will make a Frijj Xmas Cake flavour in due course.
