And therefore ... therefore I position the ii to a sense of savour exam amongst some of my 'testers' (aka, friends who very willingly elbow grease out my 'stuff' in addition to laissez passer on their real honest feedback).
Well, the votes on this 1 were an fifty-fifty tie. I myself preferred the softer version, every bit did a few of my sense of savour testers. But an equal position out preferred the crunchy version. Which version 1 prefers, I guess, is exactly a affair of texture preference.
Regardless of the version ... crunchy ... or softer ... the sense of savour is fabulous. And this materials makes a super vacation give-away treat.
