| Menu (late November 2011) |
Seeing them at the KCC Farmers' Market on a Saturday, I was impressed with the number of flavors I could choose from. I decided on something non-dairy-based, going with the watermelon-hibiscus combination. Each onopop is $3.

| Watermelon Hibiscus (Onopops) |
It was probably just the flavor I picked, but I got virtually zero flavor in the onopop. I was at least hoping for a little more watermelon hint or hibiscus essence, but all I really tasted was water. The color was an aggressive-looking dark maroon, which ultimately ended up being more of a tease than anything else.
Again, I give credit for the unique flavors, but at least on this occasion, it did not feel like $3 was too well-spent. That'll be a mental note for next time...perhaps I should try one of the dairy-based flavors.
