- SPANGRAM: FLAVOR OF HOLIDAY

- My score: Perfect
Call me fussy, but I’m not a huge fan of raw eggs in drinks and just the idea of them makes me suddenly feel sick – so, yes, I’ll pass on the eggnog.
Every other Christmas / HOLIDAY FLAVOR then they are all in, although my favorite – cinnamon – didn’t make today’s short and sweet Strands. What is strange, as you definitely ranked it higher in the list of PEPPERMINT, which has 12 months of the year to show on people’s taste buds thanks to its dominance of the gum markets and toothpaste. Mmmmm…the holiday taste of toothpaste.
How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know.
