Question Torani SF syrups: difference in regular/classic flavors? Your taste buds' thoughts?

I didn't know Torani made so many varities of SF syrups! So I'm looking to place an order on their site and want to know-- is there really a difference between:

SF Caramel syrup
SF Classic Caramel syrup (sharper, darker caramel taste)
Salted Caramel??

Which do you prefer?

Also, same for the hazelnut/ classic hazelnut?

Are there any you don't like, or were disappointed with? I know I do not want peppermint, upsets my stomach just thinking about it. But the S'mores? Is it good? The coconut? How about the PB?

I want to buy the orange so I can make my orange chicken have more bang to it. But now I'm not sure which to get!

Definitely want to try the Almond Roca--new!
And pb? OMG I LOVE MY PB! Must have that one too I guess.
And one more, to make 3, but which one, WHICH ONE?!!

WOW! I can't believe how FAST my syrups got here! Just 2 days later!!

Okay, so as you can see, I ordered the
Peanut Butter
Almond Roca
Belgian Cookie

What I GOT was
Peanut Butter
Almond Roca
CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH!

Whaaaa!!??!!

Called them right away, someone got it really wrong. Even my packing slip says Belgian cookie, contents include, Belgian cookie....

They said I could keep the chocolate chip cookie dough and they'll send me the belgian cookie right away, no problem!

YAY! So I lucked out, because I was torn between choc chip cookie dough and belgian cookie. I'll get both now, thank you Torani!!

SO:

The Almond Roca........... tastes okay, but not like Almond Roca. Just tastes ........ sweet, to me.

Choc cookie dough....... same thing. Can't tell WHAT it is, just tastes sweet.

Sipped them right from the bottle.

PB? Haven't tried it yet, but WILL make me some hot cocoa later and try it!

I DO have a small bottle of SF hazelnut and so far, it seems to be the only one of the 4 I have that tastes like what it should taste like.

And a sf chocolate too--it's really good!!

Really disappointed about the almond roca....... maybe if I try it in something other than fresh brewed espresso it'll taste more like itself? Will try in a minute muffin.

HIGH HOPES for the PB now!

I was going to get the orange........to make orange chicken. Then I got to thinking about the price. And no one had a chance to come on here and let me know if it was any good or not. I got to thinking, what else can I try to use to make my orange chicken, more, orange?

Then it hit me: SF orange Jell-o powder! I'll try THAT and see!

I might hate it, might end up getting the SF Orange Torani after all.......

Let you all know how the SF PB is later!!

If you can find one in your area, you might want to do your shopping at a restaurant supply store. Da Vinci syrups (750ml) are $4.99, Torani are about a buck more. I just bought some caramel for a recipe I want to try, but usually stick to the fruit flavors. We love raspberry, cherry, and strawberry (no fakiness at all!). Not wild about the chocolate or the Kahlua, couldn't stand the white chocolate (gave it to a friend who loves it.)

If you have a Cash and Carry or some other canned food store, try there. I get Da Vinci's for 3.50 a bottle (750 ml). I like all the flavors....
