I've heard some people complain about this stuff because it doesn't taste sweet, but actually it's closer to the original one. This kissing potion is just like the one they had in the seventies(this is what my older sis claims)! It just smelled good, but had no taste! I remember that in the late eighties and early nineties they another version of kissing potion, but that stuff wasn't like the original since it was too sweet. I also love the new flavors(I got Cherry Cola) and the shine is like vinyl! I bet those girls in the Wet Look lipstick ad had this gloss on ;)
