Barber's Egg Nog

Let me begin by saying - I Love Egg Nog.  Now, while this is not about dining out - I wanted to comment on Barber's Egg Nog.

Every year, I start buying egg nog as soon as it goes on sale in the grocery stores and I drink it until I can no longer buy it.  I love egg nog - but not just any egg nog.  Over the last several years, I have tried a variety of brands of egg nog.  I would try two or three different brands every year - and every year I have come to the same conclusion - there is only ONE egg nog - Barber's Egg Nog.

I have always had a glass of egg nog each day, usually in the evening, and thoroughly enjoyed and even looked forward to that glass of egg nog throughout the day.  I even drink it from a champagne glass. 

Now, I settled on Barber's Egg Nog for a couple of reasons:  taste and its rich, creamy texture.  I love to just "sip" the egg nog (and no, I don't add anything to my egg nog).  So, having said that, image my disappointment this year when I bought my second carton of Barber's Egg Nog, only to find that it was no better than the first carton - which I had hoped was a fluke!

It's rich, creamy, thick texture - GONE.  It is as if it has been "watered down" - its consistency now not much thicker than a glass of milk.  This totally ruined my "egg nog" experience.

I guess I may be on the hunt for another brand of egg nog now - but I have one question first:

Barber's - why did you ruin the egg nog????
