Hm… fantastic flanker or cough syrup? But a red bottle!
I know, right, with the red ❤️.
It’s red, it has cherry, somebody will buy it regardless.
(But also, I love cough syrup cherry)
The bottle is very cool.
It is!

do you know the price point yet?
No, I know very little. I think it’s coming out in early 2024.
Not a fan of the word salad name.
I guess they were stuck with trying to convey the cherry when they had to stick with “Black”, but yeah, “over red” is awkward.
I think I will stick to my very fond memories of the original I first wore in 1977 & continued to do so for many years, thank you!
