 A little early to tell, but I seem to be favoring the Torani over the Da Vinci.  Da Vinci has a little bit of an odd aftertaste that I'm not getting with the Torani.  But I'll do some more "testing" :)

So far I don't care much for the butterscotch Da Vinci.

My currently favorite is the salter caramel.  Which is hilarious because I hated caramel flavored ANYTHING pre op.

 Oh, ditto on the Salted Caramel Torani! Thought I would like the Hazelnut but not so much. English Toffee is a winner, as is Red Raspberry.

 Greek Yogurt - pre surgery I liked the Fage single serve with the tiny cup of strawberry preserves on the side... I tried the Strawberry Torani today in the same manner and it was good.  Looking forward to the coconut, banana and pineapple testing to come.  Also tried caramel in yogurt - pretty good.

And I just finished a decaf espresso with salted caramel (Torani) and a little half and half.  Decent.  Normally I don't take anything in my coffee in the flavorings arena, but I haven't had any for a few weeks, so I'm toning it down with a little sweetness.  Sitting well, so far...
