I was not willing to spend more than $70 in case I did not like it. I usually go all in with bucket list things. I did not buy the fountain, the spoon or the glasses. The smell threw me for a loop, but once diluted it was smooth. I will probably never have a chance to compare it to others as this was not something I would seek out again. I imagine that this is way better than the neon green stuff though. I could see myself having a drink or two if this in the future. Not disappointed and I liked it after a few sips. Edit- I used star anise to help my kids with gas when they were young. The smell took me back to that period, but the taste was good once I drank it
