Personally, I am very upset to see the end of such a great duo. Though I have to say, I have tried both the "Mikes" and the :"Ikes", and they both maintain the great sweet taste I have always loved. I am still rooting for a reconciliation. Come on guys, if I can put up with my husband and his snoring, you have to be able to work out whatever your issues are.
