Weekend Small Talk: Drink Up!
I'm an unrepentant soda monster. I don't care how knows it. I've recently fallen into a terrible habit of kicking off my day with a glorious, ice cold Mountain Dew. The Dew has to be some sort of drug. I often go in and out of phases with drinks; in college I was addicted to Dr. Pepper which I began to affectionately call The Pepper M.D. Now and then a root beer phase will come in and some times, I just want Gatorade.
Why am I rambling about this? Well, because this week's Small Talk is going to be about favorite drinks? What are your favorite beverages? And I'm talking from coffee to aqua to booze. If you could only have five drinks for the rest of your life, what would they be?
5. Mountain Dew. I'm addicted. If heroin was a liquid and delcious, it still wouldn't match my addiction to the Dew.
4. Amstel Light: I don't particularly like Amstel Light but I don't particularly taste it ether and when it comes to beer, that's a winner for me. Just go down the hatch and kill the brain cells. No need to this whole bouquet/flavor/aftertaste bullshit.
3. Chocolate Fribbles (or Awful Awfuls): I almost went with hot chocolate here but I rarely if ever drink it. The one thing that I have been craving though is the extra thick shake from Friendy's (or the one from the Newport Creamery). One of the worst things about living in Southern California is that there are no Friendlies out here. I went to Friendly's website to find the closest one to me and the answer was Defiance, OH. People can talk about In & Out all they want but give me a Friendly's or Dunkin' Donuts anyday. (Dunkin Donuts doesn't even tease me with a nearest location. They just say no results found).
2. Cherry Coke. The CVS next to my work hasn't been stocked up on Cherry Coke this week and I actually made a point to seek out the manager to ask him what was up. So not only do I drink too much soda but I'm becoming a crotchety old man.
1. Chocalate Milk. Nothing better than dumping way too much Hershey's Syrup into a big glass of milk, stirring it up, and chugging it down.
Needless to say, I'm a very healthy person.
Honorable Mention goes to water. Dasani or Smart. Something about Arrowhead just doesn't do it for me.
