Had to change my mind about fasting. I showed up for a Berryline date with my freshman year roommate and got the iced mocha with skim milk and Equal ($3.62). I then realized with a sense of dread that there was maple syrup on the coffee bar. Having not sampled this supplement was almost criminal, so I ordered a small apple cinnamon with toffee bits ($3.36). The syrup worked wonderfully with the already delicious concoction, which I believe I have previous reviewed.
Now for the iced mocha. When I was growing up and it was really cold, I used to love hot chocolate (OK I still do). I would sometimes have hot chocolate every day. I wouldn’t necessarily finish the cup every day (sugar overload) and a few times may have left the half-filled mug, say, on the windowsill. The next day I would have my new, warmer hot chocolate, but every once in a great while might accidentally reach for the wrong cup and end up with a sip from the stale, chilly remains of what could have been a great drink.
The guy who invented the iced mocha had the same experience happen to him, and decided that he wanted it to happen more often, except bitter and watered down.
First post-diet meal (sushi) very soon.
Total cost: $6.98
