Mc D's Frappe'

[NutmegCarrera]

So I drink a fair amount of coffee. I'm not a coffee "snob", and am not stuck on Starbucks (nor am I diametrically opposed to going there).
My favorite haunt is the local, privately owned coffee shop where the owner knows me, and we chat a couple of weekday mornings when I stop in.
I do have a bit of a problem without the caffiene - if you catch my drift...

Now, the problem:
Somebody dropped a bunch of promotional coupons off in our lunch room for this new (in our region) product from McD's. The "Frappe".
Now, I do drink one of their iced coffee's every once in a while - but don't really care for their marketing-upgraded basic coffee. No surprise there.
But this "drink" is a problem! I have a big pile of coupons for these for "Free", which is difficult to get over (I'm pretty cheap).

Looked at their website today to see the statistics on this beast. I mentioned that I drink some coffee, right? Well this concoction has me WIRED for a good long time.
Turns out that in addition to 450 calories , there is a healthy 57g of sugar per SMALL serving.

What is this world coming to???

Coupons are going in the garbage!

They even put sugar on the fries.

[Oh Haha]

Blecccchhh.

Coffee should be hot and black.

My wife doesn't drink coffee but loves these Frappes.


Great marketing, however.

I just had an "NBA Big Box for $5.00" from Taco Bell for lunch.

Lotta food in there.

I feel like a nap now.

A buddy of mine figured out a way to get a bunch of free burrito coupons from Chipoltle or Qdoba or one of those places.

He gained a bunch of weight, then looked up on line and found out the one he was eating (with guac, sour cream, cheese, etc.) was over 1,000 calories.

I didn't get the 'Volcano" version so I should be good.

Looks like I'll be having a nice salad for supper tonight.

Absolutely. If I want a coffee milkshake I'll go to an ice cream place.

Starting off the day tomorrow the right way...
two shots in a nice italian roast.

Now,
anybody here heard of "Bacon Jam"?
Winter really bites- any extreme recreation consists of weird food items...

[JavaBrewer]

I love coffee

I have not spent a dime at McD in many a year. McD is evil. In-N-Out...ok I confess...but then not more than 1x every 2-3 months. Tops. Swear.

No, but I like these:

Okay, guys -
any redemption here???

And this is the "Bacon Jam".
Lots of bacon, salt, onion, and too much balsamic for my taste.

The dog might be getting lucky this week...
