The Most Disgusting Smoothie Ever
February 23, 2008 Filed Under: Babysitting, Pet Peeves, Yummy! 355 words
I finished babysitting at midnight and I was sleepy. So what does a non-coffee drinker decide to do? Hit up Dunkin’ Donuts and order a smoothie! Little did I know that the only person working at Young Circle Dunkin’ Donuts that night had no idea how to make a smoothie.
First, I ordered the Tropical Smoothie. Why? Because that’s what I like. She says there’s none of those, only Strawberry Banana and Mango Passion. I say I’ll take the Mango Passion and a Apple n’ Spice donut. Not too hard. You throw some mango mix, throw some passion mix, squirt a little yogurt, and fill the blender with the appropriate amount of ice. Blend, throw it in the cup, pop on the lid, and hand it to the customer. Trust me, I know! I used to work at Einstein’s.
So she hands me something (yes, something!), and I go into my car. I noticed that it was thicker than usual and also that it was the color of the Tropical Smoothie, so I tasted it before driving off. YUCK! I went back in and told her that it doesn’t taste right. I wait 15 minutes while she’s helping other people so that I can have the smoothie remade.
The new smoothie was still the wrong consistency, but it was the right color. I taste it and it taste like mangoes but no passion fruit. I decide that it’s no use having her remake it again because she can’t follow simple instructions (yes, they have instruction sheets that they can look at should they forget–or not know in the first place–how to make a simple drink). While it wasn’t disgusting, it was still too thick. I think she probably put ice cream instead of yogurt or only used the mango base and lite ice or something like that. If you’ve ever had a Dunkin’ Donuts smoothie, then you know that it’s usually an icy drink. It’s definitely not supposed to be the consistency of a malt.
I drive home deciding that I wasted my $5.60 that I just got. The donut wasn’t too hot either, by the way.
