I feel like writing a piece on the abysmal state of coffee milkshakes in the country.


I've sampled a fair number of them -- fast food chains, diners, restaurants, gas-station-y type places, different states etc -- and I'm yet to find a single one that can't be renamed to sugar-sugar-sugar-and-oh-here's-some-coffee-milkshake.


Maybe along with the therapist voodoo dolls, we can also sell coffee milkshakes? It's like 'Here, let me soothe you in many different ways possible'?


Then again, current T had the most abysmal response when I told her I inhaled a whole pint of Ben & Jerry's Brownie Batter recently -- she tried very very hard to attempt to make sense of it by asking "So, the cream calmed you down?". Like really? Who says anything about calming cream when talking about B&J's? Sigh. The woman keeps giving me reasons to call it quits.


P.S. I'm open to other flavors as well but I must say that vanilla, chocolate (any type of chocolate) and strawberry are nowhere nearly as mangled as the coffee ones are.
