10:49 AM >> Cappucino Bliss

Golly, Corporal, so much politics.

Alright, enough with the bad e-Gomer Pyle impersonations.

Last night I had QT's frozen Cappucino beverage. It was dannnnggggg good. I went in to have a hot cup of their Peanut Butter Hot Chocolate, but all the machines were being serviced by one of the staff. His method of servicing the machines involve banging the drink powder holders within the machine over and over to loosen the partcles. It's much the same process that people in offices use to extend the life of their printer toner cartridges because they can't read the directions well enough to be able to replace the toner when the warning comes up.

So the machines were down. I needed a fix. Right next to the hot beverage section were two perpetually spinning frozen drink stations. Had I never seen them before? They looked appetizing enough. Why had I never tried? hUm? But timing was right last night. The planets were aligned and such.

My choices were: frozen cappucino or a frozen steamed milk drink. I went for the capp. Awesome. And cheap. It is very much like Dunkin' Doughnut's Moo-Latta drink and I think DQ has a frosty coffee flavored ice creamy type drink. It was creamy. Sweet. And only costs $0.69 for a 10 or 12 ounce cup. That drink at the aforementioned places would cost over $3.00, no dought. So as far as flavor cost, it's a close battle, neck-and-neck, photo finish, whatever. But in terms of price QT knocks the other guys flat on their frozen steamers.
