Frappe cups.
Jul 5th, 2008 by satisfyte
Hey there, it’s me, Captain Randomly-Abandons-Her-Blog. : ) Ok…well, I changed jobs and may have ah, gotten engaged, but ya know, excuses excuses right? haha But I’m back, beeyatch! And I have a new satisfying thing for you Summer satisfytes to ponder - the frappe.
If you’re not from New England, you’re probably like “um, what?” I think other folks refer to this as a milkshake…it’s ice cream, syrup and milk all mixed together so it’s nice and cold and creamy, often requiring some serious sucking power to get it up a straw. Beyond the satisfaction in the creamy consistency of a chilly frappe, it’s more in the actual container you drink it out of. I don’t know what makes it different when a frappe is in it, but a paper cup with a frappe inside makes a delightful sound when you put it on a table or countertop. You could fill the very same cup with soda and ice, and it wouldn’t have the same effect. They’re usually in those cups that have that retro 80s crayon scribble on them (see the killer image I wrangled up on Google Images.)
There’s this solid sound when you put a frappe down after taking a nice long sip (if you’re able to wrench it out of your mitt long enough to put it down because it’s so good you don’t want to let go of it), and it’s like “yes. I have a substantial drink right here. Oh, you’re drinking a diet Sprite?…man, I’m sorry about that. Too bad you’re not having a nice big gulp of semi-frozen creamy awesomeness.”
Free swim season at your local pool = satisfying. Frappe Season = wicked satisfying.
