Frappio

Hmmm. Frappio. Interesting product name. It’s a new bev from 7-eleven & yet has such a familiar name, no? altho pls: it’s not like "frappuccino" wuz original either: starbucks adopted it from a coffee chain which stole it from the locals’ weird name for a milkshake. Anyway, frappio = coffee-energy-drink hybrid w/ caffeine PLUS a "patented, all-natural herb" ashwangandha aka Indian ginseng, which has been used to treat rheumatism, leprosy, & arthritis and which 7-one-one claims will not only pep you up (in a "jitter-free" way) but suppress your appetite too sorta like speed, I guess

Man, I can hardly wait! That stuff is going to clear my leprosy right up.

I think 7-11 should do a product extension: a psyllium-based energy drink called "Crappio."

perhaps i should add that this item just proves tg will go ANYWHERE for a story. and she got a starbucks mention in, too. now if she could have just squeezed in somthing from sonic, jack in the box or target, it would have been a real killer of an item.

the spot is an integral part of what i like to call "the NYCE look". the spot makes NYCE photos what they are. without the spot, they'd be just another blog's photos. would you remove cindy crawford's mole? no. would you fill in the gap in between david letterman's teef? negatory. would you make the eyes on a modigliani woman symmetrical? of course not. for that reason (and so many more), THE SPOT STAYS

I am such a sucker for new beverages. And I'll drink them and not even like them.

I drank "Diet Coke with Lemon" for months JUST because it was allegedly "new and improved." Somehow that blinded me to the fact that the drink actually tasted like someone had added detergent to a Diet Coke.

I'm so glad you commented on my blog the other day, as it took me here. Your blog is GREAT.

And I take your comment to heart. I really do. I subscribe to a number of magazines, but sometimes there are those ones you just want to flip through..... It's hard to resist. But I BOUGHT the one I wanted today and it was well worth the splurge. And I thought of you.
