Not So Smoothie
On my way home from work yesterday, I had a craving for a sweet treat so I stopped by the local Dairy Queen. Rather than order a hot fudge caramel malt, I opted for what I thought would be the healthier option - a Strawberry Premuim Fruit Smoothie. The menu said it was "a blend of real strawberries and non-fat yogurt." ----- Oh, how easily we are deceived. I really wanted to believe that I would be getting a real fruit smoothie. Not so. When I tasted it, I realized that Dairy Queen and I have very different definitions of the word PREMIUM. And the word FRUIT. And the word SMOOTHIE. My first sip of this drink was my last. And now I know why. The picture below is what I found in my car this morning because I forgot to bring the drink in and throw it away last night. This is the reason I only drink smoothies made at home or at Jamba Juice:
Today I went to the website of Orange Julius (which is now part of Dairy Queen?) and discovered the real ingredients in this Strawberry Premium Fruit Smoothie: Ice, Non-Fat Vanilla Liquid Yogurt, and Strawberry Fruit Beverage Mix. I've now decided that DQ stands for Deception Queen.
