Scribbles About Food: Cupcake Frappuccino

Heyyy guys! Halfway done with tryin these fraps! This is one of the ones I was more excited about... did it deliver? Welll...

This one I was the least impressed with because... it tasted exactly like their Birthday Cake Frap... but it wasn't quite as flavorful. It was just basically a vanilla bean... so of all these so far, this is the most boring.

I felt like with the other flavors I've tried, they were doing something wayyy different. The Red Velvet was like a really chocolatey frap, but it got the flavor down RIGHT! The Lemon Bar was 100% on the flavor and it tasted really really good and so so different than any frozen coffee drink I've tried so far.  So those two were really special and this one... is less special.

And I know I said it tastes pretty much exactly like the Birthday Cake, but I'm also saying I don't really like it when I really liked the Birthday Cake... well... yeah. Its half cause the birthday cake was limited edition, so that made it really special. And it was very different than any other fraps at the time... and it was also more flavorful than this Cupcake one. It was good, but I don't think I'd say it was the same exact thing. I feel like this is a disappointing version of the Birthday Cake frap... so if you were expecting this to be like the Birthday Cake Frap... it isn't quite there. And if you liked the Birthday Cake Frap, you may not necessarily like this one.

I don't want to totally bash it because I did drink the whole thing, and when I first started drinking it I was like "ooohhhh this is pretty good." But then it just got more and more flavorless and it doesn't taste anything like coffee and it isn't bad. Its not like I was ever disgusted by it and spit it out... but I probably wouldn't order this again. I think there is a vote to make one permanent or something like that... but this one is not it!

So thats about it for that... I think I will be trying the Cotton Candy next. I'm very curious about the other 2 as well... which is why I'm saving them for last... but yeah! I will definitely review it even if it tastes like something I've already reviewed.

Is it better than Cool Ranch Doritos? No. Not even half as good as Cool Ranch Doritos. The flavor sophistication isn't quite there.

Byeeee! Let me know what frap is your fave!!!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Throwback Thursday: The Incredibles

This is one of the more underrated movies in the Pixar Universe... thatI think is actually getting more popular now than it was back when it was released... so that's good. I think it really stands the test of time... but it still isn't one of my favorites. This movie I think is pretty cool because it was the first time Pixar really used humans. When I was little I thought "Toys, Bugs, Monsters, Fish... the next movie will be about dogs!" And I was surprised it was this! I didn't know Pixar could do that! But I guess technically its about heroes and not humans... but then Pixar began to show more humans in their world and The Pixar Theory was started... and yeah. I just kind of want to state my opinion on the Pixar Theory here too cause why not: I don't believe that Pixar set out to create this elaborate world with all the movies connected... but I do still believe it exists in some way shape of form. It all adds up and checks out... so for me... somehow t...

Rereading My Favorite Thing I Wrote In College

Hey guys! I'd say "today's post is a little different" but they're all kind of different to begin with... so this might end up being the same- or at least something that can fit into this blog in a nice way. So I don't want to post the actual thing that I wrote... but in my college Creative Writing Class that I took at 21 we needed to write a fantastical realism short story. And I wrote something that I always liked. The lead character was a smart and sassy woman... the fantastical elements were exciting and unique... and the story as a whole had a cute ending and a good message... and I really liked the way that I took what happened in my real life and changed it into this amazing and fantastical thing. Re-reading it... it was still pretty good. I actually liked the ending a little bit better because it had a nice message about believing in yourself that I kind of just snuck in there without much thought... and there was a cute little love story. I liked ...
