Me Want Food!
I can empathize with my friend Sandi. She’s in love with this horrible beverage called “bubble tea”. But the bubble tea she liked best was only sold at a shop in Gainesville, and that shop no longer exists. While it was still open she wanted to know who manufactured the bubble tea mix she so loved.
The best milkshakes I’ve ever had are at Wise’s Drug Store on University Avenue downtown. I’ve watched the girls behind the counter make them, and it’s remarkably simple: ice cream, milk, vanilla syrup. I used to be able to find Hershey’s vanilla syrup in Publix, but no more.
So, this afternoon I decided to request that my local Publix (called “Ghetto Publix” by someone I know who works there) get me some vanilla syrup. It took forever for the grocery manager to come out and see me, but he brought with him some pages with descriptions of various vanilla syrup products from different manufacturers. So, some day soon I may be enjoying delicious homemade milkshakes.
