As I got older, and had my own car, trips to the store just for this incredible drink alone was a well worth it kind of trip!
So it was very natural for me to introduce them to my children. Kind of like a legacy that I'm passing down for them to enjoy too!! They come in all flavors - but the two most popular are cherry and coke! Imagine my surprise and utter delight when I saw a sign at a local Burger King that they were now offering this wonderful treat - ANY SIZE ONLY 0.99 cents!!!
Oh yeah!!! Can you say, "If you're good today, you'll get a special treat?!"
I don't know how it happened - I've always called this drink by its proper trademark & registered name. ALWAYS! (why mess with greatness?) However, forever this drink will have a new name. My 3 year old son - who knows how he came up with this - began to call them FREEZERS!
He was crying in the store one day, saying he was thirsty for a "freezer". I finally deciphered what he was actually saying - but then I had to figure out what it actually meant! Then I realized we were standing in a store where he had a direct (I mean bee-line) sight for the sign in the Burger King window.
Ahhh!!! He too had caught the bug for the wonderful summer-pleasing drink! Just the sight of the sign incited him to start begging!
What drink am I referring too?
After school just last week I pulled up to Burger King - order our standard 2 cherry and 1 coke "freezers" (of course I had to say ICEE's - otherwise they would think I was a crazy woman) - and my cost of outrageous!!! What happened to 0.99 cents! To my utter dismay - the summer special of our all favorite freezers had come to an end. {insert tears}
At this cost... we might as well go to Sonic and get a Flushie...
interpretation... Slushie!
I know we're all excited about the incredible weather of Fall.
But I'm going to miss our frequent trips for
Freezers and Flushies!
What summer delights are you saying good-bye to as Fall approaches?
