Sheetz Coconut Surprise
February 23, 2004
So, this morning as I go to work on a Monday, I decide to stop by Sheetz to get some breakfast before I head to the office. Sheetz in Johnstown near the Galleria has become my Sheetz of choice.
I go in and punch in that I want a sausage shmuffin, but then I remember that they have the breakfast convienence cart for people on the go and there is normally something good and quick there. I cancel my order and look around for the cart.
As I do, they are wheeling the cart back to the kitchen, with only bacon shmuffins on it. Eeewwww anyway.
I retreat back to the touchscreen ordering system to order a simple bagel in hopes that it would be quick. Before you press "complete order" a window pops up saying "Wanna get a Sheetz Big Deal?" Apparently a big deal is a hot drink for only 60 cents. With it being Monday and all, I decide that I could use the caffeine and say yes. Off to the coffee counter I go.
Not wanting coffee, I look to the cappucino. What is up with the flavors? I want a simple French Vanilla, but none to be found. Chocolate covered strawberry, no. Chocolate covered banana, no. Fat free vanilla, no. S'more, sure. I could survive the marshmallow and chocolate combo. I fill up my cup and go pay. Only $1.49! Woohoo.
So I make it to work and start to drink my S'more drink. Coconut? It was the only flavor I could taste, which I hate the taste of, but somehow it worked for the drink. I kinda enjoy it. But it begs the question.
Who the heck puts coconut on their S'more? Not even the Hershey mentions that one as a variation.

Coconut is perhaps THE nastiest flavor known to man. That is the only reason, I think, that I have not tried out for Survivor. Well that and the fact that I hate nature. And dirt.
And you know what I saw on the Today show? Bagels are bad for maintaining an even level of blood sugar. I was obviously unaware of this, and may have to augment my regular breakfast routine. I'm not sure where shmuffins rank, though...

Donna ... you are a trooper not a survivor. What were you thinking?
I bet they rank between Egg McMuffins and Shmagles. Oh and this coconut stuff was ok hot, but as it cooled, got really nasty. I had to toss it. Maybe tomorrow I'll try Chocolate Covered Banana's and hope for a marshmallow taste.

Shmuffins and Shmagels...I love saying these words outloud! But for breakfast, you really should go to a diner, Brian. A gas station is not a restaurant!
