My dad loves Fresca. Along with Tab, Diet Sunkist and Diet Birch Beer.

 

I looked stuff up and they use EDTA as a preservative in Fresca and that's what we use to preserve blood for certain tests in our lab and I haven't been ok with it since haha

 

Drinking one rn! I didn't have my first one until last year cause I didn't really know what flavor it was. If I'd have known I would've jumped on board way sooner.

 

My brother just made a strawberry/tangerine/orange juice/peach yogurt smoothie...it's delicious.

 

Smoothies make me gag. Textural thing.

 

I love smoothies. But I drink the terrible ones filled with added sugars from coffee shacks, not the healthier ones with real blended fruit and stuff. There's a coffee shack here that makes awesome horrible for you smoothies and I am a nerd and drink one every time I ~reward myself for doing something out of my comfort zone.

 

Also I just wanna say I recently got on board with DQ. Growing up we didn't go there a lot cause my mom didn't like it. I'm not a big ice cream person either (I'm always cold and ice cream is cold so it makes me miserable) but the last few things I got from there were really good and I want to try more. I recently got a banana milkshake and I thought it'd taste kinda gross and artificial but they blended a real banana into it and it was soooo good.

 

I used to make smoothies for a living. They were sugary, and presented like they were healthy, and now I don't work there anymore idgaf. It was called Jamba Juice, and they can fuck off. Horrible people. Fuck them.

 

DQ is so freaking good.

 

ass

ass

 

What does Baja taste like?

 

Heaven

 

hard to explain. i was going to say it tasted like mountain dew with lime, but mountain dew is lime soda...so it's like a different lime flavor? maybe someone else can explain it better.

 

Tropical-limeish flavored..

 

adele said it best

 

Now if they would just bring Crystal Pepsi back once and for all...

 

The Walmart I went to didn't have any Baja Blast... might have been a good thing, I don't need to be drinking sugared soda anyway.

 

Surge, a blast from the past

I wasn't sure if DQ was nationwide, because their jingle on the commercials here says "that's what I like about Texas"

 

Is this something everyone knows? I always thought that was a healthy choice.

I don't go there because the nearest one is 20+ miles away, but now I am questioning the Juice It Up that I go to from time to time. Maybe I should look at the nutritional facts next time I go.

 

haha thats funny. I have heard that they are especially popular in Texas but I'm pretty sure they're all over the place

Not a huge DQ person (when I crave bad things for me ice cream is usually pretty far down the list haha) but I can get down with a blizzard every once in a while

 

I tried a Mtn Dew Pitch Black yesterday and dumped most of it out. Shit was horrible.

 

Definitely look at the nutrition facts and ingredients. At Jamba Juice, I know they have some smoothies that are made with sherbet and frozen yogurt, raising the sugar levels and making them unhealthier, but they also have some that are made with all fruit (which can still be a lot of sugar) and others that are made with greens. They've also expanded and make fresh pressed juices and stuff now too.

Smoothies/juicing in general can be a tricky thing b/c you're consuming a lot of fruit at once and getting less of the fiber (especially when juicing) - So normally, you might eat one apple and you'd get the skin and fiber from the whole thing, but in a smoothie you might be eating multiple apples, a bunch of strawberries, a banana, some pineapple, then they might add sherbet or honey... it can get out of control. I'd say go for something with spinach or kale in it. You can have some fruit too to balance things out, but if you're looking for something healthy, I'd try to mix it up with some veggies too.

 

Not sure if I've tried all the varieties of Mtn Dew, but I've had a bunch of them and none have impressed me.

 

Chinese Orange Cauliflower - Lean Green Nutrition Fiend

My wife made this last night and it was incredible.

 

It's sooooo bad I can't stand it

Tried it once while drunk and liked it but sober me hates it
