McDonald's is releasing a new product nationwide to it's overall offering.
The McLatte.
I thought I heard someone wrong this morning as I drank my boring, non-branded homemade coffee. But no, I didn't. McDonalds, trying to further diversify it's product offering and the ability to kill us all slowly with their lovely assortment of fats and insidious sugar highs and processed cheesiness, has decided it wants to compete more aggressively with Starbucks.
Are you McKidding me? Starbucks (though woefully pricey) has mastered the art of dressing coffee. McDonalds has mastered the art of a burger and fries. This is where food brands go horribly wrong. Ron doesn't know a thing about a latte. I could care less how much cheaper it is than the coffee empire down the road. I have no doubts it will be a sugary, candy confectioned nightmare with NO sugar-free syrups for those who don't want a 800 calorie morning pick me up.
This isn't new news apparently. The notion has been floating around since 2003 (possibly earlier), but this is the first I am hearing of it. Apparently McDonalds has been sampling this in other markets as well. Anyone see/heard/sipped?
Let's have a little fun, peeps. Everyone is so damned morose these days.
Please finish this question...
"How can I possibly be sexy when I...."
Here's mine.
"How can I possibly be sexy when I just fell out of my office chair by catching a wheel on the broken floor mat and tumbling over the side armrest?"
When you're finished laughing, please have fun at your own expense. I'll be here cleaning this coffee off the carpet...and I'd like to laugh with you, as I laugh at myself.
I was on a NaNoWriMo roll this weekend. It began on Friday, exploded on Saturday and still burned through Sunday. I'm kinda glad I had my burst early, so now I can work with manageable numbers through the remainder of the month. Something tells me when Turkey time rolls around, I will be consummed by lethargy - so it's good this inspiration hit when it did. I had a surge of ideas, so I jotted scenes down by late Sunday for things I was too tired to cover. Good news? I'm extremely excited about my project. Bad news? I realized 50K isn't nearly enough for me to tie up this story. S'alright though. Thanks to NaNoWriMo for jumpstarting my efforts to complete a full work. And by the way, Austin is the coolest place to be for writers who require fuel.
In between I managed to:
* do my laundry
* give the dog a bath
* scare the bejeezus out of myself with Celebrity Paranormal Project
* break my coffee hiatus
* end my eight month microwave strike
* admit to a virtual stranger that I have severe social anxiety
* make some initial plans for my summer '07 sojourn to Tokyo with my sibby
* developed a little initiative for myself on Blogger
