In this week’s culinary crusade, staff reporter Kanz Bitar returned to Starbucks to try a new drink.
Fruity Frappuccino Mix-up
Starbucks is still somewhat of a new thing to me since I’ve only ever tried three drinks from there so I decided to go back and try something new.
I ordered a Butterscotch Frappuccino mainly because I really like butterscotch. Excited to try it, I anticipated it to taste like butterscotch but for some weird reason all I could taste was mango. It was like I was drinking a mango frappuccino. I kept drinking it thinking the mango flavor would go away but it didn’t. So I asked my friend to try it and she said it tasted like butterscotch. So it was all in my head apparently.
I finished the whole drink, I thought it was really good but I still couldn’t shake the mango flavor, it didn’t taste like butterscotch at all to me.
It was a bit of a disappointment because I was excited for butterscotch but I actually liked the mango flavor even though it wasn’t actually mango flavored.
Maybe I was craving mango so that’s why I was tasting it, but I’ll never know I guess.
I’m excited to go back and try other drinks. So far I’ve enjoyed my journey at Starbucks and I can’t wait to try more.
Chicken McNuggets exceed expectations
In this week’s culinary crusade, staff reporter Kanz Bitar went over to McDonald’s to try Chicken McNuggets.
If I were to pick a fast food restaurant that everyone I know knows and have eaten at least once, it would be McDonalds. I don’t eat there often, but whenever I do I usually order french fries and ice cream. My friend recently found out that I’ve never tried their Chicken McNuggets and she was shocked cause they’re her favorite nuggets ever. She even likes them more than Chick-fil-A’s nuggets which seems controversial.
So this week I went to McDonald’s with her and ordered the 6-count nuggets. Surprisingly, I actually really liked them. I loved the crispy exterior and soft interior. The flavoring was good and I was full by the time I finished. I’m definitely going to eat them again.
I don’t know if I would say they’re better than the Chick-fil-A ones, but they come pretty close.
