Please Don’t Tell My Friends…
…but I tried an espresso drink from McDonald’s. So sue me!!! It was Sunday evening, I was on the road, and nothing else was open.
But you should be glad that I tried it so you don’t have to. It tastes exactly like you’d expect espresso drinks from McDonald’s to taste: like sugar and water. Blech!!
So yeah, please PLEASE don’t tell my friends.

Aren’t you supposed to be banished from the Pacific Northwest for such an outrage?

Whatever. I still love you. You did brush your teeth since then, right?

Jason…Jason….Jason…. poor Jason. Are your taste buds alright? You didn’t kill them did you?

Yes, I’ve brushed my toothes since then. And how could it kill my tastebuds if it doesn’t taste like anything?

Espresso from McDonalds? You can finally do all the things Starbucks prevents you from doing, like reading magazines or listening to anything but jazz. You, my brother, have been freed from the oppressive yoke of Seattle-based coffee drinking establishments. Count yourself lucky to be a leader in the coming cafe revolution!

Against my urging, Sandy went into McDonalds in Aomori and bought a matcha “flurry”, which she said was really good. Also, the cashiers were super friendly and super excited to have an American in their store.

Listen, I have had an espresso drink from a McDonald’s in Japan. They’ve had it since at least 2001. And let me tell you, Japanese McDonald’s espresso drinks are EXPONENTIALLY better than the crap I had on Sunday.

Interestingly enough, everything I’ve ever tried at McDonald’s tastes like what you would expect that particular food item to taste were it provided by McDonald’s.
Isn’t that weird?

It’s not what you’d expect at all.
