Milkshakes


There are three classic flavors of milkshake: Chocolate, Vanilla and Strawberry. These are the three flavors that every self-respecting diner must adhere to or face harsh consequences and criticism. Milkshakes gained popularity in the  1950's (I think) through the use of "Malt shops". It's a classic drink dating back decades of delicious, awesome memories. 
It's a basic one today, but wow is it ever delicious.
And yes, my milkshake does bring... well you know the rest... I hope. 

And on to the top ten: 
1) Mint Chocolate Chip
2) Winning  
3) Julie Andrews
4) Really Good Haircuts
5) Fireworks 
6) Milkshakes
7) Bubble Gum 
8) Kittens 
9) Raindrops on Roses
10) Rock Band (Down 4)

Bubblegum


It's the flavor of childhood. When you put a piece of bubble gum the sugary rush you feel is almost instantaneous. It's like god made you to enjoy sugar, and you do this by enjoying the burst of freshness that only bubble gum can provide. Ok, that analogy really didn't make much sense I guess... 
The point is bubble gum is sweet. (You see that? That's a double entendre. It doesn't always have to be a sexual thing! That's what she said... sorry, the joke as kind of taken over my life. I don't even watch the office!) Bubble gum is wonderful. You can chew it and taste the deliciousness, (don't say it...) Or you can blow it into large pink bubbles. (don't say it...) Bubble gum is what would happen if you could make edible silly putty. It's gooey, delicious and above all things playful. It's childhood nostalgia at it's best. 
However it does lose points for being sticky. Not that there's a problem with that, but once it's been stuck to the bottom of my shoe, the sticky factor knocks it down a point or two...

So the standings are as follows: 
1) Mint Chocolate Chip
2) Winning (no change) 
3) Fireworks (up one from last entry)
4) Bubble gum
5) Rock Band (no change)
6) Kittens (down two from last entry due to the fact that I was scratched by one) 
7)...
8)...
9)...
10)...

Fireworks




Whether it's the bright burst of colour, the sudden rush of exhilaration or our universal love of loud noises, there is something carnal and fascinating about fireworks. They're beautiful. They're intriguing. They're mysterious. They're like Cher in explosion form. They also don't need to be good at singing, dancing or actting in order to be considered incredible. They just exist and that's enough. So I have officially equated Cher to fireworks. Great. That was completely unintentional. But in all seriousness, fireworks are incredible. They serve no purpose really other then to decorate the sky for half a second before fading into oblivion. 
Again, it's Cher. 
Actually I could take this analogy further. Fireworks were invented in China thousands of years ago. Cher was born thousands of years ago. Probably in some foreign country. And most of her parts were probably made in China. Let's face it, by now she's probably more plastic then human anyway. 
Something to think about at least. 
So in conclusion :
 = fireworks
Again, I am sorry for tainting fireworks forever. 

Countdown: 
1: Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
2: Rock Band
3. Fireworks
