Gather around, children, while I tell you the tale of a tireless internal struggle--that of Giosy vs. the Oreo McFlurry.
It didn't start out this way. When she was younger, she preferred Oreo Blizzards from Dairy Queen, always with extra Oreo. But then when she had to start paying for her own plasticky carton cups of paradise, she gravitated towards the almost 50% cheaper McDonald's version, and in doing so has probably saved enough money to buy several more McFlurries.
The ultimate (summer) treat: the Oreo McFlurry. But in comparison to the picture, I prefer at least three times the Oreo.
Today, while walking the burning cement streets of Davie and Cardero en route to finding a satisfyingly delicious sandwich, she eyed the golden arches in their infinite glory and pondered the consequences of giving in. The temperature called for weakness, but alas, the stomach did not. Instead, she speedily walked past it as a piece of her cookie heart broke in two.
"Next time..." she promised herself.
She has yet to have her first McFlurry kiss of the summer. And will she ever find one that tops the unbelievably Oreo-filled McFlurry she had on her last day in New York City? Only time and gluttony will tell...
I'm proud that you didn't get it, Giosy! Think of your health! You don't want to get diabetes or clogged arteries. I had a smoothie today and then was thinking of getting iced tea during dinner, but then I thought of all the sugar in the iced tea and the sugar I already had in my smoothie, and I decided to drink water instead because I am afraid of getting diabetes...
