The Power Of Positive Delusional Thinking

So I went to the filling station this morning to get a cup of coffee. I do this a couple of times a week. They rotate flavors through but I almost always get hazelnut. For the last month or so though, there has been a wee sign on the hazelnut carafe that says try 'French Toast Muffin' .  I did and I LOVE it. It's very unique- way different than my normal hazelnut.   Sweet somehow. You can really taste the maple overtones. It quickly became my new favorite.  Today when I bought some, I used the last of the carafe so the following conversation with the Filling Station Lady ensued:

ME: I just maxed out your French Toast Muffin coffee.
FSL: What?
ME: I just used the last of the French Toast Muffin coffee.
FSL: (blank look)
ME: I just took the last cup of French Toast Muffin coffee (pointing to the carafe).
FSL: Oh! You mean hazelnut!
ME: (patiently) No, it's in the hazelnut carafe, but it says French Toast Muffin.
FLS: No, the coffee is hazelnut, the sign is just to get you to try one of our new French Toast Muffins.
ME: (Stunned silence)

That's right, People. I had been drinking my same old hazelnut for a month now thinking it was something brand new and exciting.  There's a lesson in there somewhere but I don't have time to learn it. I have to figure out a way to invent my beloved,  though imaginary, French Toast Muffin coffee!

Yep, that's pretty funny!
I got drunk once on mulled cranberry juice that unbeknownst to me was really mulled cranberry juice, not mulled wine and cranberry juice. But hey, no hangover. (or bladder infection!)

I would have thought the same thing. They should have put a picture of the French Toast Muffin on the sign!

OTOH, have you tried Berres Brothers' Streusel Cake flavored coffee? Very yummy!
