A Tasty Quest

So as a few of you know, I am on a very happy quest to drink all of the Jamba Juice Secret Menu drinks. I've always been a fan of Jamba so this mission should be pretty easy for me, and theres also a bunch of locations around my area so its easily accessible.

I was able to acquire a hard copy of a secret menu from one of the stores near where I live. I ordered a White Gummy drink, which is one of the most common secret menu drinks, and when I did so the guy asked me and my group if we'd ever had the Green Gummy. We said no and one of my friends ordered it and he said it was good. It was basically a White Gummy with Green Tea ice cream added to it. We all talked about the different secret menu drinks that we've had and the worker at JJ was like "here you guys can have a copy of our secret menu". We all received a menu and hence the quest was begun.

Theres about 30 drinks on the secret menu that the worker gave us. It excludes the really basic secret menu drinks that everyone has heard of, like the White Gummy and Pink Star. This secret menu has all of the unique flavors, ranging from Skittles to Sunny Delight to even Screamin' Baby.

I'll be honest though, there are a few drinks on here that I'm scared to try out. Theres one drink called the Tootsie Pop, which sounds terrible in my opinion. I don't ever think I could enjoy a chocolate Jamba Juice drink. The flavors just wouldn't seem right to me. Theres also another chocolate drink on the menu, I forget the name of it because I don't have my menu with me, but it somehow infuses Carrot juice into the drink and its just disgusting sounding.

Alright so starting now I'm going to review all of the drinks I've already had and give them grades. I know this isn't really scientific or anything because my taste buds are different and all JJ's make their drinks different but yeah I still think a review of all the secret menu JJ drinks is necessary. So lets start off with the common ones that I've already had.

White Gummy - This drink is probably one of the sweeter drinks you'll encounter on the secret menu. The name does not lie, it basically tastes like you're drinking a White Gummy bear. Its really sugary and sweet, so hence its probably not the best drink for your health but it tastes delicious. A-

Pink Star - Another one of the really sweet secret menu flavors. The star in the name is short for starburst, which should give you an idea about how this one tastes. (kinda like a strawberry starburst) B+

Peeyna Colada - This drink used to be on the Regular menu, but it was taken off for unknown reasons. This used to be the drink that I ordered all the time because I really enjoyed the strong pineapple flavor. These days its been disappointing me a bit though, because its either been really sour or really banana flavored. B

Strawberry Daiquiri - One of the first drinks I ordered specifically off the secret menu, this drink was good at the first sip, and after that it got increasingly bad. It ended up tasting like a horrible mix of strawberries and plain yogurt. This was probably the only time that I've ever not finished a JJ drink. D+

CapriSun - Remember when you were a kid and you drank the caprisun packets all day? Well thats exactly what this drink tastes like. I was pretty surprised at the taste, because it tastes like the Mountain Cooler flavor of CapriSun. Brought back alot of childhood memories, as well as tasting great all at the same time. A

Snozzberry - You might recognize this as the fruit from Willy Wonka. JJ apparently has mananged to make a fictional fruit real and give it a taste. But the taste is pretty good. Its kind of like a very sweet banana, but the banana flavor can be overwhelming at times. B-

Random Shuffles

So yeah I'm bored and I don't feel like typing up a huge post, even though I could probably write alot about V-Day and the past week. So instead I'm going to do the whole I-Pod Shuffle thing and do the questionnaire based on my answers from randomly choosing songs from my I-Pod.

A New 21st and Lots of Driving

So this Saturday was a very interesting day. It was Olivers 21st birthday party and I had a super good time there, even though it was with my high school friends that I don't usually have that great of a time with. So the day started out pretty simple, went and picked up Oliver and Christine and drove to the International Supermarket to go buy some oysters. I always hate going to that store because of the smell and because of the people that frequent that store. Well we got Olivers huge box of oysters and then we went to Ronnies house to go kidnap him. This turned into a bit of an awkward situation because his mom opened up the door and she was kinda pushing Ronnie outside, whereas Ronnie did not want to go haha. But yeah he eventually came with us and we arrived at Olivers house safe and sound thanks to my awesome driving.

Well that night didn't turn interesting until more people started to show up and the alcohol started flowing. I took about 5 shots that night which was the most ive ever drank in my life. It was pretty cool though because I finally kinda felt the effects of the alcohol. For some reason, I was able to keep control on myself perfectly but I was just super hyper. Like the true Sean came out that night because of the alcohol. I think I made Ronnie and Yoshiko believe that I was on X but yeah I really wasn't. Though for the very first time in my entire life, I smoked. Yes I finally accomplished my new years resolution to start smoking and then stop. It was weird though, because usually when people smoke for the first time, they cough a little and probably choke it all back out, but for me I was able to take it in and not cough at all. It went down smoothly and came back up much like it did going down. The taste was really nice also, and though I have all these nice things to say about smoking, I don't think I'll ever do it again because I would much rather live than die.

Well that night was really fun because I actually felt like part of the crowd and that I wasn't just some loner in the corner. I met alot of new people that night and remade some connections with people that might have been lost before. It was also good talking to Ronnie on that drive home, because its nice having someone you can just open up to about stuffs.

Well the next day was pretty intense also. I woke up with a slight hangover from the night before, and I guess it kinda shower with exactly how I woke up that day. I woke up lying flat on my back, and one of my arms was wrapped in front of me. When I woke up in a bit of a daze, I saw my own arm and I was like "OMG WHOSE ARM IS THAT AHHHHHH!!!" Its never a good thing to be scared of your own arm first thing in the morning.

Well after that whole experience of fear first thing in the morning, I got ready to go and drive back to Hayward for the first part of my driving extravaganza Sunday. I got to Hayward at around 3pm and I stayed in my dorm till 4. After that I walked out to D-Lot and met up with the rest of the group and we sort of started the drive to Sacramento. I knew that I wouldn't last the drive there though without some refreshments so I stopped by at Jamba Juice. Reminder than I needa take ALOT of people out to dinner sometime. Especially that one girl named Annie haha. Shes been paying for alot of stuff for AphiO lately so I just feel I need to do something nice for in because shes been so nice to us.

Well when we got to Sac State we were pretty amazed by how their Union looked. It reminded me alot of SJSU's Union because it was like, the same color and the same design. One of the more random moments of the trip came when we went upstairs in search for their meeting and I saw my friend BJ there that goes to Sac State. We talked for a bit and then we proceeded onto their meeting. Ok as a truly honest opinion, Sac States meetings are pretty cool but they do so much more than we do. They're all really super official about how their meetings are run and they actually do stuff like having votes and making motions and discussions. We don't do that at all because we're more just like, "Fuck it lets just do it".

Well Nancy wanted me to announce to Sac State that our chapter is having a game day and that all the IC's were invited. But me being me, my randomness and hyperness made Nancy a little worried that I'd embarass the whole chapter in from of Kappa Sig. And I was already kinda getting excited and laughing a bit and doing my dances so nancy whispered to me "Sean you're humiliating us!". And my response to this was to loudly blurt out "IM NOT HUMILIATING YOU GUYS". Oh good job Sean. The rest of the meeting was pretty cool though because me and Regina basically just spent the whole time drawing on the pieces of paper that we had. Reginas muffin top man is probably one of the cooler drawings ive seen.

Well after Sac State we had to drive to UC Davis for one of their meetings. We got there like, super late but we were just in time for meeting alot of the Davis people. It actually did kind of change my opinion about the Davis chapter of APO. I had been disgruntled with them because of their previous Scavenger Hunt and how disorganized it was, but now after meeting them and socializing with them a bit, I see that theyre actually pretty cool to hang out with. After their meeting we went out with them to Sonics afterwards, whcih is always a pretty nifty place to go because of their awesome drinks.

After all the meetings were over, I had to endure the long hour and a half drive back to Hayward, but to be honest it went by pretty fast because me and Regina talked the whole time. So yeah till next time.
