July 26 2005 -- The End of the NYC Adventure
|
New York can be a dark and scary place once the sun goes down. Thing that go bump in the night come out to terrorize the citizens and create a wave of panic every night when the daylight is gone. You feel like you are in the worst nightmare of your life. Satanic imagery is everywhere and when you hear those sirens go off your head feels like it splits open in one of the worst headaches of your life. When you get over the pain you always find yourself in a hellish version of where you once where. The walls run with blood, demonic nurses chase after you, corpses line the street.
Or maybe that's just a video game.
Well, whatever it was my date for the evening (what was her name again? I go out with so many girls I get them all confused) made a comment about the bathroom she used in Wendy's. "It's like a bathroom out of Silent Hill." Man, what a terror that must have been. What? You've never played the Silent Hill series of video games? I feel sorry for you then, Silent Hill and it's sequels are the pinnacle of horror gaming filling the player with a sense of horror, dread, sadness, and depression unlike any other game experience, but that's not what we are talking about here, although it is a good way to start off a review of something pink and sweet tasting. Sets the mood.
Wendy's Granola Yogurt.
Look how happy and pink it looks! Just the sort of thing a tired girl needs after a night of drinking, laughing, and using a bathroom out of hell. Okay, so maybe it's not just what a girl needs after all that but there was a big NEW! on the sign next to it so it was pretty much what I needed.
Waiting for my lady friend in the line at Wendy's I spotted this item on the corner of the menu. It looked nice enough from the picture so I decided to give it a shot. Yogurt and granola. It's not a very daring combination at all, in fact, it's something most everyone has tried or at least seen in the store at some point. I wondered what a fast food version of it would taste like, not must different then the dozens of other duplicate versions of it at every grocery store in existence I figured.
 I was pretty much right, too. You mix the granola into the yogurt and eat away with your plastic spoon (we can afford spoons here in this country). The flavor was pretty generic too, strawberry, but not a real strawberry like the premium fruit on the bottom type yogurts. No, this was more like a Dannon yogurt or other pre-mixed non fruit chunk yogurts. The granola added a nice crunch to it but it wasn't something to really set it apart from anything else.
Would I get it again? Naa. When I go to a fast food place like Wendy's I usually want a vile greasy hamburger or some sort of fried chicken sandwich. I could see the yogurt being a nice thing to give a small child or for someone stopping in with other people who don't want to be bogged down by the fat and filth that the rest of us love so much about these types of establishments.
2.5 cheese. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't anything special.
 
So there you have it, I finished up the yogurt and we walked a whole many blocks to the World Trade Center PATH station to get back to our homes in lovely NJ. By the end of the night we were hot and sweaty, sticky to the touch. Sexy, right? Damn humidity. Anyway, that's all from NYC. Maybe I'll find some more good stuff there when I go back this weekend. Or maybe not. Who knows.
Be seeing you.
