The diet Pepsi/Coke was definitely too strong tasting and not the sugar free variety we had ordered. A little drop on a test strip and 5 seconds later we had confirmation - a high reading.<br /><br />The employees didn't really believe us - and had to go check the syrup canisters.<br /><br />This switch happens more times than you would like to believe.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09869872687134376507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-38452045604512760902011-10-11T11:26:48.825-07:002011-10-11T11:26:48.825-07:00I'm afraid that this may be a more common occu...I'm afraid that this may be a more common occurrence than we think. Someone recently posted the same story on my blog's Facebook page - like you, she caught the mistake because the slushee was orange and not red.

Luckily Isaac only liked half of his cup then dumped the rest saying it was gross. I haven't taken them to get them since. I wish we had a slurpee police :) Wondering if a ketone strip would work in this case...hmmm...Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03210820513382353417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-67078757492663549612011-10-04T22:26:58.623-07:002011-10-04T22:26:58.623-07:00Go Slurpee Police!!!

I'd drive for my fave too. ; ) Currently my love is black bean soup, but it's only available on Tues, Thur, and Sat. at Panera. Good grief, that's a long time to wait! ; )<br /><br />I'm sure it's not as magical as a SF, bolus-less slurpee! : ) Never knew there was a SF-is there a Dt. Coke slurpee? Wish we still had 7-11's here! I miss them.<br />Love you and miss you, Mer!!!Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13864147601205439993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-36064568456361056652011-10-04T12:20:06.335-07:002011-10-04T12:20:06.335-07:00The Sheriff Is In Town... never gonna be able to h...The Sheriff Is In Town... never gonna be able to have another slurpee (sugar free or not) without thinking of you and your boys... and that darn sign.<br /><br />Why can't people get this??? It's like false marketing. Love it when you ask for something Diet, and they give you a cup full of something that's obviously not, and then they try to convince you otherwise even though it's clearly not diet...

Just like me, come hell or high water, despite the fact that gas prices are outrageous and traffic in my town is the 50,000 people population equivalent to New York City, I will drive all over Gods creation finding the right thing, instead of settling on what might or might not work for me.
