    And it cost less than the milkshake I stupidly got last night.

Completely an aside, there is a chocolate/coffee shop near me. This summer I noticed while getting an espresso that they had shakes and malts, so I told the girl to just make me a shake and dump a couple shots of espresso right in.

HOLY SHIT.

This summer I probably had, no exaggeration, close to 100 vanilla espresso shakes. Sort of glad Fall is here so I can calm down.

You are now aware of what Espresso Affogato means.

I had that in NY this past summer from a little roadside cart, -the ice cream version. I should have known everything has a name. It basically kicks the ass of every flavor combination that companies like Ben & Jerry's or Haagen Daz could ever come up with. A pinnacle.

...and it's simple enough that it really allows quality ingredients to shine. Good coffee + good ice cream = DIZZOPENESS.

Okay so what happened to me was that I live near a place that had half-off milkshakes all summer, and I got conditioned in August and September, and now it's not summer and they're not half-off -- but I'm fucking addicted so I still order them if I have an especially shitty day. They don't do espresso otherwise I would definitely try that.

Wait, -this place gives half off milkshakes in the summertime and charges full price when summer is over? They are totally doing it wrong, lol.

Basically same thing happened to me. Milkshake addiction out of nowhere. Who saw that coming? Not me.

Yeah, but on the other hand they completely hooked me. I dunno.
