Short Story Long: Sex in a Glass


Yes, that is right...I have Sex in the title so I am now prey to spammers and weirdos alike. But this is a classic story with a classic refreshing twist. Sit down, children, and gather round.

A long, long time ago in a distant land of pretty girls and southern boys called Furman University lived our heroine, TRS. TRS was in a sorority with many good girls. However, there were some girls in the sorority that liked to shock the good girls with things like DRINKING! BOYS!!! and CAFFEINE!

Thus, paints the backdrop of my story: A sorority sister of mine (one of the bad ones) loved McDonald's fountain soft drinks so much that she often said that it was better than sex.

Shocked, scandalized but suspecting the full truth to this statement, a young, naive TRS told her friend and roommate, Buffalo Betty about the comment. During our weekly Friday-Happy-Meal run, Buffalo Betty cried "I want a Chicken Nugget meal with a Sex in a Glass!"

Thus the naming of Fountain Coke from McDonald's Sex in a Glass. And for my love, Diet Coke: Diet Sex in a Glass...often shortened to Diet Sex.

So much was our love of Sex and Diet Sex, that whenever we were sad a run for sex was always in order. Many times through the drive thru, I would say "2 Medium Diet Sex...I MEAN Diet Coke! Coke! (not sex)."

There is rumor that Coke gives McD's a different formula for fountain drinks, or they calibrate their syrup to soda ratio better...I don't care. I love it and will never stop calling it what it truly is: Sex in a Glass.

***K-Dubs would probably like a disclaimer that this name was formed before having sex, esp. with him***

This post was so funny, but I laughed out loud when I got to the disclaimer... because I can imagine my husband making the same sort of comment if I'd written a post like that.

naming the "bad" sorority sister would have definitely made this post more interesting for me. alas, i will just have to speculate...

Love getting called out for my sex addiction. I'll have you know I've gone without for over a year now... God, I miss it. Diet Sunkist in a can is like, well, it's not the same.

Come down for my party if you're making a southern pilgrimage for the holidays!

Can you imagine if they put the little balls of ice like sonic. Absolute perfection!

I think the Mickey D's version has a more orange-y flavor. Is that what makes them taste different?
