After rounds this morning I stopped by the doctors' lounge to get a Big-Gulp sized coffee. They were out of creamer, so when I got to the office I grabbed a couple packets that were lying around the break room and stirred them in.
When I began drinking it I choked. The packets weren't creamer. They were parmasan cheese, from a drug rep who brought pizza last week.
Coffee tossed, switching to Diet Coke.
I have done that.
ReplyDeleteWas at dinner with my wife and mother in law at an Italian restaurant, and when my coffee arrived, I was so caught up in the conversation I didn't notice I was picking h the Parmesan instead of the sugar. Reading that on your blog put the whole episode right back in my mind in 100% clarity. Thanks:P
I don't know how you drink DC over Coke Zero. Zero is soooo far superior! But both are better than Parmesan flavored coffee :-/
Auffer- I drink both. I keep a case of each in the fridge, and switch between them depending on my mood. And Vault Zero for variety.
ReplyDeleteI've done that too only my poison was salt instead of sweet and low. I just switched to black tea.
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday. Hopefully the rest of the week goes smoother.
Vault Zero... Now you're talking a language I can understand, Doc!
ReplyDeleteGrumpy, if you need the caffeine, for sure coffee with parmesan cheese in it is a better fix than diet coke with an extra packet of sweetener. At least the coffee doesn't fizz out.
ReplyDeleteVault zero... the only thing I miss about not being in Texas!
ReplyDeleteI have searched far and wide here in the land of fruits, nuts and flakes (California) and cannot find it at all, anywhere.
I figured they'd discontinued it... now that I know it still exists, my pill counting today will be at a much more depressed pace.
Thanks for simultaneously ruining and brightening my day, DrG. :/
When leaving Olive Garden on evening the waiter forgot to give us the Andes mints. spying two rectangles on an empty nearby table I picked them up. Upon opening them in the car, I found out they were butter pats. lol
ReplyDeleteIt pays to READ the wrapper!
Grumpy, time to start doin' the serial 7's (on yourself).
ReplyDeleteAt 0613, a very easy mistake to make!
ReplyDeleteWhile having dinner with my mom the other day, I took some cole slaw from the salad bar. When I took a bite of said slaw, I almost spit it out. It was seafood salad! I hate seafood. Last time I listen to my mom about what's on the salad bar. At least you had the DC backup.
ReplyDeleteI did that once with a big container of garlic salt. They served pizza or whatever there too and the glass dispenser was there with all the other condiments (pizza-related, coffee-related, all together) and I just grabbed it without thinking. Soooooo happy I caught the mistake before I took a swig!!
ReplyDeleteByuck! That's like my continual problem with paprika and cinnamon.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the time that a friend brought over a pizza...and a heaping handful of non-dairy creamer packets.
