Jamba Juice Flavor - Sour Patch Kid
So I had always heard that Jamba Juice had a secret menu full of wondrous secretive secret flavors, and being a huge fan of the Jamba I have been itching to get my lips around a straw that could deliver one of those exclusive flavors to my taste buds. I finally got around to googling (I love how that's an excepted verb now) "Jamba Juice secret menu" I found a list filled with wonder and magic. Like a child at Christmas I eagerly read through the menu. I couldn't wait to try them all. That was back in February. I'll admit I put off starting my Jamba adventure, but finally on Monday I had my first taste of secrecy. After a family game of miniature golf (which I totally won. My mom wouldn't let me keep score because "someone's feelings would get hurt", so I kept them in my head. Ha!) my family and I headed out for a cool refreshing Jamba Juice. As we drove towards the fruity haven I thought back to February and the list came to mind. Finally I remembered the purpose for finding the list. I knew it was time for my journey to begin. My mind raced as I tried to remember any of the flavors. The only one that I could dig up was Sour Patch Kid. That sounds good, I thought, I like sour things. At last we arrived at the fine establishment of juice and I pranced through the doors. Upon placing my order the cashier gave me an incredulous look then turned to her fellow juice comrade inquiring about the existence of the flavor. Her jolly juice mate replied with an affirmative, but admitted that she didn't know the recipe, but a secretive Sam of the Sour Patch Squad would know. (Ok admittedly I embellished his name and title, but I think it just adds so much to the story). After a quick call to the Sour Patch Squad HQ the recipe was obtained and my juicy treat was on it's way. I waited impatiently for my sour sipping to start. "Whitney, Sour Patch Kid." I leapt from my oversized stool and lunged for the counter. I grasped the cup greedily and wrapped my lips eagerly around the straw. I slurped and immediately what tasted like pure sugar filled my mouth enveloping my tongue and sliding down my throat. Within seconds I was on a sugar high. Once we had all acquired our smoothies we headed to the stake center to finish the day with our cleaning duties. As we drove I merrily sucked up the entirety of the sour treat letting it's unhealthy sugar fill my heart and soul with joy. However, my joy was short lived. As we pulled up to the stake center I got out of the car and BAM! I was nauseous. The high concentrate of sugar and bliss contained in the smoothie was too much for my stomach to handle, I felt like I was going to vomit. I hobbled into the building clutching my abdomen and completed my duties by occasionally curling up on the floor in the fetal position until I felt the strength, and stomach stability, to move again. After living through that traumatic experience I felt it was my duty to test every flavor on that secret menu and report the results to the world here, and now I am doing just that. The flavor Sour Patch Kid is an explosion of sugar, both sour and sweet. This flavor is meant only for the sugar lovers and those who have a high tolerance for extremely high levels of sugar. I'll try to report back next week with a new flavor and hopefully a fun (or just long) story! Enjoy!
